What Are the Benefits of CE, CUL, and NSF Certifications for Your Product?
When exporting machines to various countries around the world, they must generally comply with local safety certification standards to ensure the quality and safety of products in circulation. Different countries and regions establish their own certification standards to protect the safety, hygiene, and environment of their citizens, such as the CE certification in the European Union, UL certification in the United States, and others.
Since 2013, Phoenixes has accumulated extensive experience in export trade, successfully providing the necessary product import and export certifications for most countries, including the European Union, the United States, and Canada. Depending on the certification requirements, our machines undergo adjustments in their configurations and components. Below is a brief overview of how Phoenixes' sealing machines and sugar syrup machines differ in components after obtaining CE, CUL, and the latest UL EPH certifications.
CE Certification – Essential for Entering the European Market
Whether produced internally or imported from other countries, electrical products must have CE certification to circulate in the European market. The CE mark is a mandatory certification in the EU, required by European law for products. Consumers in the region are accustomed to choosing products with CE certification.
Sealing machines with CE certification, in addition to standard safety doors and guards, will also have an emergency stop button. Additionally, the CE certification label can be found on the exterior of both the sealing machines and syrup machines.
CUL Certification – Common Certification for the United States and Canada
UL (Underwriters Laboratories) is the most authoritative private organization for safety testing and certification in the United States. The CUL mark is used for products circulating in the Canadian market and indicates that the product meets Canada's safety standards, which are largely the same as those referenced by UL. Thus, CUL certification is equivalent to compliance with both U.S. and Canadian standards.
CUL certification is not mandatory, but many insurance companies require products to have UL certification for coverage.
Phoenixes' small sealing machines with CUL certification use stainless steel gears for film collection, and the CUL certification label can be found on the exterior of both the sealing machines and syrup machines.
UL EPH Certification – Equivalent to NSF Certification Internationally
UL EPH certification is for products evaluated under "Environmental and Public Health Standards," and the EPH mark is awarded to those meeting these criteria. Products that pass this certification standard are equivalent to ANSI/NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) standards internationally, and also meet other food equipment hygiene requirements.
Sealing machines that meet UL EPH standards, like CUL certified machines, use stainless steel gears for film collection. The external screws have been changed from cross-head screws to white iron hexagonal screws to reduce the possibility of dirt accumulation. Syrup machines feature full stainless steel exteriors, and the assembly screws are also changed to white iron hexagonal screws, with a smoother handle style for the lids. The UL EPH certification label can be found on the exterior of both the sealing machines and syrup machines.
Currently, all of our products in the following categories come with CE certification:
Beverage Cup Sealing Machines
Tabletop Box Sealing Machines
Large Automated Sealing Equipment
Syrup and Powder Dispensers
Liquid Quantitative Packaging Machines
The above certifications and the corresponding differences in machine components are commonly used in our export trade.
