On June 13, Kama Cable held a round table with the leading manufacturers of cable and wire products: TD UNCOMTECH LLC, Cable Alliance Holding LLC. The topic was the discussion of the amount of counterfeit products in the industry.
A third of fires in the country is caused by faulty wiring. The turnover of counterfeit cable products is massive, reaching 80% in the construction industry country-wide. Vladimir Kashkin, the head of the 'Cable without Danger' federal project, told about the results of monitoring the quality of products. During inspections, serious violations were found both in cables and in quality documents. More than 70% of samples do not comply with GOST and TR/CU: 82% have violations related to fire resistance and smoke removal.
Thirteen manufacturers received Rosstandart resolutions requiring to suspend the sales, and eight distributors were penalized with administrative fines.
During the meeting, several measures were developed on expansion of the activities of the 'Cable without Danger' project, interaction with regulatory authorities and public organisations.
