MESC has developed Special Testing Facilities within its premises

Middle East Specialized Cables Company (MESC) has developed special test facilities for Flame Retardant & Smoke Propagation/ Light Transmission Test within its premises.

We have invested in new technologies for a combination of various products and services, thereby understanding the need for more testing facilities for cables different than those used in traditional cable technology. It is more than just a product problem; it a serious health and safety issues.

Middle East Specialized Cables (MESC) has developed special testing facilities for Fame Retardant and Smoke Propagation/ Light transmission tests, Fire Resistance, and Acid Gas Emission within its premises. This is an addition to the existing full fledged routine and acceptance test facilities in line with international standard specifications. Such a facility will enable Middle East Specialized Cables (MESC) to further strengthen its quality control measures related to the raw material suppliers as well as in house verification of compliance of finished cables to special tests.
