BIS Cable Trunking and Ducting Systems for Electrical Installations IS 14927: Part 2: 2001

Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has introduced a new standard for Cable Trunking and Ducting Systems for Electrical Installations : Cable Trunking and Ducting Systems Intended for Mounting on Walls or Ceiling. These systems are important for accommodating and separating conductors, cables or cords with other electrical equipment when needed. They can be affixed directly to walls or ceilings, mounted either flush, semi-flush, or indirectly, ensuring versatile installation options. BIS certification is mandatory for these systems, as outlined in the BIS IS standard: IS 14927 (Part 2): 2001.

Cable trunking and ducting systems play an essential role in electrical installations by providing organized and protected pathways for managing cables and components. Trunking typically employs enclosed channels made of materials such as PVC or metal to protect and conceal cables, thus reducing damage and minimizing electrical hazards. Similarly, ducting systems consist of organized networks of channels or trays guiding and shielding wires within various infrastructures.

Designed to manage, protect and guide electrical cables, these systems provide structured solutions for routing and shielding wires in a variety of settings. Whether in residential, commercial, or industrial environments, they contribute to safety, efficiency, and organization. Their versatility allows safe installation on both walls and ceilings, adapting to specific environmental requirements.
