Not all welding cable has earned independent safety certification, which can be a bit of a red flag. The best-known welding cable approval organization is UL, LLC. So if the company that manufactures your welding cable is UL-approved, you can trust their products’ quality.
Some other reputable welding cable approval organizations are CSA, the Mine Safety and Health Administration and the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive. The latter two certifying organizations approve standard welding cables, but UL and CSA do not.
Some reliable welding cable manufacturers that provide UL-, CSA-, MSHA- and RoHS-approved welding cables include General Cable, Coleman Cable and Alpha Wire. We proudly carry products from each of these respectable welding cable manufacturers at Wesbell Wire and Cable.
