Certificates and Approvals
This section deals in more depth with both UK and international standards that have particular relavance to our products.
At AxFlow UK, we help customers specify pumps, valves, mixers, homogenisers and heat exchangers that meet the standards required for hygienic, industrial and hazardous-area applications. Our certificates and approvals resource explains the most important UK and international standards used across food and beverage, pharmaceutical, chemical, oil and gas, water treatment and other demanding process industries.
Whether you need ATEX for explosive atmospheres, EHEDG or 3-A for hygienic processing, API standards for oil and gas duties, or FDA and EC 1935/2004 compliance for product-contact materials, this section helps you understand what each approval means and where it applies. It is designed to make pump selection easier, reduce compliance risk and help you identify the right technology for your application.
Key certificates and approvals covered by AxFlow UK
This resource includes guidance on some of the most widely used approvals in the process industry, including:
Hygienic pump approvals
For hygienic and aseptic processes, approvals such as EHEDG, 3-A, FDA and EC 1935/2004 can play a critical role in reducing contamination risk and supporting easier cleaning. AxFlow’s individual certification pages already position EHEDG and 3-A around lower contamination risk and reduced cleaning time, which are exactly the kinds of benefits users search for when specifying hygienic pumps.
Hazardous-area and industrial pump standards
For industrial and hazardous duties, standards such as ATEX, API, ISO 5199, ISO 2858, EN 733 and related approvals help engineers match pump design to the operating environment and application requirements. These standards are especially relevant in chemical processing, oil and gas, utilities, water treatment and other heavy-duty applications where safety, interchangeability and performance expectations matter.
Why certifications matter when selecting pumps
Understanding certificates and approvals helps specifiers, engineers and buyers:
- reduce compliance risk
- select pumps for hygienic, hazardous or regulated environments
- compare technologies more effectively
- support plant safety and product quality
- improve cleanability, maintainability and operational reliability.
