Standard: EN 61386-22 Conduit systems for cable management – Part 22: Particular requirements – Rigid conduit systems – May include tests for mechanical strength, including resistance to impact.

EN 61386-22 specifies particular requirements for rigid conduit systems used for cable management. Conduit systems are essential for protecting electrical cables from mechanical damage, moisture, and other environmental factors, ensuring the safety and reliability of electrical installations. This part of the standard addresses the specific performance characteristics of rigid conduits. The standard includes tests for the mechanical strength of rigid conduit systems, which typically encompass assessments of their resistance to impact. These impact tests simulate the types of forces that conduits might experience during installation, during the pulling of cables, or from accidental impacts in service. By verifying the conduit’s ability to withstand such impacts without deforming or failing, the standard helps ensure the long-term protection of electrical wiring and the safety of the installation.

Clients Reviews
I have no hesitation in recommending 4Ward Testing Ltd. The service, communication and response have been excellent. I am looking forward to working with them again in the near future.
Arthouse Ltd
The level of service received from the team at 4ward Testing was excellent. We have no hesitation in recommending 4ward Testing and will use again when the need arises.
4ward reacted very quickly, delivered on time and were very communicative during the process, and were efficient in the follow up. We have continued to work with them and expect to do so.
We had a requirement to test a sample of a large stock of face masks, to ensure their suitability for use by those supporting the response to the “COVID pandemic”.  4ward Testing were recommended to us and they delivered their report well within the agreed timescale. I was impressed with their recognition of the urgency this work required and communications with Polly & Anthony were excellent so I would have no hesitation in using their services again, or in recommending them to others!
NHS Services Scotland
As one of the UK’s manufacturers of medical face masks, certification for the quality of our products is imperative. 4ward were extremely diligent and efficient and we look forward to working with their professional testing services in the future.
The testing that 4ward carried out was of a high standard, met deadlines and targets that were necessary and we were kept involved with regular updates as the testing progressed. The support and guidance that 4ward offered to us as an individual company and via their input to BASA was greatly received and helped the industry increase it’s knowledge of what is still a confusing issue. I’m sure that that the issue of CE Marking will continue to evolve and encompass more products, but it is our intention to continue to use 4ward for our CE Marking requirements whether for new product development or where new Harmonized Standards emerge.
