is delighted to announce that Andy Booth has been elected as a US expert on the

committee responsible for overseeing the IEC 61914 standard on cable cleats for

electrical installations. This ensures that Panduit remains ahead of the game

with regards to standards compliance and safety, and puts their new range of

cable cleats in a market-leading position.

"Having worked with the committee previously, I'm really looking forward to

joining back up with some old colleagues to continue this important work," said

Booth, a chartered engineer with over 20 years of experience in the industry

and a senior member of IEEE.

Since its first publication in 2009, the maintenance committee for the IEC

61914 standard have worked towards a harmonized, easy-to-understand technical

publication. Its aim is to provide cleat manufacturers with clear, unbiased

guidance on the safe cable cleat design and testing. Having representation on

the committee further enhances Panduit's leadership on the harmonization of

standards and ability to ensure future product development meets standards

requirements.

Cable cleats ensure cables remain contained in the event of a short circuit

fault, minimizing disruption and damage to personnel and property. In the U.S.,

NEC 392.20(C) governs the safety of the cable installations in cable trays but

does not currently provide adequate guidance on how to securely contain cables

in the event of a short circuit.

The International IEC standard 61914 provides the testing methodology and

process to ensure cable cleat reliability, including temperature rating,

resistance to flame propagation, lateral and axial load testing, impact

resistance, corrosion resistance, and resistance to electromechanical forces.

Assurance and insurance bundled together, cable cleats are an investment worth

making to help prevent project rework and ensure safety. Panduit's IEC

61914-compliant solutions -- including stainless steel locking strap cleats,

stainless steel buckle strap cleats, stainless steel trefoil cleats, and

aluminum and polymer cleats -- are uniquely engineered for ease of installation

in a range of applications and harsh environments.
