NEW CERTIFICATIONS FOR 2024

In our continuous pursuit of improvement, ASEPT International AB in Lund, proudly adds two vital certificates.

ISO 9001

Our ISO 9001 certification signifies a commitment to perpetual improvement in quality management. Built on seven foundational principles, it underscores our dedication to customer satisfaction, effective leadership, employee engagement, streamlined processes, continuous improvement, fact-based decision-making and robust relationship management. Beyond validating adherence to a standard, it’s a pledge to consistently deliver excellence and value.

ISO 14001

Emphasizing our commitment to environmental responsibility, we proudly announce our ISO 14001 certification. Aligning with the highest standards of environmental management, this certification integrates an Environmental Management System into our operations. It serves as a powerful tool, facilitating organizational work and providing a robust model for continuous improvement in environmental practices.

Active environmental stewardship offers benefits like reduced resource consumption, efficient energy use, smarter procurement and lower costs for waste management. While ASEPT International AB stands certified under ISO 14001, our journey towards continuous improvement in environmental sustainability remains ongoing. Every step in the right direction contributes to a better and more sustainable future.

NATIONAL SANITATION FOUNDATION (NSF)

When a product or system receives NSF Certification, it means that it has undergone testing, auditing, and certification services by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF). This independent organization reviews the product or system to ensure that it meets specific standards for safety, quality, sustainability, or performance. 

NSF-listed products and components are marked, either by an engraving or label. 

CE MARKING 

Commercial products marked with the CE symbol, indicate that the manufacturer or importer has confirmed that the product complies with European health, safety and environmental protection standards. This marking is mandatory for products where applicable European Union (EU) directives exist. 

For example, our range of touchless dispensers complies with several EU directives, including the machine directive (EC 2006/42/EC), low voltage directive (2014/35/EC) and the EMC-directive (2014/30/EC) and therefore is CE-marked.

UL LISTED 

UL Listed certification is designed to mitigate the risks of fire and electric shock caused by electrical products. In the United States, products generally require certification by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) to ensure that they meet these standards. 

For our touchless dispensers in the US and Canadian markets, the electronics have been tested by UL to ensure compliance with relevant requirements.  

IECEE – CB SCHEME 

The CB Scheme is an international program that ensures electrical and electronic components, equipment and products are safe for use. This is done through mutual recognition of testing between more than 50 participating countries and certification organizations.  

All our electronic touchless dispensers, including Uni-2, Uni-3, AF08, MCC01, and SCH01 models, have obtained a CB certificate. 

FCC 

Did you know about the FCC mark for electronic products made or sold in the United States? This mark is voluntary, but it assures that the device emits electromagnetic radiation within the limits specified by the Federal Communications Commission, and the manufacturer has followed the requirements of the Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity authorization procedures.  

All our electronic touchless dispensers, including Uni-2, Uni-3, AF08, MCC01, and SCH01 models, have obtained an FCC certificate.

ADA 

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal law in the United States, that protects people with disabilities from discrimination in their daily activities. Similar to other civil rights laws, the ADA prohibits discrimination based on disability, just as it does for race, color, sex, national origin, age, and religion. The purpose of the ADA is to ensure that people with disabilities have the same access to employment opportunities, purchase goods, and services and participate in state and local government programs as everyone else.  

In line with this, our dispensers are designed and tested to meet ADA requirements specified in the ADA Standards for Accessible Design. 

FOOD SAFETY 

We take food safety very seriously following regulatory requirements monitored through our food safety management system, which ensures that the products we deliver meet our customers’ high standards. Our food safety management system covers all aspects of the process, from design and material selection to manufacturing and delivery, including incoming goods and warehousing. To ensure the safety of our food contact materials, we only collaborate with accredited laboratories that conduct migration and other food contact-related tests.  

ASEPT International AB, located in Lund, Sweden holds FSSC22000 certification. This globally recognized certification assures that we have a fully audited food safety management system that meets strict requirements for food safety, hygiene and quality management.
