Quality Approvals and Industry Standards

As a major player in the flexible conduit market, Adaptaflex has gained many international approvals. With company members on leading technical committees and actively looking at international standards, we are able to use our experience and knowledge to ensure safety and quality levels are maintained now and in the future.

We continuously monitor our own quality levels, but we also go that step further by having our products independently tested. As a result you don’t have to just take our word for it, in contrast to some other companies our products are certified by independent third party agencies and standards so that you can have every confidence in our products.

Third Party Testing & Approvals

IEC61386 Performance Classification Standard
Adaptaflex is the first major conduit manufacturer to achieve third party accreditation to the EN50086/IEC 61386 Standard from the British Standards Institution (BSI). IEC61386 conformance guarantees that our products meet performance specifications for fatigue life, operating temperature, non-flame propagation, IP ratings amongst other criteria. IEC61386 will fully replace EN50086 by 2007.

BSI Kitemark
Adaptaflex is the only major conduit manufacturer to achieve third party accreditation through the BSI Kitemark scheme. The Kitemark is the world’s premier symbol of trust, integrity and quality. Manufacturers with the Kitemark are an elite club of some of the world’s best companies being annually tested to ensure continued compliance. Having the Kitemark associated with our products illustrates that we have satisfied the most rigorous of quality processes.

ISO9001 Quality Standard
Adaptaflex conform to ISO 9001:2000, the internationally recognised standard for Quality Management Systems. This standard reflects the procedures and management processes throughout the whole of the company.

BS EN ISO14001 Environmental Standard
Controlling the impact of manufacturing activities on the environment is a major challenge. Again Adaptaflex lead the way by being the first conduit manufacturer to comply with this Standard.

We also meet the requirements of EU directive 2002/95/EC on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances (RoHS). This forms part of the legislation on waste management and is aligned with the waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). Specifically this means no lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium; polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) are used in the manufacture of metallic and nonmetallic flexible conduit systems.
