Imported electrical products that fail to meet Australian standards pose a far greater threat to Australian consumers than imported frozen berries, the Australian Cablemakers Association (ACA) has warned today.
The collapse of an electrical cable import business following a national recall of faulty product has highlighted serious flaws in the process for approving products for sale, the Australian Cablemakers Association (ACA) said today.
The Australian Cablemakers Association (ACA) has urged the new Victorian State Government to act urgently to address the risk to life and property caused by the recalled ECABLES products.
The Australian Cablemakers Association (ACA) has today warned of serious risk of fire and electric shock from yet another batch of faulty electrical cables which has been sold and installed over the last three years.
In Australia, AS/NZS3013 ‘Electrical installations-Classification of the fire and mechanical performance of wiring system elements’ is widely accepted and is referenced in the Building Code of Australia.
By now the industry is well aware of the product recall of Infinity branded cables. These cables were tested by the Australian Cablemakers Association (ACA) under its Approved Cables Initiative (ACI) program and reported to the relevant Government Authorities.
The Australian Cablemakers Association (ACA) proudly announces the launch of its website www.australiancablemakers.com on 1st July 2013. The website will be an informative communication platform for the entire electrical industry.
