Certification Markings
There are many marks used on equipment manufactured
and distributed by Garland. Below is a summary of what the
marks are and where they are used.
Sanitation Mark
EPH
All equipment sold in the USA requires a mark to show that
is complies with ANSI/NSF Standards 2 & 4. These standards
concern material and their suitability for food contact, food
hygiene and minimum safe operating temperatures, and
construction prohibiting gaps where bacteria can grow or
vermin can inhabit. Garland predominantly uses NSF for
certification to these ANSI/NSF 2 & 4 standards and apply the
NSF mark to the equipment. This mark is either found on the
rating plate or as a separate blue sticker on the front of the
unit.
UL is now offering their own sanitation mark as shown in
the two examples above. Products displaying these marks
are tested to the same NSF standards. At this time the UL
sanitation marks are not as well recognized as the NSF and
we will continue to use the NSF mark for now.
Although a sanitation mark is not required in Canada, there
are certain areas where the Canadian Food Inspection
Agency (CFIA) may have a requirement. Typically they get
involved with equipment sold to meat processing plants. In
this case, CIFA will accept proof of NSF listing.
Electric Cooking Equipment
CSA– There are many marks for electric cooking equipment.
Most of the equipment produced at GCR bears the CSA C/US
mark. The CSA mark is for Canada only. These marks indicate
that all testing was
performed / witnessed by CSA and has been tested to the
appropriate CSA and UL Standards
ETL – Some of our distributed electrical equipment, such
as induction units bear the ETL mark. The ETL mark used is
typically the ETL C/US mark, with the C and US at the 8 and 4
o’clock positions similar to the CSA mark. This mark indicates
that all testing was
performed / witnessed by Interek Testing Services and has
been tested to appropriate CSA and UL Standards.
UL– Equipment manufactured at GCI bears the UL,
C
UL
marks for the USA and Canada respectively, we can also
consolidate these marks into one mark UL C/US LISTED
mark. These marks indicate that all testing was performed /
witnessed by Underwriters Laboratories and has been tested
to the appropriate CSA and UL standards.
