Accredia is the Italian accreditation body that assesses the competence of testing laboratories, certification bodies, and inspection bodies. When Tratos got their lab accredited by Accredia, it means that Accredia has evaluated and verified that Tratos’ laboratory meets specific criteria and standards for performing tests on electrical and optical cables.
The “ELENCO PROVE ACCREDITATE—CATEGORIA: 0” section you provided lists the accredited tests carried out by Tratos’ lab. These tests focus on various aspects such as the degree of acidity of gases evolved during combustion, measurement of smoke density emitted by burning cables, heat release and smoke production during flame spread tests, and vertical flame propagation for insulated wires or cables. These tests are performed according to specific international standards like EN (European Norm), ensuring the reliability and quality of the results obtained by Tratos’ laboratory.
Tratos’ laboratory has been accredited by Accredia, the Italian accreditation body, for conducting tests on electrical and optical cables. The accredited tests include:
- Degree of acidity of gases evolved during combustion: pH and conductivity – Method: Potentiometry (EN 60754-2:2014)
- Measurement of smoke density of cables burning under defined conditions (EN 61034-2:2005/Amd1:2013/Amd2:2019 + EN 61034-1:2005/Amd1:2014/Amd2:2019)
- Heat release and smoke production measurement on cables during flame spread test (EN 50399:2011/A1:2016)
- Vertical flame propagation for a single insulated wire or cable (Procedure for 1 kW pre-mixed flame) (EN 60332-1-1:2004 + A1:2015 + EN 60332-1-2:2004 + A1:2015)
These tests ensure that Tratos’ laboratory meets specific criteria and standards set by Accredia for testing electrical and optical cables, ensuring the reliability and quality of the results obtained.
