What FM Approved Means and Why it Should Be on Your Funnel

by New Pig Technical Team

FM approvals is the independent testing arm of international insurance carrier, FM Global. FM approvals uses scientific research and testing to make sure products conform to the highest standards for safety and property loss prevention. Products that pass get the “FM APPROVED” mark. Think of it as like the Good Housekeeping seal of approval, only better.

Here’s what FM approvals focuses on:

Objectively testing property loss prevention products and services and certifying those that meet rigorous loss prevention standards
Encouraging the development and use of FM approved products and services that improve and advance property loss prevention practices

FM approvals follows these five steps to make sure the products they’re testing meet quality guidelines:

Manufacturer request
Proposal issue and manufacturer authorization
Review, testing and first audit
Report, FM Approved mark and listing
Follow-up audits

PIG Drum Funnels are FM-Approved when equipped with the PIG Flame Arrestor (sold separately).

  Hey there,
  
  We do offer a version of this funnel that is constructed of 316 Stainless Steel, which is an approved food contact surface. We do not, however, have a stainless steel flame arrestor.
  
  Hope this information helps! Please leave another comment if you have any additional questions.
  
  Thanks,
  Brittany
