Regulatory & Certification Standards for Sanitary Valves: 3A, ASME-BPE, FDA, EHEDG
In industries like pharmaceutical, biotechnology, dairy, and food processing, maintaining hygienic integrity is crucial. Every component that comes into contact with the product must comply with strict sanitary design standards — and valves are no exception. Sanitary valves control the flow of liquids and gases, but beyond performance, they must ensure cleanability, safety, and regulatory compliance.
This article explores the key regulatory and certification standards — 3-A, ASME-BPE, FDA, and EHEDG — that define the global benchmarks for sanitary valve design and manufacturing.
