Whenever harnessed cables are produced as part of a final product for the North American and Canadian market, an UL certified cable harness is necessary. With the UL certification AVT Wiring & Connecting ensures the detailed verification of components according to the agreed drawing. This helps in the acceptance of your products on the North American market.
UL tests and certifications Underwriter Laboratories Inc. (UL), an independent American test and certification authority, confirms the use of the materials and documents required by the final customer according to the UL certification for “Wiring Harness” according to ZPFW2 and ZPFW8. In the manufacturer´s data base (www.ul.com) AGCO BV is listed under file no. E360931 as a qualified and reliable manufacturer.
The requirements for UL certified cable harness are controlled by external audits every three months in order to guarantee the high requirements of the UL standards. Our connector assemblies and wire harnesses are tested in our facilities and are marked with the “UL Wiring Harness Label”.
IPC/WHMA-A-620 remains the only industry-consensus standard for requirements and acceptance of cable and wire harness assemblies. These include materials, methods, tests and acceptance criteria for the production of crimped, mechanically fastened or soldered connections and the associated assembly operations. If a cable assembly is produced according to one of the described methods, the quality is guaranteed. You can rely on this. IPC WHMA-A-620 is about global best practices. So whether you do business in North America, Europe, Asia, or anywhere else, IPC WHMA-A-620 is applicable. Many companies offer wire harnessing and custom cable assembly services, but not every manufacturer has IPC WHMA-A-620 certified employees. Achieving this certification is a process, but the benefits are well-worth the effort. Employees develop skills and demonstrate competence. We have an IPC WHMA-A-620 certified trainer in our team here at our manufacturing center in Eindhoven.
