Powering the Future: Advanced Cable testing, Inspection and Certification Solutions

The  global demand for electricity is rapidly increasing, driven by  grid modernization, the transition from  overhead lines to underground cables, and the construction of Data Centers and Renewable Power Plants.As a result, the need for advanced cable systems is growing. 

At KEMA Labs, we conduct type tests to verify the design of low-, medium-, and high-voltage (LV, MV and HV) cables and their accessories.Type testing ensure  that your cables and cable accessories meet the highest quality standards and  deliver long-term and reliable service . To demonstrate their reliability  for long-term use, we also perform prequalification testing of HV cable systems.

As a globally recognized independent testing authority, KEMA Labs offers   a wide range of testing services for land, submarine AC and HVDC cables and accessories.

Thanks to our unique testing facilities, we can accommodate  any voltage level (up to 500kV and over) and short circuit current level.
