Three-D Agencies stands as a beacon of excellence in the electrical trade, with an unwavering dedication to excellence. As such, Himel’s range of insulation tapes is an essential for any electrical worker, says Mark Jenkins, Three-D Agencies’ Sales Director. “Himel insulation tapes are a cut above the rest, crafted with precision, and able to offer unmatched insulating properties. They represent a commitment to achievement by Three-D Agencies and Himel.”
The insulation tapes are suitable for every project, from residential wiring all the way up to large-scale industrial setups. “These tapes provide a reliable and enduring connection,” explains Jenkins. “They are engineered for maximum protection, and form a robust barrier against electrical currents, enhancing the longevity and safety of your installations.”
The range of PVC tapes are also flame retardant and decrease the risk of electrical and fire mishaps. “The tapes are manufactured from materials that protect users in the event of a fire hazard. It is also suitable for binding, and colour coding, while the high temperature and voltage resistance make Himel tape an effective solution for protecting electrical wires and ensuring safety in electrical work,” adds the distributor’s sales director.
The Electrical Conformance Board of South Africa (ECB) is at the forefront of promoting electrical safety, and it works closely with the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) to regulate the industry through standardisation. Their joint efforts are aimed at providing guidance, promoting compliance with standards, and offering resources. Key among these resources is an extensive online directory of certified electrical professionals and contractors, as well as easily accessible electrical Certificates of Compliance (CoCs) that are crucial for upholding accountability and safety within the electrical sector.
Electrical installations are required to meet the SANS 10142-1 standard, which details the specifications for wiring in buildings to ensure safety and efficient operation of electrical systems. This standard aligns with international safety and quality benchmarks, setting a high bar for electrical practices. “Through testing protocols, Himel insulation tapes are unmatched in aiding adherence to these rigorous standards,” says Jenkins.
The Occupational Health & Safety Act also prescribes specific regulations for electrical installations, underscoring the importance of adhering to safety standards in all electrical work. This includes using the right materials and methods, such as the application of quality insulation tape. Consequently, selecting insulation tape that conforms to these standards is vital for complying with South African laws and guaranteeing the safety and dependability of electrical installations,” concludes the executive.
