ELTRACE and its Normandy-based WORLDTRACE manufacturing plant obtain QB 58 certification: a guarantee of quality for heating cables
Eltrace is proud to announce that its WORLDTRACE production plant located in Normandy, a manufacturer of self-regulating heating cables, has obtained QB 58 certification. This official recognition attests to the thermal performance and manufacturing quality of WORLDTRACE products. Issued by the CSTB (Scientific and Technical Center for Building), this certification represents a major step forward for players in the electric trace heating market.
QB 58 certification: a new standard for quality
Since 2024, the CSTB has implemented a specific standard, QB 58, to certify the performance of heating cables. This certification meets a strong demand in the sector, as heating cables are now classified as traditional heating cables and can no longer benefit from a Technical Assessment.
The QB 58 label guarantees that certified products meet a set of requirements defined by current European standards and offer additional performance with high added value.
Why choose QB 58 certified products?
QB 58 certification provides significant benefits for all stakeholders in the industry:
- As a Manufacturer: the certification highlights the quality of our products and manufacturing processes through rigorous controls of our production unit and tests conducted by an independent laboratory.
- For our Distributors: the certification provides us with a guarantee of quality to offer your customers reliable and high-performance technical solutions.
- For Installers: they ensure the use of products that comply with industry standards, guaranteeing the reliability of installations.
- For Specifiers: they can recommend products that comply with current regulatory requirements and the Unified Technical Documents (DTU).
- For end users: they benefit from equipment tested and inspected for its reliability and durability.
QB 58 Certification Requirements
The QB 58 standard covers self-regulating and non-self-regulating heating cables intended for heating applications in water supply and drainage pipes in buildings.
The certified characteristics include:
- Thermal performance of parallel heat-tracing resistors
Insulation resistance - Power curves
- Continuous monitoring to ensure compliance
To ensure compliance with the certification requirements, rigorous monitoring is implemented:
- Production audits: conducted annually at manufacturing sites.
- Laboratory tests: conducted annually by an independent and competent organization.
The frequency of these inspections can be adjusted based on the results obtained and compliance with the quality criteria defined in the QB 58 standard.
A strong commitment to quality from WORLDTRACE and ELTRACE
By obtaining this certification, ELTRACE and its WORLDTRACE production plant reaffirm their commitment to the quality and performance of their electrical heat tracing solutions. ELTRACE provides its customers with certified products that comply with the most demanding standards.
This recognition is an additional guarantee for our partners and customers who want to rely on reliable and high-performance products.

ELTRACE is a family-owned company founded in May 1993, the culmination of 30 years in the marketing and expertise of freeze protection and fluid temperature maintenance systems in buildings and industries.
At that time, orders amounted to nearly 50 kilometers in the first years. With this development, in 1995, ELTRACE, in partnership with a Swiss partner, developed an ultra-fast connector for self-regulating heating cables, the DOMOCLICK™, the fastest connector on the market.
To meet a growing demand for turnkey solutions, ELTRACE created its Installation department. Among its first contracts, it won the installation of over 10 kilometers of cables for the Renault TechnoCentre. These cables are still fully operational today.
In 1998, ELTRACE developed an ultra-thin heating cable, a concentrate of nanotechnologies suitable for both the industrial and building markets. From the 2000s, ELTRACE continued its commercial development in export markets and became a key player internationally.
A Diversified Offering
In 2011, ELTRACE launched its new range of ready-to-use products, the AQUACABLE™ cables for freeze protection of pipes, with a micro thermostat, plug to power outlet, and perfectly watertight cold connection, as well as its equivalent, the GUTTACABLE™ for gutter protection.
With its successes, ELTRACE expanded its offerings to include heating cables for outdoor floors, including a cable designed for lawn heating. The first football stadium, Abbé Deschamps of AJ Auxerre, was equipped with it, followed by other renowned stadiums such as Stade de France, LOSC, Lyon, Le Havre, etc...
In addition to its comprehensive solutions for outdoor heating, ELTRACE entered the residential market. To meet French regulations following the Grenelle environmental agreements, ELTRACE developed a system that combines ecology and electric heating, all compatible with the new thermal regulations.
