Foire aux questions

The questions buyers ask before the first PO.

B2B buyers collect a pile of doubts before they order — is the French story real, will customs accept the certificates, is the 50-year life documented, what’s the MOQ, can you clear my port, are the specs complete, what’s the warranty and payment term. We answer them here, by topic and by buyer role, with the standards and numbers behind every claim.

IFANNova manufactures and supplies piping for importers, contractors, municipalities and private-label brands — wholesale, project and OEM only.

01 · Brand authenticity

Is IFANNova really French?

The highest-frequency trust question — answered transparently and within compliance.

For the importer & private-label brand — IFANNova is a French brand — French-designed and built to European standards — manufactured in our own facility by Zhuji Fengfan Piping, a plant with 30+ years’ experience serving 118+ countries. You get French-brand engineering and European-standard quality from a factory you can audit and trace. About IFANNova → · See the factory →

For the distributor & retail buyer — IFANNova is a French brand — French-designed to European standards — and we’re transparent that production runs in our own manufacturing facility, not in France. That means European-standard design and certification with the traceability, capacity and pricing of a direct factory behind every order. Read the French brand story →

02 · Certifications & customs

Proof that clears tenders and customs.

For the project buyer & importer — our range is backed by a European-standard portfolio — German SKZ (one of the strictest), CE, WRAS, DVGW, ISO 9001/14001, SGS and Bureau Veritas. These are the marks customs, consultants and tender committees look for before approval. See certifications & standards →

For the compliance-focused buyer — yes. We issue certificates with their numbers, validity and product coverage on request (Coming soon) so your consultant or customs broker can verify them directly, rather than accepting a logo on a brochure. Buying from the factory means the paperwork is first-hand.

03 · Quality & service life

Engineered for a 50-year life.

For the municipal & irrigation buyer — our HDPE (PN16, marked DIN 8077/8078 per our catalogue) and UPVC/CPVC (806) systems are engineered for a 50+ year service life from 100% high-grade material. UPVC/CPVC 806 is PN16; our catalogue states 95-120 °C for its CPVC grade rather than as a service rating, and it resists acid/alkali corrosion — the reason projects specify them over legacy materials for long-life buried and pressure networks.

For the established buyer & retail chain — we manufacture from 100% high-standard raw material in our own 120,000 m² facility with 10,000 moulds, so dimensions and pressure ratings stay consistent across reorders. Your second container matches your first — critical for shelf presentation and jobsite fit.

06 · Specs & compatibility

One factory, matched systems.

For the contractor & importer — yes. We manufacture PPR (PN20, hot/cold water & heating), HDPE (603/604 fittings), UPVC/CPVC (806, with valves and solvent cement) and PVC drainage (902) as matched systems from one factory — so you source pipe plus every fitting in one place, no cross-brand compatibility risk. Browse all product lines →

For the project & municipal buyer — PPR is rated PN20; HDPE is rated PN16 and marked to DIN 8077/8078 (per our catalogue); UPVC/CPVC is PN16; our catalogue states 95-120 °C for its CPVC grade rather than as a service rating, with acid/alkali resistance. We specify rating and size against your technical schedule so you confirm compliance before committing to bulk. PPR pipe & fittings → · HDPE →
