In an age when we all have to consider the environmental implications of how we travel, what we buy and the products we use, PMA are removing the headache for engineers and planners by certifying their range as entirely safe to use and eco-friendly.
Under the EU REACH (Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of CHemicals) directive, PMA confirms that none of its products are required to be registered. With all the cable protection manufacturer’s ranges certified as asbestos free and entirely without trace of a hazardous substance, PMA’s products are some of the safest and most durable on the market.

The company knows, however, that in many cases where materials contain no contaminants or toxicity, products are often still manufactured using processes which can cause a negative impact to the environment. Not the case here, though, as a good deal of consideration has been taken over the development of each of the company’s systems and components so as not to detract from their eco ethos.
In layman’s terms, PMA makes sure that all legal requirements are fulfilled, and the raw materials used in the injection moulding and extrusion processes are completely ecologically harmless.
And the proof in the pudding lies in the company’s Environmental Management System (according to ISO 14001) which has been implemented and is maintained as part of PMA’s Integrated Management System. This complements the continuous monitoring of environmental issues with an aim to consistently negate the impact of their activities, products and services.*
What does all this mean for customers, designers, engineers and fitters? That they can work with easily installed, safe and strong products which also have a conscience. That should not only help everyone sleep a little sounder at night, it also ticks some of those increasingly important boxes on the paperwork. After all, we all need to be doing our bit now – and PMA makes that even easier.

*Although the cable protection manufacturer has not sought independent certification of this module to date, the company readily invites its customers to audit their processes and efforts regarding quality, environmental and operational safety.
