BASEC Product Certification and Approval

BASEC (British Approval Service for Cables) are an independent, accredited approval organisation for cable products including fire resistant cables for use in fire detection and fire alarm systems and other applications requiring specific performance in the event of a fire.

BASEC approval of a particular product range against the applicable standard results in the issue of a Product Certification Schedule and listing and provides confirmation that a product meets and continues to meet appropriate standards.

BASEC approval is given only after rigorous assessment and successful Type Testing of representative samples of the product against the requirements of the appropriate standards.
 
Other commercial testing organisations are available to independently test products according to standard / customer / manufacturer requirements.  In such cases a test report covering the specific item tested may be issued, but this does not constitute an accredited certification and ongoing approval of the product range.

Further information may be obtained direct from BASEC at  www.basec.org.uk
