| Government regulations in the U.S., Canada and Mexico require protective lighting to ensure broken glass from lamps can not come into contact with food, food equipment or food packaging. |
 |
To adhere to these regulations & to protect product, equipment, employees and customers from liability, USE ONLY Shat-R-Shield plastic-coated, shatter-resistant lamps. Facility inspectors look for the familiar Shat-R-Shield orange bands to
ensure safety compliance. |
|
| Shat-R-Shield lamps are UL-EPH (environmental and public health) classified, NSF certified and meet FDA, OSHA, CFIA (Canada Food Inspection Agency) and Mexican Dept. of Agriculture regulations. Luna Glow® sleeves and shatter-resistant glass globes are not classified by UL-EPH. |
