The Importance of ECOLAB® Certified Cables & Glands

ECOLAB® Certification – Ensuring Hygienic Reliability in Food Processing

In food and beverage production, hygiene is non-negotiable. Cleaning and disinfection processes expose equipment, cables, plugs, and conduit glands to aggressive chemicals, and only components built to withstand these conditions can ensure safe, uninterrupted operations.

What is ECOLAB®?

ECOLAB® is a global leader in industrial cleaning and hygiene solutions. Beyond providing a full range of cleaning agents and disinfectants for food processing equipment, ECOLAB® sets rigorous standards for hygiene-critical industries. Their testing services allow manufacturers to certify that products can endure demanding cleaning processes.

ECOLAB® Certification for LAPP Cables and Conduit Glands

An ECOLAB® certificate confirms that a product is resistant to the harsh chemicals used in food processing cleaning routines. LAPP offers cables, conduit glands, and protective conduits with ECOLAB® certification, ensuring they can withstand chemical cleaning agents without degrading or contaminating production materials. Testing follows the ECOLAB® F&E/P3-E no. 40-1 standard, where products are exposed to six different cleaning and disinfection solutions—ranging from alkaline and acidic cleaners to neutral disinfectants and deionized water—for 28 days each. Products are monitored for physical changes, defects, and chemical interactions, ensuring long-term durability.

Testing and Certification Process

LAPP carry out the ECOLAB® tests at their special designated laboratory in Stuttgart. The test for the ECOLAB® certificate is accurately recorded and documented. They then submit the documentation and the tested sample of the test analysis to ECOLAB®. If all criteria are met, ECOLAB® then issues the ECOLAB® certification based on the submitted data.

Why It Matters

Using ECOLAB®-certified components prevents corrosion, insulation swelling, or material degradation that could compromise functionality, production continuity, or consumer safety. In hygiene-critical environments, reliable, chemically resistant cables and conduit glands are essential to avoid costly downtime and safeguard both employees and end-users.
