Northwire's UL Harmonized Electric Vehicle Cable Meets Revised Compliance Requirements
Northwire's UL Harmonized Electric Vehicle Cable Meets Revised Compliance Requirements
While NWI's Next Gen EV cable suite is compatible with commercial and residential charging applications, their
Second Gen EV charging cable will include the same benefits and expand the geographic scope with the UL - cUL cULus listing that indicates compliance with Canadian, USA and Mexican requirements. Northwire's Second Gen EV
cable will also feature a cold temperature impact rating of -40C with superior flexibility.
NWI can assist with the complex navigation of international standards and agency compliance. Here are a couple of
key points to ensure your UL 62 EVE listed cable meets the revised standard:
Did you miss the June 2015 deadline to submit samples to UL?
Is your EV cable jacket custom-colored?
Have you passed the UL 720 hour UV/Sunlight Resistance test standard?
Does your EV cable feature 10 gauge or larger copper?
If you answered 'yes' to more than one of these questions, Northwire's Agency Compliance Engineers and Technicians
will support your recertification requirements to the revised UL - cUL - cULus 62 listing. With limited time available, the
new listing will go into effect March 2016.
"Developed by our R&D Department, Northwire's robust and versatile material is formulated, designed and
manufactured for a wide variety of electric vehicle charging applications," explains Krista Lindquist, Materials and
Manufacturing Engineer with a Bachelor's of Science in Chemical Engineering. "Ideally-suited for harsh environments
characterized by extreme crush and cold temperatures, customers can easily access end-applications in North
American markets with the harmonized standards," emphasizes Lindquist.
Based upon the strong demand for NWI EV cables, Northwire's goal is to ensure that our Second Gen EV charging
cables will be one of the first on the market as soon as the UL listing is granted. Featuring a brittle point of -60C and
superior cold bend and cold impact to -40C and backed by NWI's expertise, product quality and services, the
advanced flexibility of NWI EV cables safeguards that they are built to last and ideally suited for:
