Quality

ISO Quality Management

Having held ISO9002 approval since 1995, our Quality Management System has been further developed and is now approved to ISO9001. We regard this as a minimum standard to maintain.

Cert No: GB96/6175

TÜV Rheinland Product Safety Type Approval

The following Interclamps have been tested and type approved by TÜV Rheinland, the leading independent test house in Europe:

101, 104, 116, 119, 124, 125, 127, 128, 129, 130, 131, 132, 134, 135, 137, 138, 140, 143, 144, 145, 146, 147, 148, 149, 150, 153, 154, 155, 156, 158, 160, 161, 165, 166, 167M, 168M, 169M, 173F, 173M, 176, 179, 198, 199, 232, 245, 246, 251, 252, 253, 255, 256, 725, 746, 747, 748, 750 & 751

Health & Safety - COSHH

Interclamps are not considered hazardous within the meaning of COSHH Regulations 1988, provided that tube is cut using conventional pipe cutters or saws and the fittings are assembled in the normal way to the tube using hexagon keys or ratchets. The Interclamp system is designed to avoid the need for welding which does have both COSHH and other health and safety implications, especially if the materials are pre-painted, coated or galvanised in any way. We do not recommend that Interclamps are welded.

Vibration Resistance Testing

In order to evaluate the vibration resistance of the standard Interclamp setscrews, stringent vibration endurance tests have been conducted by a UKAS accredited independent test laboratory. Read full article...
