CATU was created in 1919 and, since the beginning, it has dedicated its activity to the
manufacture of material and equipment for electricity networks and installations.
Since 1936, CATU’s activity has been concentrated on equipment for personal protection against
electrical hazards and accordingly, has now 70 years experience in this field.
After the end of World War II, many French companies involved in Production, Transmission and
Distribution of Electrical Energy were amalgamated into one National Company, called "Electricité
de France" (EDF).
A short time later, a central department for Safety and Prevention of Accidents was created within
EDF. Because of the experience that CATU already had in this field, a very close cooperation was
forged between EDF and CATU which resulted in joint development and improvement of all the
important Safety Material and Equipment now used in France.
The international recognition gained by EDF in this field has contributed to giving CATU a foremost
position at the World Wide level.
At the present time, CATU Safety Equipment, including all the range of short-circuiting and earthing
systems, the DETEXTM voltage detectors and testers, the live working tools and the individual
equipment for linesmen, is used by the Main Power Utilities, Electrical Contractors, Large Industries
and Railways in about 100 countries spread over the 5 continents.
CATU’s experience and level of investment and research is unmatched. As a member of the main
national and international technical committees (such as UTE, CENELEC, IEC and ASTM), CATU
is contributing to the development and application of the latest technologies. This quest for
continuous improvement is now reinforced with the ISO 9001 Quality Insurance Certification.
Our endeavours to be the Specialist in Electrical Safety Equipment are made with genuine
dedication to all aspects of Safety Engineering Principles. Together with our network of distributors,
we acknowledge our commitment and obligations to our customers.
CATU is a Group Sicame Company

International Electrotechnical Commission is a
worldwide organization for standardization
comprising national electrotechnical committees
(NC). The object of the IEC is to promote
international cooperation on all questions
concerning standardization in the electrical
fields. These standard have been approved by
more than 50 different countries including
Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany,
Japan, Russia, Malaysia, Singapore, Mexico,
India, Indonesia, South Africa, New Zealand, USA…
A rapid need to perform electrical operations evolved with the time.
This resulted in regional or national working on specific standards
without coordination.
IEC standards were developed according to a consensus
procedure and approved by recognised body. They provide an
adequate answer at worldwide level.
The IEC standard presents benefits to all
parties involved:
- for the end-users: it is the guarantee of a suitable and
internationally recognized quality equipment,
- for the Testing Laboratories: it determines better standards of
testing and control procedures for materials,
- for the manufacturers: it helps them to make a better technico-
commercial offer.
CATU designs, tests and manufactures under the IEC requirements.
CATU is the first manufacturer to provide a full range of products
complying with the IEC standards.
CATU shows its innovation ability for the welfare of the electrical world.
