Professional Kitchen Appliances

Professional users of kitchen appliances are demanding increasing evidence of the quality, safety, healthiness and durability of the products they buy. With profitability, time-to-market and flexible sourcing also being more important than ever, products, for the professional market that are having a gas connection need to be tested by an independent test house (based on EN 17025), certified by a Notified Body and an agreement for product surveillance with a Notified Body.
