Three nested stainless steel fine mesh kitchen sieves of different sizes with black handles on a white marble countertop

What EU 1935 Means for Fine Mesh Kitchen Sieve & Strainer

The dimensions in the table below are supplied to suit EU 1935. Where the standard sets requirements for the finished appliance, device or system, compliance testing of that assembly stays with its manufacturer; we supply the metal mesh part to the drawing and can provide material certificates and dimensional reports with the shipment.
