In designing and manufacturing the various Series of the manufacturer's Fans and Extractors, Hazard Elimination has been
taken into account, in order to meet the conditions for Integrated Safety.
When their configuration and manufacturing processes permit this, the manufacturer directly incorporates the most appropriate
Safety Devices. If the conditions for installation or use mean that these devices cannot be incorporated at source, all additional
safety accessories are available for implementation when the equipment is installed and before it is put into service.
