The Approved Cables Initiative (ACI) works to highlight the dangers associated with substandard cable product to the cable industry and end users. Where substandard or counterfeit cable is found, the ACI informs industry regulators and legislators (HSE, Trading Standards, MHCLG) so that the public as well as industry can be made aware and protected.
As part of its work the ACI campaigns for change to UK legislation to stop the import of dangerous cable and to increase the penalties for infringements. 
Those with information about a suspect cable should contact the ACI and supply a five-metre cable sample to enable it to be tested. If found to be unsafe, information is supplied to authorities for further action.
The ACI works with supply chain representative bodies including Electric Distributors Association (EDA); Electric Contractors Association (ECA); Electric Safety First; British Cables Association (BCA); Energy Networks Association (ENA); Certsure, SELECT and the Joint Industry Board (JIB). It can also provide advice concerning suspect cable to specifiers, contractors, installers, wholesalers and distributors.
