Water heaters

We offer comprehensive services required by manufacturers for placing the CE marking and energy labels on their products. We conduct informative examination of product parameters, testing and assessment of conformity to technical standards and legal regulations, and product certification.

Tested products: 

• Storage hot water heaters, electric or burning gaseous fuels
• Indirectly heated tanks (heat conducted through a heat exchanger from a boiler, heat pump, solar collector, etc.)
• heat storage tanks
• instantaneous water heaters
• etc.

SCOPE OF TESTS AND ASSESSMENTS (SELECTED PROPERTIES):

ECODESIGN / ENERGY LABELLING

• accredited measurement of parameters as the basis for energy labelling
• stationary heat loss
• tapping cycles
• SFC (Smart Control Factor) determination
• sound power
• NO_x measurement (for gas heaters)

Other

• accredited measurement of other parameters of products
• heat capacity and pressure loss of heat exchangers
• cyclic pressurization of tanks (service life)

• electrical safety
• EMC
• certification to the European directive on appliances burning gaseous fuels (link to other appliances)
• certification to Government Regulation 163/2002 Coll. - selected construction products
• and others

Our professional qualifications:
