Cabinet U-handles GN 528 are offered in various plastic versions. Cabinet U-handles of the type PP (Polypropylene) are, however, less viable from a mechanical and thermal viewpoint, but pricewise they are more competitive but are quite adequate for many applications. Cabinet U-handles of the type SV are made of a plastic material type UL 94 V-0 which is self-extinguishing. The classification to UL 94 V-0 (Underwiters Labora-tories) covers the properties and durability against fire. According to their tests a plastic test piece of a defined shape and dimension is set alight in a vertical position whereby the flame on a scale from V–0 has to extinguish itself within 10 seconds without leaving any burning droplets. Cabinet U-handles type ESD are made out of a conductive plastic material which prevents an electrostactical loading. The imprint ESD on the surface of the handle defines the special antistatical properties according to IEC 61340-5-1.
