CERTIFICATION AND COMPLIANCE
Hydra Cell pumps are recognised as compliant with the requirements of various national and international certification organisations, including those listed below.
DNV
Wanner International supplies marine pumps certified by Det Norske Veritas (DNV) an independent maritime Classification Society. The Product Certificates outline intended service; pump rating (in terms of flow and pressure) and service restrictions while specifying the intended destination vessel.
DNV certificated pumps from Wanner are used for a variety of marine applications including pumping and metering light, low sulphur fuels, RFOs (residual fuel oils) seawater, ballast treatments and FGD treatment chemicals.
DNV certificated Hydra-Cell diaphragm pumps overcome the problems associated with pumping the light viscosity, low sulphur fuels (as dictated for use in Sulphur Emission Control Areas [SECAs]). Gear pumps and screw pumps lose efficiency when pumping light viscosity liquids and all pumps with dynamic seals have the potential to permit vapour escape or fuel leaks.
CE MARKING
The CE mark identifies compliance of Hydra-Cell pumps with the European Union's health, safety and environmental legislation, including the Safety of Machinery Directive 98/37/EC, one of a series of mandatory standards being adopted by EU member countries.
Having demonstrated compliance with the 'Essential Health and Safety Requirements' (EHSR) Wanner is allowed to self certificate and place the CE marking on Hydra-Cell pumps.
ISO 9001:2008
ISO 9001 is an independent continuing assessment of an organisation’s arrangements for Quality Management. It covers all aspects of administration including the systems in place for purchase and supply, handling enquiries and orders, internal and external communication, maintenance of records and the creation and handling of documents. It also covers the arrangements made for the continual review and improvement of its QM systems.
The administration systems of Wanner International Ltd in connection with pumps and associated products have been assessed and approved by the independent body QAS International to the standards laid down under ISO 9001:2008 (the latest version of ISO 9001).
ATEX
ATEX is the name commonly given to the legal requirements for controlling explosive atmospheres and the suitability of equipment and protective systems used in them.
Wanner offers a full line of ATEX compliant pumps for installations above ground, where an explosive atmosphere is likely to occur.
Hydra-Cell ATEX pumps are classified in Group II, Category 2 (Zone I) for both gases and dust. Temperature classification is T4 135°C, permitting a maximum process temperature of 90°C. Contact Wanner International on +44 (0) 1252 816847 for further details about ATEX compliant pumps
GOST R and RTN
Gosstandardt is the Russian Committee for Standardisation, Metrology and Certification, assuring compliance with existing safety, technical and quality standards GOST R Certificates of Conformity are required for virtually all products brought into the Russian Federation. GOST R Certification and use of the relevant certification mark has been granted to Wanner International Ltd in respect of Hydra-Cell pumps.
In the Russian Federation, in environments where there is potential hazard, certain types of product also require an RTN Certificate. It certifies that the product meets Russian standards and norms and permits its use. Hydra-Cell pumps are certificated by the controlling body - the Federal Service of the Techological Inspectorate of Russia (Gosgortechnadzor) – authorising their use in the oil and gas industries.
