‹ Terug naar overzicht- May Wieland GST and RST connectors be used in inaccessible areas?
Answer: Yes, Wieland GST18, GST15, RST16 and RST20 and RST25 connectors are maintenance-free. This is stated by Wieland and confirmed by independent certification. They may therefore also be used in inaccessible places.
Rationale:
- NEN1010:2015 526.3 All connections shall be accessible for inspection, testing and maintenance, except: ........... - a connecting structure that is part of equipment compliant with the applicable product standard.
- Technical Committee NEC-64-TC has indicated that the provisions of Section 526.3 of NEN1010:2015 apply to products that do not require maintenance. The product standard should guarantee it, and if it does not, then the manufacturer should guarantee it. In this case, Wieland provides this guarantee.
