Tight controls over every aspect of the production process are the secret behind the reliability of the vertical centrifugal pump CR. Grundfos production is certified in accordance with the strictest international standards (ISO 9001) and is subjected to rigorous process control. Each CR pump is tested for performance, power consumption and static pressure before leaving the factory.

A number of ATEX-approved CRN pumps are available, according to the locality, hazard and likelihood of a dangerous situation occurring. ATEX-approved pumps are for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. Explosive atmospheres consist of air and combustible matter such as gases, vapours, mist or dusts in which the explosion spreads after ignition.
