Quality Assurance and Sustainability Initiatives
Electra Cables places a high priority on product quality and environmental stewardship. A substantial portion of their cable ranges, including Data, Communication, Electrafire®, Industrial, and Power Cables, are 100% Greenstar Certified. This certification, Australia's leading rating system for environmental practices in building and construction, acknowledges their sustainable efforts, including recognition under 'Best Environmental Practice PVC V2.0' and an endorsement from the Vinyl Council of Australia. All Electra Cables products are warranted under AS/NZS Standards and undergo rigorous independent testing to ensure optimal performance and adherence to regulatory requirements.
The company's proactive approach to market changes was evident when it absorbed significant costs to ensure electrical wholesalers could continue trading seamlessly during the sudden introduction of the E.E.S.S. (Electrical Equipment Safety Scheme). Electra Cables is also a registered 'Responsible Supplier' with ERAC (Electrical Regulatory Authorities Council).
