ANYANG / QUALITY ASSURANCE
Silicone Cable Quality Control & Testing
From incoming material to finished cable.
Silicone cable testing at ANYANG runs in three stages: incoming materials, in-process construction checks and finished-cable inspection, each with its own record. The checks follow your cable specification, and we can discuss which records you need.

THREE STAGES OF INSPECTION
Quality Checks Along the Production Process
Our inspection procedure covers incoming materials, work in progress and finished cable. The inspection requirements follow the cable specification.
02 / INSPECTION
In-process inspection
Confirm the first piece, then check the construction during production and after relevant process changes.
- Check
- Core, sheath and construction checks
- Record
- First-piece and process records
03 / INSPECTION
Finished cable
Inspect the completed cable against the inspection requirements and record the result before release.
- Check
- Agreed finished-cable requirements
- Record
- Finished-product inspection report
A CLOSER LOOK AT THE CABLE
Silicone cable inspection stages
Inspection points change with the production stage. A single-core wire does not need every check used for a screened multicore cable.
See the manufacturing routes ↗- Conductor
- Copper condition, individual wire diameter, strand count and lay.
- Insulated core
- Material, colour, dimensions, surface condition and conductor arrangement.
- Core assembly & screen
- Core sequence, cabling lay and specified braid construction, where applicable.
- Outer sheath
- Material, diameter, thickness, colour, surface condition and marking.
- Winding & identification
- Continuity, core identification, cable marking and pack identification.
TESTING FOR THE REQUIREMENT
Silicone Cable Testing Capabilities
Routine inspection and application-specific testing have different roles. Explore the equipment and conditions relevant to your specification.
CONDUCTOR & INSULATION
Electrical tests
Electrical checks include conductor resistance, continuity and voltage withstand, using the specified limits and test conditions.
- Conductor resistance
- Compare the measured conductor resistance with the specified limit.
- Continuity
- Check the electrical connection through the cable.
- Voltage withstand
- Evaluate insulation under the agreed test voltage and duration.

HEAT & COLD
Material & ageing tests
Thermal ageing and low-temperature winding evaluate different behaviours. The exposure conditions and acceptance criteria belong to the selected test plan.
- Thermal ageing
- Expose the sample to a defined temperature and duration, then assess the specified properties.
- Low-temperature winding
- Assess the sample after cold conditioning and winding under the chosen method.

BENDING & TORSION
Bending & torsion tests
The laboratory equipment includes repeated-bending and torsion machines. A motion requirement needs a suitable cable design and a defined test setup.
- Repeated bending
- Test conditions include bend radius, travel, speed, load and cycle count.
- Torsion
- Test conditions include twist angle, active length, load and movement rate.

CONTROLLED FLAME EXPOSURE
Flame tests
A controlled flame test uses a specified method, sample arrangement and acceptance criteria. The required classification must be agreed for the exact cable.
- Test method
- Identify the applicable method and the required result before testing.
- Sample & assessment
- Define sample orientation, flame application and the observations to record.

MEASUREMENT & FOLLOW-THROUGH
Instrument control & nonconforming product
Our quality procedure covers instrument status, nonconforming material and follow-up inspection.
Instrument control
Instrument identification, calibration status and suitability are checked for the measurement. Equipment outside its valid status is taken out of use for review.
Identify & isolate
Nonconforming material or cable is identified and segregated for review. The cause and agreed disposition are recorded.
Re-inspect after correction
Reworked or remade product is inspected again. Any exceptional release requires the agreed approval and supporting records.
INFORMATION FOR YOUR QUALITY TEAM
Quality records and test reports
Tell us the cable, drawing revision and purpose of your document request. Report scope and availability are reviewed for the selected product.
Product specification
The construction, dimensions and agreed performance requirements used to assess the cable.
Inspection record
The relevant incoming, process or finished-product inspection information for your request.
Test report
The identified sample, test method, conditions and result for the required performance assessment.
Before You Request a Test
Does every silicone cable undergo every laboratory test?
No. Inspection and test requirements are selected for the cable specification, the intended application and the agreed plan. A motion test is not a universal requirement for all silicone wire.
What should I include with a testing request?
Provide the cable reference or drawing revision, the standard or test method, operating conditions and acceptance criteria. For motion tests, include the movement, bend radius or twist angle, load and cycle requirement.
What if a required test is outside the in-house capability?
Our procedure provides for review and approved testing by an external capable organisation. Confirm the method, scope and arrangements with the team before including it in your order.
