Marine

Marine cables must operate in some of the most hostile environments on earth. The BASEC name is synonymous with quality and safety. Our cable testing enables you to demonstrate to your clients that your cables meet the required standards and will deliver reliable service for many years.

In addition, our Product Approvals and Certification Schemes are recognised as some of the most demanding in the industry.

We have been operating independently in the cable industry for over 50 years, and the rigour that we apply to our testing and auditing ensures that contractors and specifiers can specify BASEC approved cable with confidence.
