Hi Paul, For wire: CSA/UR Source: type of wire, gauge, rated voltage, max temperature, flammability rating, For shrinkable tubing: CSA/UR Source: material, rated voltage, flammability rating, max temperature, thickness
You should get also a Declaration of Conformity from the cable harnesses' vendor that states all lot complies with your specs and you perform a follow-up procedure for part traceability on-site. The DoC has a spec sheet attached to it indicating manuf name, part number, date of manuf., manuf. names or UL/E # and CSA/LR # for wiring and sleeving, especially when wiring/sleeving source is changed. All lot or the package must be labeled with outside vendor' s name, part/code number, date of manufacturing, rev, stamped "verified/inspected by QC", easy to trace by your QC dept. and inspect by your product NRTL's auditor. These thoughts reflect my opinion only, I' m willing to get other people' opinions into this problem.
