BSI Electric Cables Kitemark & BASEC Approved Stockist
Cleveland Cable Company is the first cable supplier to meet the requirements of the BASEC Registered Stockist Scheme. The accreditation applies to all UK and Ireland branches of Cleveland Cable Company, giving you complete peace of mind when ordering cable from us.
We are proud to have received Certificate Number SKT-001 of the BASEC stockist scheme, making us the first cable distributor in the world to be accredited under a BASEC scheme. The BASEC mark is recognised by the worldwide cable industry as the mark of reassured quality.
Cleveland Cable Company regularly undertakes quality assessments of cable in order to verify cable design and electrical properties to ensure they meet their particular required standards. This includes in-house testing of cables held in our own stock.
The BSI Kitemark is only awarded to testing facilities after a long and exhaustive process of cable sampling and verification of documented internal systems.
What the BSI Kitemark Means for Our Customers
The BSI Kitemark is a globally recognised symbol of quality and trust. It is only awarded after a stringent and exhaustive auditing process, where cable sampling, documented procedures, and internal testing systems are reviewed in full by BSI experts.
By achieving this certification, Cleveland Cable Company has proven that our internal cable testing procedures meet the highest recognised industry standards. This allows us to confidently guarantee that the cable our customers receive is fully fit for purpose, compliant, and rigorously verified.
Committed to Quality Through In-House Testing
At Cleveland Cable Company, we strive for continuous improvement across every area of our business. As part of this commitment to excellence, we are proud to announce the opening of our custom-built Testing and Training Centre at our Middlesbrough Head Office, and the achievement of our latest certification: the BSI Kitemark.
This industry-recognised certification was awarded under the scope of:
"Electrical and other cables; The process of batch testing" – Certificate Number: KM712695
Rigorous Testing, Verified Results
Our cable quality checks begin the moment materials arrive at our sites. Each batch undergoes:
- Initial visual inspection
- Sample extraction via our dedicated programme
- In-house testing against cable-specific standards
All testing is conducted at our Middlesbrough facility using calibrated equipment and qualified personnel. Our facilities were independently scrutinised by BASEC for independent testing, whereby samples are collected during their audit.
The result: 100% of the submitted cables passed all inspections, and our lab was formally awarded the BSI Kitemark for internal testing.
Quality You Can Trust – Every Time
Our ability to test cables in-house to BSI Kitemark standards means that every cable we supply can be independently verified for performance and compliance. This reinforces our commitment to providing reliable, quality-assured products that customers can trust on-site.
From design to delivery, our dedicated Quality Assurance team ensures consistency, compliance, and certification at every stage. We do not rely solely on supplier assurances — we test, verify, and certify everything ourselves.
