PANAFE'

All the products of the PANAFE'® range comply and are certified
as per current European Community regulations.

The coffee machines, besides the CE mark reported to the various electromagnetic compatibilities,
are marked from further certifications that guarantee the conformity of the product to safety national standard, hygiene, appropriateness of materials / objects in contact with groceries destined to the human consumption,
as PAhS and LFGB (similar to the NSF American normative) and the ETL mark for the American market.

These marks are a guarantee of quality:
they can be issued only from accredited corporations for certifications and safety tests on the products.
Few Italian and European firms can have these recognitions,
difficult to get if an excellent qualitative standard is not reached.

TÜV Rheinland Group:
