First tyre inflator manufacturer to obtain national CEM standards across the board
PCL has become the first and only manufacturer of tyre inflation equipment to obtain Spanish CEM (Centro Español de Metrologia) approvals for its full portfolio and operations.
Following the EU’s decision to rule against a unified directive for tyre inflation, manufacturers now have to apply for national standards within the EU.
PCL therefore committed itself to ensuring all of its products are officially certified for use on the Spanish market.
As well as securing approval for its digital inflation range, PCL’s mechanical gauges have also passed the legislative criteria; and scoring a first for the Spanish market, PCL’s state of the art factory and testing facility in Sheffield has been approved to verify its mechanical gauges.

Export Business Development Manager, Jonathan Robinson, said: “This makes PCL the only company to have successfully passed through all three national standards for Spain, covering the factory in addition to all digital and mechanical products. To issue CEM certification across the board is a new development for Spain, so for the PCL brand this represents the highest stamp of approval. To achieve this, you must have quality running through all that you do.
“It demonstrates what PCL can achieve for customers through our commitment to developing capabilities by investing in cutting edge equipment at our testing facility, and recruiting expert personnel.
“These approvals mean our customers in Spain can feel assured they are buying the best brand for tyre inflation available. We are delighted to announce that we are open for business with a full portfolio of tyre inflation products for garage forecourts, tyre shops and factories; with orders for mechanical gauges already being shipped out, and orders for digital units in production.”
With over 80 years of experience in developing sophisticated pneumatic equipment, PCL is recognised as the global leader in the design and manufacture of the most advanced and comprehensive portfolio of tyre inflation and compressed air products on the market, all backed up by local aftersales service and support.
Bringing testing and development in-house has provided PCL with the capability to continually develop existing ranges and create new digital ones in relation to market trends and customer needs.
