What Eurovent Certification Is
Eurovent certification is a voluntary, independent programme that verifies the published performance of HVAC and refrigeration products, including air-to-air heat recovery units. A certified product has had its claims checked by a third party.
Why It Protects You
- An independent lab confirms the effectiveness, not just the manufacturer
- Random surveillance audits keep the data honest over time
- Certified values are published in a searchable directory
Certification vs Self-Declaration
A self-declared number can be measured at the best possible point. A Eurovent-certified number is measured against a fixed method and periodically re-checked. For a funded or permitted project, that difference is what survives an audit.
How to Use It
Before specifying, look the model up in the Eurovent directory and compare the certified effectiveness with the sales datasheet. If they disagree, ask why.
