When you are purchasing a wire or cable for your building project, or connecting an electrical appliance, you are not buying an umbrella from a local retailer but a product that contains high energy potential, so safety should be the highest priority and standard compliance by wire and cable manufacturers in India gives the confidence that the stock or individual item will perform without causing electrical failure under the practical circumstances.
Standardizing Bodies
Gaining tenders for government projects, institutional networks become easier as these standards indicate consistency across the batch. These are some of the prominent bodies that set frameworks, define product standards and share well-documented reports by testing the components:
ISO
International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is a well-known body that establishes a global framework for quality management, environmental practices and efficiency of operations. It does not certify products directly, but frameworks that the manufacturers follow.
BIS
The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is the top Indian authority that sets regulations and defines product-specific standards in India. It is widely recognized in both public and private sectors.
JAS-ANZ
Joint Accreditation System of Australia and New Zealand (JAS-ANZ) gives accreditation to bodies that audit, evaluate and validate the management systems. It helps the wire and cable manufacturers in India gain acceptance in global markets.
CPRI
Central Power Research Institute (CPRI) is an independent body that conducts tests on electrical cables and equipment. The reports of their tests are highly valued in the high voltage applications, large-scale infrastructure projects and electricity utility services.
Key Standards To Which Tycon Adheres
Tycon Cables Pvt. Ltd. is one of the leading wire and cable manufacturers in India that complies with these standards for quality management and manufacturing operations:
ISO 9001:2015
By following these foundational standards, we document our processes, monitor the production chain, and maintain consistency across the batch. Control over raw material sourcing, calibrated machinery, and testing protocols during process and final delivery are part of this.
IS: 1554, IS: 14255 & IS: 7098 (Part-1)
IS: 1554 defines conductor quality, insulation and testing for PVC cables. IS: 14255 is applicable to XLPE cables used in low voltage applications, whereas IS 7098 Part-1 applies to XLPE cables but for medium voltage.
Conclusion
For any product manufacturer, there are certain standards expected. These standards, guidelines or norms ensure that the product is safe to use in a specific application, manufactured using approved processes, raw materials are ethically sourced, and the claims are verified by independent agencies. In the electrical wire industry, the focus is more on performance and safety rather than visuals. Buying from well-certified wire and cable manufacturers in India is non-negotiable. For large-scale infrastructure projects, these compliances are valuable for regulatory purposes.
Tycon is a well-certified and approved manufacturer backed by highly experienced leadership. We manufacture and supply to some of the most reputable clients in private and government sectors. Our market presence is also quite strong among the retailers.
