Cable management is a significant factor in safety and should be given due consideration. There is now a product on the market to suit virtually any application, so the key is to carefully evaluate your requirements beforehand.
It is advisable to check if the product has achieved the VDE – DIN EN 50146 European Standard for Cable Ties for Electrical Installations, the MIL MS 3367 and the International SAE AS23190. This way it is possible to be sure the correct procedures have been used by the manufacturer and the material properties of the cable tie are of the right quality.
Make sure you have chosen the correct product for the situation. For instance, if the cable ties are to be subjected to increased temperatures, such as in electrical panels, mass transit and automotive applications, choose a heat resistant tie that allows for operating temperatures between 40oC to 150oC.
