UL verified: chainflex® receives the highest recognition from a globally respected testing organisation
We give a 4-year guarantee on our cables with a clear conscience, because with over 30 years of experience in our 3,800 m² test laboratory and 700 parallel tests, we can make reliable predictions about the service life of our cables.

In an elaborate certification process, the US institute "Underwriters Laboratories" confirmed the accuracy of the statement "igus® 4-year chainflex® cable guarantee and service life calculator based on 2 billion test cycles per year".
