At Methven, we’re confident that our products are second to none. Thousands of hours of research and development and rigorous testing has been completed before we launch any new product or technology.

We’re also very proud to use the following accreditations and approvals for our products;

 

 

TMV BUILDCERT APPROVAL

Thermostatic products are an integral part of the Methven and Deva by Methven ranges. For complete peace of mind they maintain a safe water temperature for users and will cut off if the cold water supply fails.

NSF TMV approval is a third party thermostatic valve accreditation programme that is set up to independently test suitability of product against current legislation. Approval at TMV2 standard means the product complies with BS EN 1111/1287 and indicates suitability for use in the domestic home whilst approval at TMV3 meets NHS D 08 and indicates suitability for commercial installations such as care homes and hospitals.

Methven are proud to offer products in our portfolio which adhere to these standards having undergone the initial rigorous testing procedure and on-going audit requirements. We advocate continuous in-service testing at regular intervals to ensure there has been no temperature change ensuring maximum safety standards.
