The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has introduced a new standard for Cable Trunking and Ducting Systems for Electrical Installations: Cable Trunking and Ducting Systems Intended for Mounting on Walls or Ceiling. These systems play a crucial role in accommodating and segregating conductors, cables, or cords alongside other electrical equipment as necessary. They offer flexible installation options, being capable of direct attachment to walls or ceilings, either flush, semi-flush, or indirectly mounted. BIS certification is obligatory for these systems, as specified in the BIS IS standard: IS 14927 (Part 2): 2001.
Cable trunking and ducting systems are vital components in electrical installations, serving as structured and safeguarded pathways for cable and component management. Trunking commonly utilizes enclosed channels constructed from materials like PVC or metal to shield and conceal cables, thereby decreasing the risk of damage and mitigating electrical hazards. Similarly, ducting systems comprise organized networks of channels or trays that guide and protect wires across different infrastructures.
Crafted to oversee, safeguard, and direct electrical cables, these systems offer methodical approaches for routing and safeguarding wires across diverse environments. Be it residential, commercial, or industrial settings, they enhance safety, productivity, and orderliness. Their adaptability facilitates secure installation on walls and ceilings, adjusting to unique environmental needs.
