Factory Standards
ARCTOS Industrial Refrigeration AG has its own quality assurance system.
Furthermore, every system that leaves the Sörup factory or is constructed on-site undergoes a CE single inspection according to Directive 2014/68/EU (Pressure Equipment Directive), which is conducted in coordination with TÜV Nord.
The assessment of the conformity of the refrigeration system with the European Directive 2014/34/EU is carried out in close collaboration with the relevant certification bodies.
Additional inspections can certainly be carried out upon request. In the case that your company is located abroad, country-specific inspections can also be performed.
