EHP004 Eco-efficient Substations

About EHP004

The EHP004 Certification Programme certifies Eco-Efficient Substations for District Heating ( CEN Workshop Agreement (CWA) 16975:2016) through the Euroheat & Power EHP004 Guidelines.

This certification programme put in place a formal procedure that allows manufacturers of substations to obtain an internationally recognised confirmation from an independent third party that their product conforms to the requirements stipulated by the CWA.

The goal of the EHP004 Certification programme is to:

provide a voluntary certification system which is beneficial for both manufacturers and users
provide users with an easy way to obtain required assurance of the sufficient quality of the products by introducing a certificate and a label
ensure the required quality of eco-efficient substations for district heating
provide more uniform, equal and fair competition conditions in Europe and avoid unsound price competition at the expense of quality.
avoid/replace multiple/overlapping national certificates and certification schemes

Certification Bodies & Testing Institutes

Certification Bodies are accredited according to EN ISO/IEC 17065 "Conformity assessment - Requirements for bodies certifying products, processes and services" and approved by the Euroheat & Power Certification Board. They are entrusted with the certification operations and report to the Certification Board.

Test Institutes carry out type and spot tests of samples taken as part of external inspections. Test reports are then created by test Institutes which hold a valid accreditation to perform the testing in accordance with the conditions specified by the respective EN standards.
If sub-contractors are used to perform tests, they must possess the relevant accreditation and be approved by the responsible Test Institute.
Disclaimer: It is up to EUROHEAT & POWER'S Certification Board to approve Testing Institutes.

Please note: The lists below are in alphabetical order and do not intend to influence the decision of manufacturers. All Certification Bodies and Testing Institutes are approved by Euroheat & Power in no order of preference.
