IEC 61537: Global Standard for Cable Trays

IEC 61537: Global Standard for Cable Tray Systems and Cable Ladder Systems for Cable Management
- Wire mesh: historic presence within IEC 61537; acceptance in Industrial Applications.
- IEC 61537 is gaining U.S. presence, particularly for Industrial Applications.
- Cablofil is the only U.S. tray manufacturer with an IEC 61537 certificate. Our IEC 61537 certificate is verified by our ICM Quality Manager for compliance with IEC 61537.
- All Cablofil products are tested to meet IEC 61537.
Cablofil meets all IEC load testing requirements, and we allow only half of the maximum deflection allowed by IEC 61537. (L/200 instead of L/100; L=support span) |

ABS Certification: Completed July 7, 2003
- ABS verifies that products are manufactured consistently according to certain standards, and may be used onboard ships and offshore vessels.
- Two phases of ABS certification:
- Product Design Assessment - required for cable tray
- Type Approval - required for some products, but not for cable tray (may be obtained voluntarily)
- Like UL, ABS does not have a cable tray standard; ABS approved Cablofil products based on our wide range of existing certifications, such as:
- IEC 61537
- NEMA/CSA
- Shock & vibration testing to military standards
- DNV
