One of the most common questions we receive concerns the durability of printed cable markings. At Senekis, we answer it with a practical test.
Following the verification method described in IEC 61439-1, the marking is rubbed for 15 seconds with water and then for another 15 seconds with hexane.
To pass the test, the print must show no significant deterioration, while the information displayed must remain clear and easily legible.
