Quality Certifications
Quality Systems (ISO, AS9100)
Environmental (RoHS, Reach)
- RoHS refers to the Restriction of Hazardous Substances. The European Union (EU) instituted RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC, which banned six substances (Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, Hexacalent Chromium, Polybrominated Biphenysis, and Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers) from being used in the manufacturing process. The goal of this directive is to protect the environment and reduce exposure related health risks.
- Since it's inception, Allied has strived to eliminate these banned substances from our products. Today, over 90% of our products are RoHS Compliant. If you need certification that a product is RoHS compliant, we can provide you with any certification you may need.
- REACH stands for “Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemical substances,” and is a European Union directive to remove harmful substances from manufactured products. Currently, there are 161 substances found on the Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) list.
- In order to process any request regarding ROHS, REACH, conflict materials or any other certification we will need additional information in order to process your request. Since product specifications constantly change, we can only send certifications of compliance for products sold to you by us and on a per-order basis.
Manufacturer Certifications
- If you are looking for a manufacturer C of C, test reports, or any other manufacturer document, please be aware that we can only send you documentation for products sold to you by Allied Wire & Cable. If this product was not sold to you by Allied Wire & Cable, we cannot provide documentation.
- If you have bought this material from us in the past, please reference your purchase order number, sales order number or allied account number when requesting a cert.
- If you have not bought from us before, we will not be able to provide you with a manufacturer certification unless you buy from us. Submit your quote request and ask for a C of C cert with your order and we will provide one.
Conflict Materials
- Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act defines and regulates “conflict minerals.” Conflict minerals—tantalum, tungsten, tin and gold—originate from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Their revenue directly or indirectly benefits armed groups responsible for war and human rights violations in the DRC and adjoining countries. Growing international awareness of the human rights crisis in the DRC region has brought about legislative measures which affect members of the wire and cable industry.
- Our industry is impacted because these materials, such as tin, are widely used in many wire and cable products. The Dodd-Frank Act doesn’t prohibit the use of conflict minerals, but rather demands transparency in the supply chain. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission requires publicly traded manufacturers to release reports disclosing the sources of the materials in question.
- As a privately held company whose main business is distribution, the SEC legislation doesn’t directly affect Allied Wire and Cable. However, if your company requires information regarding conflict minerals compliance, we will be happy to reach out to our manufacturers.
- To request information, please email your individual sales representative or Info.

- You will receive a third email at when your order is ready to ship. This email will include your tracking number. (Please note that tracking numbers may take up to 24 hours to become active on the carrier websites.)
- At times, stock may be sold, which could cause minimums to change. Should item(s) need to be placed on backorder, or any changes be made, a member of our ecommerce team will contact you for approval.
