Liko first with certified patient lifts

Liko first with certified patient lifts As of May, Liko's mobile lifts Golvo and Uno have been the first two patient lifts on the market to be accredited according to the new NF certification system. NF is the largest certification system for products in France, and Liko is the first manufacturer to receive accreditation for its products according to the standards for patient lifts. The patient lifts are thoroughly tested to ensure that there is no risk of personal injury to users of the equipment. A number of features are tested to ensure that the lifts comply with various criteria concerning mechanical and electrical safety, electromagnetic radiation, sound levels and ergonomic design. NF certification guarantees: · that the efficiency of the product has been proven on the European market; · that the product guarantees optimal safety in terms of the three main functions: lifting, transferring and moving patients; · that the patient lift has back-up safety features; · that the product has been designed according to state-of-the- art technology in the field; · that the lift is correctly priced directly; · that the product maintains high, uniform quality.
