For more than 30 years, pumps bearing the “SSPMA-Certified” seal reflect a product that has been tested, by the member manufacturer, and rated in accordance with SSPMA Industry Standards to perform as stated by the manufacturer of the particular equipment involved. Member manufacturing company representatives sign affidavits committing to these standards which are designed to supply the specifier, purchaser and/or user of sump, effluent and sewage pumping equipment with accurate performance data, and to assist in the determination of proper application and selection of this equipment.
