Heat pumps

We are an accredited testing laboratory which performs tests according to relevant product standards. As the Notified Body 1015 we provide comprehensive services in area of heat pumps pursuant to Government Regulation 163/2002 Coll. (Selected construction products) and European directives.

Our laboratory is registered and recognized within the framework of the EHPA (European Heat Pump Association). We are an accredited test laboratory and a certification body for the systems MCS (The Microgeneration Certification Scheme) and Heat pump KEYMARK and also empowered accredited test laboratory Eurovent Certita Certification and LCIE (NF mark). We actively participate in joint meetings of the EHPA and of Heat pump Keymark.

Our Test Station has been included amongst the prestigious accredited test laboratories approved by DIN CERTCO (Reg. No. PL271). Our test reports can therefore be used to obtain this certification mark of quality. Marking your products with DIN CERTCO marks will enhance their credibility not only on the European market but also on the other markets worldwide.

Our laboratories for testing of heat pumps have available state-of-the-art facilities. Testing takes place in a fully automated mode, under supervision of a test engineer.

In the field of testing and certification of heat pumps, we provide these services:

tests of performance parameters or informative tests for development of your product
