WHO WE ARE PRODUCTS SERVICES THE CABLE LAB VDE Standard Cable Verband der Elektrotechnik, Elektronik und Informationstechnik – more commonly known as VDE – is the Association for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies and their related sciences, technologies and applications. With its headquarters in Frankfurt, Germany, it is one of the largest associations for science and technology in Europe with over 35,000 members. It is tasked with promoting the transfer of technical knowledge, supporting the application of this technology across a wide range of fields and industries, and attesting to the safety and quality of products and components through its testing and certification marking. DIN VDE CABLE STANDARDS Standards developed jointly between VDE and DIN, the German Institute for Standardisation (Deutsches Institut für Normung e.V.), are promoted under the banner of DKE, the German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies.

SELECTION Tested in independent laboratories, VDE certification is a mark of quality and assurance. Within cables, this includes power, fibre optic for communication and fire performance cables including those with halogen-free properties for applications requiring additional protection for essential equipment and human life in the event of fire. Whilst many cables are manufactured in accordance with German DIN-VDE standards they are not all VDE approved as a third-party mark. In the event that you are specifically seeking VDE approval, please speak to a member of the team who will be able to advise on availability.
