Thus, SFC now has adequate means of investigation to:
The benefits
Check the durability of non-stick coatings according to standard NF D 21-511:

Check the general safety and performance requirements of the products according to standard NF EN 12983-1:
- Product construction requirements
- Resistance to burning
- Heat resistance
- Resistance to Torque (Torsional strength)
- Bending strength (Flexural strength)
- Handle fatigue
