Karachi: Fast Cables has achieved a landmark by becoming the first and only cable manufacturer in Pakistan to be awarded the British Approvals Service for Cables (BASEC) certification. This notable recognition was announced on September 12, 2024, marking a milestone for both the company and the national cable manufacturing industry.
The BASEC certification, granted by the UK-based authority known for its stringent quality standards for cable products and manufacturing processes, was awarded following an exhaustive audit of Fast Cables’ facilities. During the audit, the company showcased its commitment to international standards across all stages of production—from the procurement of raw materials to the delivery of the finished products.
According to information available from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), such certifications are vital as they affirm a company's adherence to international safety and quality norms, significantly enhancing its market credibility.
The comprehensive evaluation by BASEC also included a detailed type test of Fast Cables' products conducted at BASEC's laboratory in the UAE. The successful certification underscores Fast Cables' dedication to innovation and excellence in the cable manufacturing sector. It positions the company not only as a leader in the local market but also as a competitive exporter, potentially tapping into markets in the Middle East, Africa, and the Americas.
This achievement by Fast Cables is expected to bolster Pakistan's economic growth, offering new opportunities for trade and export, and reinforcing the country's manufacturing capabilities on a global scale.
