Bourdon complies with international norms and approvals

Our excellence in product quality has won us recognition with prestigious certification
from many different regulatory bodies.
3-A Sanitary Standard, Inc.

3-A Sanitary Standard, Inc.

Independent, non-profit company in the US. Representation of the interests of public and state health bodies, machine and food manufacturers. Establishes standards for materials and design for use in the beverage, food and pharmaceutical industries. The assessment of the compliance of a test object is carried out by an inspector on the basis of the design drawing and a visual inspection. If this is positive, 3-A issues a certificate. In addition to the parts coming into contact with the process, the exterior design (case etc.) must comply with certain guidelines, for example, no liquid may remain on flat surfaces.
ATEX directive

ATEX directive

European directive 2014/34/EU: Equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres (replaces 94/9/EC). Compliance is to be examined by a certified body and confirmed with a type examination certificate (e.g. TÜV). Bourdon declares the compliance of appropriate measurement instruments with the directive in the CE Declaration of Conformity.
CE marking

CE marking

Compliance with European directives. By attaching the CE mark, Bourdon declares the relevant product-specific compliance: The directives and any standards applied are to be specified in a “Declaration of Conformity” with the type designation of the device and the manufacturer’s address. With this document, which is to be presented on request, the manufacturer declares compliance on his own responsibility.

EAC

"Goods commercialized in the free trade EEC-area (Eurasian Economic Union - Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia and Kirghizstan) are subject to a system of certification that lies in the development of 66 technical regulation (CU_TR or TR_TC) of the EEC. The EAC (Eurasian Conformity) Marking, proves the conformity of products."
European Regulation 1935/2004/EC

European Regulation 1935/2004/EC

Materials and articles intended to come into contact with food. 10/2011/EU: Plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with food. 2023/2006/EC: Good manufacturing practice. With the “Safety for contact with food” certificate, Bourdon declares its compliance with these regulations. For bought-in parts we require appropriate evidence from our suppliers.
U.S. Food & Drug Administration

U.S. Food & Drug Administration

Supervisory authority in the United States for the protection of humans and animals. In process technology, responsible for the selection of materials. Certain materials such as high-alloy stainless steel and various synthetic materials (e.g. PEEK) are listed for safe medium contact. These are given a specific “CFR” number. Bourdon declares compliance with FDA requirements on its own responsibility with the “Food Regulatory 26 Declaration of Harmlessness”.

FM approved

FM Approvals is an independent global testing and certification agency. The company developed over 200 approval standards illustrating the approval criteria of various types of products and services, among others, FM 2311 for Vacuum and pressure gauges for Fire Protection Systems.
