From the electrical safety first website (posted in 2010):

Atlas Kablo has listed on its website batch numbers of products known to
be affected at this time by the BASEC suspension and distributors are
urged to inform their customers. They have a 2010 manufacturing date and
are marked with the manufacturers identification `Atlas Kablo.

The suspension by BASEC remains in place and cables affected a

Flat twin, single and 3-core with CPC (BS 6004 Table 8 and IS 201-4
Table 1, 1.0 sqmm €“ 16 sqmm)

Single core unsheathed (BS 6004 Table 4a, 1.5 sqmm €“ 35 sqmm)

Single core sheathed (BS 6004 Table 7, 1.5 sqmm €“ 35 sqmm).


Cables affected by the HAR scheme certification licence suspension have
also been found to have insufficient copper leading to high conductor
resistance. Cables affected are H05VV-F type, PVC insulated and sheathed
in sizes ranging from 0.75 sqmm to 4.00 sqmm and with 2, 3, 4 and 5 cores.
