What Certifications Matter When Buying BBQ Equipment for Your Country?

2025-07-08

When purchasing Korean BBQ equipment for a restaurant or retail business, it's not just about the design or price. Certifications play a crucial role in making sure your equipment is safe, legal, and suitable for your local market.

Whether you’re importing a Korean BBQ grill for your dining tables or installing smokeless BBQ equipment to create a cleaner indoor environment, the right certifications are essential. Here's what you need to know.

Korean bbq table


1. UL Certification (United States)
The UL (Underwriters Laboratories) mark is required for electrical and gas-powered cooking equipment in the U.S. Many smokeless BBQ equipment systems and built-in Korean BBQ grills must meet these standards.
Why it matters:
Ensures compliance with local safety codes.
Required by many fire departments and health inspectors.
Common in commercial restaurant kitchens.

2. ETL Certification (North America)

ETL is similar to UL and widely accepted across the U.S. and Canada. It’s often used for electric BBQ grills, exhaust systems, and smokeless BBQ tables.
Why it matters:
Accepted alternative to UL.
Covers both gas and electric Korean BBQ grill units.
Helps with insurance and inspection approvals.

3. CE Certification (European Union)

All electrical or gas-operated BBQ grills, including smokeless Korean BBQ grill systems, must carry the CE mark to be legally sold in Europe.
Why it matters:
Proves compliance with EU health, safety, and environmental standards.
Important for equipment operating under high heat or power.
Required for importing and customs clearance in EU countries.

4. NSF Certification (Global – Food Safety)

If your BBQ grill comes into direct contact with food, like most Korean BBQ grill tops do, NSF certification ensures it's safe and hygienic.
Why it matters:
Commonly required in restaurants in the U.S. and Canada.
Often expected for smokeless BBQ equipment with built-in heating surfaces.
Ensures easy cleaning and prevents contamination.

5. CSA Certification (Canada)

If you’re opening a Korean BBQ restaurant in Canada, look for CSA-cert
