Measures to ensure quality
To ensure the quality of its products and services in terms of consistency, reliability and compliance with performance specifications during every step of the job, Brugg eConnect applies a process of self-checking, process monitoring and overviews using innovative technology and rigorously applying all the elements in its quality system. We also consider it very important to use high-quality raw materials.
Routine check
Every cable undergoes routine testing before it leaves the factory. In the medium voltage range, we also measure factors such as the absence of partial discharge under a high electrical load. Our in-house test requirements are more stringent than the standards in some regards. The following measurements are performed on each individual length of cable and checked for compliance with the standards:
- Insulation resistance (1 kV cables only)
- Geometry
- Conductor resistance
- Voltage testing and measurement of partial discharge
Type testing
All cables undergo special type testing in accordance with the standards. These sometimes quite labour-intensive and long-term tests are performed in our high-voltage laboratory.
Brugg Cables has set up its own testing laboratories for long-term quality assurance testing, development projects and testing during manufacturing in accordance with VDE 027.
Ongoing process reviews make sure we comply with the standards SN EN ISO 9001 and SN EN ISO 14001.

Occupational safety and health policy
Occupational safety, health and quality of life are essential elements of our corporate policy. We promote responsibility for work with a focus on safety among our employees by providing information, motivation and training. In this way, we want to ensure that we meet all relevant occupational safety and health requirements and the provisions required by law.
Occupational safety and health objectives
We have put the appropriate accident-prevention measures in place to achieve a steady reduction in the number of accidents. Our occupational safety measures are also aimed at eliminating accidents caused by hazardous situations on our premises or as a consequence of technical faults in our systems, machines and buildings. We satisfy the requirements in the area of occupational safety and health protection.
Principle
Environmental, occupational safety and quality management are integral elements of all our processes and constitute obligations for all employees. We place particular emphasis on quality assurance measures in activities leading up to the manufacturing phase, particularly in terms of thoroughly grasping the customer’s needs, and ensuring accurate details for product manufacture at the implementation stage. We also consider it very important to use high-quality raw materials.
Checking and actively directing our safety measures ensures the safety of our employees and upholds our responsibility for health and quality of life.
