Health and Safety in AVK products
Specialised products for safe use across demanding applications
AVK is dedicated to offering its customers the highest safety possible. Our products are part of complex systems handling vital processes every day. For example, distribution of tap water and products for food industries, healthcare etc. We have a strict, consistent approach to product development, testing and approval to make sure that our products are up to the challenge. Within careful control, AVK products fulfil or exceed all international standards and approvals, and all new products undergo many tests and quality control procedures, including computer simulation, prototype tests, accelerated lifetime tests, destructive tests and practical field tests.
Product coating
First of all important in order to maintain the high quality and functionality of the product is a strong, protective layer of coating. Furthermore, an AVK product should have no impact on the resources in direct contact with it, i.e. clean drinking water.
Own rubber production
AVK GUMMI A/S develops and produces all the rubber components used in our gate valves. The high-quality rubber is resistant to all types of chemicals used in water supply systems. All rubber components used in AVK products are tested according to national and international standards. The production processes undergo regular testing. And all primary rubber components are marked and identifiable, enabling their full traceability.
AVK is certified according to the international Occupational Health and Safety Standard (OHSAS 18001).
