Regulatory framework of fasteners and supporting systems for electrical wiring

Regulatory framework of fasteners and supporting systems for electrical wiring

Fixing products for electrical wiring are treated as mere ancillary products by the current building codes. ITeC is proposing a set of technical specifications for these fasteners and supports that reflects their true contribution to the essential requirements (mechanical resistance, safety, fire performance, etc) taking references from both the Spanish and European regulations and also from good practices.

Requirements for the fasteners used in grounding connections in transport infrastructures

Requirements for the fasteners used in grounding connections in transport infrastructures

Mechanical fixings used in transport infrastructures must keep their properties in unfavorable conditions, which get even worse if they are part of a grounding electrical circuit. In order to clarify the regulatory status of these elements, an analysis of the relevant regulations has been performed, including the technical specifications and conditions of use.

Characterization of systems for fixing photovoltaic panels on roofs

Characterization of systems for fixing photovoltaic panels on roofs

A company combines its own and third-party parts to build structures to install photovoltaic panels on building roofs and wants to check that they are suitable for this type of applications. ITeC has been approached to define which attributes must be measured, to prepare a testing plan and draw up a technical dossier with the results. The mechanical performance, electrical continuity and corrosion resistance have been analysed.

Regulatory situation of some automatic garage doors

Regulatory situation of some automatic garage doors

A manufacturer of automatic garage doors wants to ensure that its CE declaration of conformity to the relevant EU directives strictly complies with the standards EN 60335 and ETSI EN 300 220-1. ITeC has reviewed the test reports that the company has already carried out and has verified whether they satisfy all the requirements demanded by the standards, checking if it is necessary to perform additional tests.

Assessment of fireproofing solutions for pipe penetrations

Assessment of fireproofing solutions for pipe penetrations

The fire resistance of walls and floor slabs is compromised in those points where pipes go through, so if it is critical to guarantee their integrity in case of fire, specific sealing elements such as intumescent collars must be used. The evaluation has required to determine on a case-by-case basis how much fire resistance time can be expected according to the type of collar, material and geometry of the pipe, and components and geometry of the wall or floor.

Interface between cable pedestals and existing floors

Interface between cable pedestals and existing floors

A manufacturer of pedestals for data and energy cables needs an interface piece between their product and the floor. A collection of the different floor types most commonly used, with thicknesses and properties, has been used as a starting point.

Maintenance checklists for building facilities

Maintenance checklists for building facilities

In a building, the facilities are the components that have a shorter service life, so they must be subjected to a stricter maintenance discipline than the rest of construction elements. In order to perform an adequate preventive maintenance for the correct operation of the facilities of a building, these 75 checklists compile the operations to be carried according to the nature of the inspected equipment, indicating the recommended periodicity.
