IS 7098 Testing Lab (High Tension Cable Testing Lab)

Indian Standard 7098 includes specifications for cross-linked polyethylene insulated PVC sheathed cables for electrical supply and control purposes. Since these cables are used for electrical supply and control, it is critical to understand that these components of the electrical power industry affect the economy as a whole, if conformance with compliance requirements is not maintained.

Considering this, the Bureau of Indian Standards introduced IS 7098 dated 22 December 1988, after the finalization of the draft by the Power Cables Sectional Committee had been approved by the Electrotechnical Division Council.

The major issue behind the introduction of this standard was to establish mandatory standards for cross-linked polyethylene insulated PVC sheathed cables, keeping in view of public interest, including providing safe, credible, and reliable products to consumers.

Moreover, since it is mandatory to comply with the specifications for cross-linked polyethylene insulated PVC sheathed cables, it helps you not only retain customers but also provides a competitive advantage.

To attain the benefits of a product must be tested and certified as prescribed by the concerned standard. Here, in the next section refer to the below-mentioned section.
