Wiring Accessories

Electrical wiring accessories are common in our daily lives, ranging from switches and plugs to adaptors and outlets. However, degradation of these products can pose a danger to both human lives and the environment. Causes include general wear and tear, mechanical impact and insulation failure, among others. Testing is therefore required to ensure product safety and compliance to international standards. A box or an enclosure, which is an integral part of an electrical accessory and provides protection for that accessory against external influences (for example mechanical impact, ingress of solid objects or water, etc.) is covered by the relevant standard for such an accessory. Some common electrical accessories widely used in homes include MCB Boxes, Meter Boxes, switches, outlets and sockets, plugs, junction boxes, circuit breakers and fuses, light fixtures, and lamp holders.
