Flexible cords and cables shall be approved and are suitable for the following:
  • Pendants
  • Fixtures Wiring
  • Portable lamp or appliance connection
  • Elevator cables
  • Wiring of cranes and hoists (where flexibility is necessary)
  • Connection of stationary equipment to facilitate their frequent interchange
  • Prevention of the transmission of noise or vibration. (vibration might fatigue fixed wiring and result in a situation more hazardous than flexible cord.)
  • Appliances where the fastening means and mechanical connections are designed to permit removal for maintenance and repair (e.g. water coolers, exhaust fans)
