Water Ionizer Certifications: What is the ISO Certification of Water Ionizers All About?

On most water ionizer comparison charts you’ll see the term “ISO 9001″ or “ISO 14000″. What this is all about is safety and quality for you, the consumer, the worker, and the world. I’ll explain.

ISO is the icon for the International Organization for Standardization, which is the world’s largest developer and publisher of international standards for manufacturers. It has a presense in 161 countries and is chaired by participants in both the governments of those countries and the industry representatives. The purpose of ISO is to develop and encourage standards to protect consumers, workers and the environment.

What’s the difference between ISO 9001 and ISO 140001?

ISO 9001 refers to a family of standards addressing the quality of management in a water ionizer or any other manufacturing facility. The quality of management affects many things related to the water ionizers you purchase: the quality of the water ionizers match the claims made, enhanced customer satisfaction and continual improvement of the water ionizer design and production.

ISO 14001 refers to the environment. The goal with this certification is to minimize the harmful effects on the environment caused by the production of water ionizers or any product.

Both of these certifications are important to look for in your water ionizer purchase.

All Jupiter/Emco Tech, Tyent and Enagic water ionizers have both of these certifications. Life, KYK and Chanson have the ISO 9001 certification.

Why Should Your Water Ionizer Be UL Certified? And Which Water Ionizers Are?

First of all, why your water ionizer should be UL certified is for the safety of your home, your loved ones and the environment. Underwriters’ Laboratories (UL for short) tests new consumer equipment for the safety of electrical circuitry, environmental safety, etc. They provide us with a valuable service by doing this. UL has developed over a thousand rigorous safety standards.

What you can do as a customer to protect your family and home is look at the UL symbol in advertizements for products you buy that are electrical. Otherwise the item could start a fire in your home if it contained some sort of sub-standard safety hazard.

Here are the water ionizers that have either existing UL certificates or are pending this certification.
