FUNCTIONAL SAFETY
IEC 61508 is the international standard for the functional safety of
electrical, electronic and programmable electronic safety related
systems.
It sets out the requirements for ensuring that systems are designed,
implemented, operated and maintained to provide the required safety
integrity level (SIL). Four SILs are defined according to the risks
involved in the system application, with SIL4 being applied for the
highest risks. The standard specifies a process that can be followed
by all links in the supply chain so that information about the system
can be communicated using common terminology and system
parameters.
Other standards related to the application of the IEC 61508 approach
with specific relevance to particular sectors include IEC 61511
relating to process industries, IEC 61513 relating to nuclear
industries, and IEC62061 relating to the machinery sector.
The results of the tests that CMP has had carried out confirm that its
range of Deluge Protected Cable Glands can be safely specified for
use in deluge conditions, in the sure knowledge that their long term
performance will maintain protection against the ingress of water.
This has been a major factor in the decision making process of a
number of major Clients on key projects in both the offshore and
marine industry as well as other exposed onshore facilities. Cable
Gland products that feature a deluge seal are not only intended for
the offshore oil and gas industry, but are also equally suitable for use
in the Water Treatment industry, or anywhere where the process
equipment may be subject to occasional submersion or flooding.
The specific range of CMP Cable Glands which fully comply with the
Deluge Test specification DTS01 includes, but is not limited to :-
Triton CDS (T3CDS & T3CDSPB family) Armoured Cable Gland
E1* Series Deluge Option (e.g. E1UD, E1FUD family) Armoured
Cable Gland
Protex 2000 (PX2K family) Armoured Compound Barrier Cable
Gland.
Sureseal 2000 (SS2K) Double Seal Unarmoured Cable Gland.
Protex Sureseal 2000 (PXSS2K) Unarmoured Compound Barrier
Cable Gland.
A2F Unarmoured Cable Gland
C2K Armoured Cable Gland
D3K Armoured Cable Gland
Marine Cable Glands for Wet Locations

HEALTH & SAFETY AT WORK
It is important that workers are able to operate and act in a safe
manner, free from harm, and without risk from the environment in
which they work, or the tools and machinery that they may operate.
In the United Kingdom, the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 lays
down the general duties of employers, 'so far as is reasonably
practicable' to protect the health, safety and welfare at work of all
employees. This includes the provision of safe plant and systems of
work, safe methods for the use, handling, storage and transport of
articles and substances, necessary information, instruction, training
and supervision, a safe and well-maintained workplace, including
safe access and egress, and a safe working environment with
adequate welfare facilities.
Duties are placed on employees to take reasonable care of their own
health & safety, and that of anyone who could be adversely affected
by their 'acts or omissions at work' and to co-operate with their
employer in steps to meet legal requirements.
The UK Health and Safety at Work Act also places duties on
designers, manufacturers, importers and suppliers of articles for use
at work, to ensure that items are safe for use and to supply necessary
information about safe use and any testing results.
