AN HISTORY OF STRUGGLE AND SUCCESS. A PROMISING FUTURE.
Opportunities and challenges are a part of the history of our company and of our collective memory. The ever fast and deep changes in the markets are demanding an evolution in the strategies that lead the Company to success.
AWARDS
Cifial has already achieved the main design awards in the world and is, probably, the Portuguese company with more design awards in its history. The Techno 465 tap is the Portuguese product with most awards.
OUR VALUES
INNOVATION, TECHNOLOGY and DESIGN
We grew believing in these values and they are clearly reflected in our products. Our successes led us to other continents, to more demanding and sophisticated markets, but we never forgot our roots and our reason for being. The values of today are the same as those of our past and they constitute the basis of our identity. Our values set us apart.
QUALITY
Cifial is a Certified Company ISO 9001. Certification is made by an External Body: APCER which is recognized by IQNET (The international Certification Network).
Ceramics use a CE Mark (Internal verification of conformity according European Standards) The CE marking (also known as CE mark) is a mandatory conformance mark on many products placed on the single market in the European Economic Area (EEA). The CE marking certifies that a product has met EU consumer safety, health or environmental requirements. Originally "CE" stood for ("Communauté Européenne". According to the European Commission today the CE logo has become a symbol for free marketability of industrial goods within the EEA without any literal meaning. By affixing the CE marking to a product, the manufacturer – on his sole responsibility – declares that it meets EU safety, health and environmental requirements. Mixers do not have European Certification (CE Mark) as it is not mandatory. Nevertheless Mixers are according European applicable standards: EN 200 - Single taps and combination taps, EN 816 - Automatic shut-off valves PN10, EN 817 - Mechanical Mixers, NP EN 1111 - Thermostatic mixing valves.
