EHEDG certified Hygienic Pumps

To gain EHEDG certification, Blagdon's hygienic pump range was required to pass a stringent 'cleanability' test.

This test was performed by an independent food research association. Conforming to the test procedure of the European Hygienic Equipment Design Group Test Methods Subgroup.

The tests showed that Blagdon's Hygienic pump range has the ability to process foodstuffs in a totally hygienic manner.

This confirms that every customer who purchases a Blagdon Hygienic pump knows that they can rely on it to work at the highest levels of cleanliness.

The EC ATEX directive 94/9/EC

The ATEX directive (also known as ATEX 100a) is applicable on products used in explosion hazardous zones. This directive also covers non electrical products, like our diaphragm pumps. From July 2003, it is mandatory within the EU to have ATEX certificate on products which are intended for use in EX-zones. There are three main categories (zones) in the ATEX directive:

CAT 1 (zone 0), flammable material present continuously or for long periods
CAT 2 (zone 1), flammable material present occasionally in normal operation
CAT 3 (zone 2), flammable material present in abnormal conditions for short periods
