GENERAL TECHNICAL DATA PVCu is used for the production of extrusions and mouldings and is universally accepted Electrical as having the most suitable properties for use within the electrical industry. Standards and Approvals All Gilflex PVCu products are manufactured in accordance with the requirements of BS
4678: Part 4 and BS 4662. The PVCu material used has been tested by an approved
laboratory in accordance with the requirements of the following British Standards: BS4607: Part 1, BS 6099-2-2, BS 476: Part 7. Copies of test certificates are available upon
