NABL Accredited Conductor & Insulating Mat Testing in India

Transmission and distribution utilities buy conductors against IS 398 and expect an accredited report for every lot. We test strand diameter and lay, breaking load, resistance, elongation, wrapping, torsion and zinc coating, along with the BS and EN standards used for export orders.

Insulating mats for substations and panels are tested to IS 15652 for dielectric strength, ageing, flame and dimensional requirements.
