Edited by the Manufacturingtalk editorial team Jun 28, 2007

SGS Fimko has offered CB certification for compression and mechanical connectors to the international IEC/EN 61238-1 standard, which takes between 5 and 12 weeks.

SGS Fimko has offered CB certificates for connectors based on the international IEC/EN 61238-1 standard.

The CB certification requires a period of full testing which may take between 5 and 12 weeks depending on the cross-section.

During the testing cycles temperature changes will be recorded by an automated data collector system.

Complex testing procedures ensure that customers receive valuable information about the connector's thermal behaviour.

The amount of information generated during the tests exceeds the standard's specifications but testing connectors under extreme conditions will generate valuable information to develop even better models for international markets.

The complete testing of connector models is a crucial step before their installation in critical places or extreme environments.
