When it comes to fireplaces, safety and sustainability are key. Be inspired by the latest Hydrofire Cast Iron ranges. Quality for all In Europe, these factors of safety and sustainability are governed by the CE certification for safety and the rigorous Eco Design 2022 standard. This ensures low emissions and high efficiency. While Eco Design is mandatory only in Europe, its impact is global, influencing manufacturers, especially in China, to upgrade their products for export to Europe.
