This document was drawn up in order to assess the definitions, test conditions, forms of test and test installations required to determine the nominal thermal, aeraulic and hydraulic characteristics of packaged air conditioning units and to verify their fitness for purpose by means of the following tests: test for operation at maximum temperature, test for operation at low temperature, test for non-condensation on casing, test for evacuation of condensate. This document includes English, French, German and Italian versions.

The present standard shall define universal principles for testing the performance of forced flow air heaters and air coolers without dehumidification of the air. It shall induce the manufacturers of heat exchangers to apply this standard to their performance guarantees and shall help to convert the results obtained by performance tests into guarantee values. This document is available in English, French and German.

The purpose of this document is to establish guidelines for laboratory testing of heat recovery devices for obtaining rating data, specify test requirements and procedures for performing such tests, and specify input criteria required for standard tests to verify performance data given by the manufacturer. This document is written in English, French, German and Italian.

This document specifies a method for measuring the sand rejection efficiency of sand trap louvres, subject to simulated sand and with air flow through the louvre under test. For the purpose of this test, a 1000 mm x 1000 mm section of sand trap louvre or the nearest possible blade increment is to be tested. This document is available in English.

The first prototype of EPREL has been analysed and tested by Sandrine Marinhas (Eurovent Certita Certification) and Charlotte van de Water (Eurovent Member Association Agoria) while exchanging information with Oscar Miralles, one of the Commission Policy Officers dealing with the practical implementation of EPREL. Charlotte van de Water has composed an article that provides a concrete insight into the procedures. This is referred to in the text below.

On 27 February 2018, Eurovent attended the inauguration of its Associate Member CEIS’ new testing facility. The project, which was under development for a little more than two years, promises to open doors for a new generation of products and testing opportunities – for the benefit of certification bodies, manufacturers and other organisations in the air conditioning market.

The Commission has awarded a two-year service contract to support Member States in the optional testing and rolling out of the SRI. A first newsletter was issued, and the related webpage also updated.

This Eurovent document specifies a method for measuring the water rejection performance of louvres, subject to simulated rain and wind pressures, both with and without air flow through the louvre test. For the purpose of this test, a 1000 mm x 1000 mm section of wether louvre or the nearest possible blade increment is to be tested. The first edition of Eurovent 2/5 was published in 1985. Since that time, the work has been carried out in the CEN/TC 156, in order to prepare a new European Standard needed to support essential requirement of EC Directives. The present edition, approved by Eurovent WG 2, is conform to the projected European Standard. This document is available in English.

The Committee on Legal Affairs of the  European Parliament has asked for a for a study that looks at the interrelation between the Consumer Sales and Guarantee Directive (CSD) and the Ecodesign Directive. This study aims to assess how the legal guarantee of products could be coordinated with the notion of products’ expected lifetime.

This standard applies to thermal performance acceptance testing of standardised mechanical draught water cooling towers. It refers to preparation, execution and analysis of acceptance tests, and should already be recognised as integral part of the contract. Deviations from the rules laid out below, as well as any additions, need specific agreement and should be documented. This document is intended for use by suppliers, purchasers, owners, experts and testing agencies. It is available in English, French, German and Italian.

The first delegated act of the Taxonomy Regulation was published in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU). It contains the Technical Screening Criteria (TSC) for the first two environmental objectives.
