<strong>LEONI</strong> automotive cables<br />
with ADR/GGVS-approval<br />
With directive 94/55/EC, the EU has committed its member states<br />
to apply the ADR (which only regulates international transportation) both<br />
on a national, intra-community and cross-border basis from the 01.01.97<br />
onwards. This directive creates a standard basis from which the free<br />
movement of goods within the community when transporting hazardous<br />
substances can be controlled.<br />
The ADR regulates all aspects of the transportation of hazardous goods,<br />
e.g.: - classification of materials and articles<br />
- safe packaging<br />
- means of transportation<br />
- execution of transportation<br />
Apart from the requirements that have to be met by any means of transportation,<br />
special requirements are placed on these means of transport.<br />
One area of these special requirements deals with the electrical equipment<br />
of vehicles. The component identification number issued by the Association<br />
of Technical Inspection Agencies (VdTÜV), TÜ.EGG (Technical Inspection.<br />
Electrical equipment. Hazardous substances) documents compliance<br />
with the requirements on electric cables for application in vehicles used<br />
for the transportation of hazardous substances made by the ADR. The ordinance<br />
on the road transportation of hazardous substances (GGVS) contains<br />
the ADR requirements for the national sector. <strong>LEONI</strong> manufactures<br />
these cables with ADR/GGVS-approval.<br />
The cables are multi-core sheathed cables with different insulating<br />
materials used for cores and sheaths. As a rule, cores are thin-walled insulated<br />
automotive wires and the sheath geometry suits the respective application.<br />
Two new families of electric cables, intended to be used in transportation<br />
units for hazardous substances, have been assessed for<br />
their agreement with the requirements contained in paragraph<br />
9.2.2 ADR and have subsequently been released.<br />
Round cables make up the one group of new cables, while the second<br />
group consists of flat cables. In all cases, cores and sheaths are made of<br />
high-quality PVC materials, which permit thin-walled designs.<br />
All cables with ADR/GGVS-approval manufactured at <strong>LEONI</strong> meet the<br />
requirements for an area of application ranging from –40 °C to + 90 °C.<br />
The scope of types comprises FLRY in a 2- to 15-core design and FLYYF in a<br />
2-core design.<br />
Two new <strong>LEONI</strong> product lines have been assessed for their agreement<br />
with the requirements contained in paragraph 9.2.2 ADR by the TÜV<br />
Southern Germany and have subsequently been released.<br />
One of the product lines consists of FLRYY round cables with a 2- to<br />
15-core design. In all cases, cores and sheaths consist of high-quality PVC<br />
materials, which permit thin-walled designs. The second group consists of<br />
FLYYF 2-core flat cables.<br />
All new cables meet the requirements for an area of application ranging<br />
from –40 ° to + 90 °C.<br />
In addition to these new product lines, <strong>LEONI</strong> has already obtained ADR/<br />
GGVS-approvals for multi-core sheathed cables with thin-walled insulated<br />
PVC-cores and PUR-sheaths. For special requirements, a polypropyleneinsulated<br />
data pair has been integrated in these cables.<br />
