The test was witnessed and certified by ASTA BEAB, the UK's leading independent body for electrical testing and product safety approval.
The procedure consists of electrical baseline testing (continuity/resistance, insulation resistance, Hi-pot, etc.), followed by impact testing (see below), post impact test functional verification (underwater for 3 hours), thermal cycling in air (63 cycles), thermal cycling in water (63 cycles), post thermal cycling functional verification testing and final examination.
The impact test was performed by placing the LLFA ® joint on a concrete slab and impacting it in the middle and on both ends with a 4kg wedge shaped steel block. The impacting edge of the wedge was dropped from a height of 1 meter onto the joint, so that the impacting edge was parallel and at right angles to the axis of the joint. After the impact test, the LLFA ® joint was immersed at ambient temperature with a meter's head of water. It remained in the water for three (3) hours after which the insulation resistance was tested and the result showed no change!

LLFA rivals both resin and heat shrink jointing solutions!
The test was performed in the United Kingdom by ERA technology in accordance with British Standard BS EN 50393:2006, which exceeds the requirements of the equivalent IEC standard!
The scope of tests covered cables ranging from 1.5mm² through to 300mm².
