(UL 1581)

Fire safety for electric cable products is more important than ever. Manufacturers, resellers and end users of wire and cable products need to be aware of the latest regulations and the products which meet those standards. The UL 1581 is an internationally recognised standard test for these products.

The FTT UL 1581 test for flammability of cable materials gives a preliminary indication of their suitability for a particular application. The apparatus is supplied as a complete system incorporating all the features necessary for ease of use and safety. It conforms to UL 1581 vertical specimen Bunsen burner tests and associated international standards.
These are:

1. 1060. Vertical Flame and FT1 Tests
2. 1061. Cable Flame Test
3. 1080. VW1(Vertical Specimen) Flame Test
4. 1090. Horizontal Specimen Appliance Wire Flame Test
5. Horizontal Specimen/FT2 Flame Test
