ROI & Compliance Improvement: Real-World Impact of DNG’s Cone Calorimeter for Materials Leaders

Why Delayed Compliance Threatens Your Competitive Edge

As the Head of Materials at a leading Indian cable and wire manufacturer, you understand that every day lost to testing delays can impact production targets, client trust, and your ability to deliver high-quality, compliant products.
In sectors such as railways, construction, aviation, and heavy engineering, even minor compliance lapses can lead to rejections, recalls, or reputational setbacks.

With EN 45545 and ISO 5660-1 now integral to procurement requirements, materials leaders face mounting pressure to achieve rapid, reliable, and traceable compliance—without compromising throughput or quality.

Where Traditional Testing Fails: The Hidden Cost to Materials Teams

Legacy testing systems are often the bottleneck between material readiness and certification success.
Manual processes and outdated instrumentation not only slow down approvals but also limit data reliability and repeatability.

Common challenges include:

  • Inconsistent Results: Variable readings undermine confidence in material validation and supplier benchmarking.

  • Slow Testing Cycles: Extended certification timelines delay product rollouts and downstream approvals.

  • Integration Gaps: Legacy systems disrupt workflows when connected with modern QA or ERP tools.

  • Maintenance Downtime: Difficult servicing and imported components lead to longer idle periods and higher costs.

For materials departments managing multiple product lines, these inefficiencies directly affect KPIs like first-pass compliance rates, audit performance, and time-to-market.
