Standards, Certifications & Class Approval

Review the available standards and approval information relevant to the product. Actual certification, material traceability, inspection and classification requirements depend on the product type, intended application and purchasing specification.

Applicable Standards & Certification IEC 61537 is commonly applicable to cable tray and cable ladder systems. Marine installations may also require compliance with applicable IEC 60092 shipboard electrical installation requirements, manufacturer test documentation, and project specifications.
Class Approval Product or installation approval may be required by DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, or ClassNK, depending on vessel type, location, material, fire-risk area, and project requirements. Approval is manufacturer- and project-specific.

Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information

Installation Notes Install ladders on structurally adequate brackets with spacing based on the manufacturer's load tables and vessel vibration requirements. Maintain separation between power and sensitive signal cables where required, bond metallic sections across joints, and use approved corrosion-resistant fasteners and fittings.
Maintenance Tips Inspect periodically for corrosion, loose supports, damaged coatings, deformation, excessive cable loading, and missing bonding jumpers. Remove accumulated salt, dust, and oil, and repair damaged protective finishes using an approved marine coating system.
Safety Notes Verify cable ladder loading, clearance, earthing, and fire-zone requirements before installation. Do not use ladders as walkways or lifting points. Isolate electrical systems before cable work and follow vessel lockout/tagout procedures.
