Advantages of ECE R118-certified cables
Salcavi ECE R118-certified cables are designed for the public transport sector, where ECE R118 regulations define more stringent fire safety requirements than those applicable to private vehicles:
- ECE R118 certification issued by CSI: Certification by an accredited third-party body confirms compliance with fire safety requirements (low flammability, low smoke emission and no acid gas emission) for installation in passenger transport vehicles.
- Low smoke and acid gas emission: In the event of a fire on board buses or trams, reduced emission of opaque smoke and corrosive gases helps improve passenger evacuation conditions.
- Suitable for wiring on public transport vehicles: The cables are designed to withstand the operating conditions typically encountered in buses and trams, including high temperatures, vibration and exposure to chemical agents.
Production of ECE R118-certified cables
The production of Salcavi ECE R118-certified cables is structured to meet the technical specifications of bus and tram manufacturers, with the SI Lab laboratory verifying the thermal, chemical and physical properties of the compounds used. The ECE R118 certification is maintained through collaboration with CSI and regular type testing.
Applications of ECE R118-certified cables: reference sector
Bus and tram manufacturers, Tier 1 suppliers and specialist distributors serving the public transport sector find in this range cables qualified to meet ECE R118 regulatory requirements. The product range is suitable for on-board wiring, power distribution systems and electrical connections in passenger transport vehicles operating on urban and interurban routes.
