Why should the product keep the promises?

UL verified: chainflex receives the highest recognition by globally recognised testing organisation

We issue a guarantee of up to 36 months on our cables with confidence, since we can make reliable predictions about their service life thanks to over 30 years of experience and 700 concurrent experiments.

igus is now the first German company to have this promise validated for chainflex cables. In a complex certification process, the US "Underwriters Laboratories" institute confirmed the accuracy of the following text: "igus 36-month chainflex cable guarantee and service life calculator based 2 two billion test cycles per year". This makes the Cologne-based company the first in Europe to have the veracity of an advertising statement confirmed by a testing institution. In future, every chainflex cable that leaves a factory anywhere in the world will be given the UL marketing label with its unique number (B129699) that refers to igus.

A total of 1,044 of the more than 1,350 cables in the portfolio and available from stock already have classic UL approval. This is a prerequisite for smooth system commissioning in the US. Exporting systems to America will therefore be a smooth process. The combination of UL approval and UL marketing label benefits export efforts twice over.

These statements create reliability and planning security for your entire investment process, especially now that they have been confirmed by an external body! Learn all about UL verified in the free-of-charge white paper:
