CE registration certificates

The flow meters specified in the download area are registered by the DVGW (German Association for Gas and Water Applications) in conformity with the EU Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 2014/68/EU.

These EU registration certificates certify compliance with valid safety regulations and allow our flow meters to bear the appropriate CE mark. The EU type examination certificate (CE marking) indicates that the applicable safety regulations are observed. In this connection, Kirchner und Tochter carries out the required pressure test as a function of the nominal pressure of the device.

Within the framework of an annual audit, internal production control with monitoring of acceptance is inspected as defined in the PED. The advantages of certification to you, the customer, are that the devices bear the marking from monitored production processes and the crucial standards in regard to safety, hygiene and serviceability are confirmed.
