CE-marking of collectors

CE-marking related to Directive 89/106/EEC, Construction Product Directive (CPD)

The CE-marking will cover the following characteristics for solar thermal collectors in buildings.:

1. Mechanical resistance to climatic loads (wind, snow, …)
2. Fire safety (e.g. initiation, reaction to fire, risk to adjacent elements, …, as relevant)
3. Weather tightness (when relevant - i.e. for roof integrated or façade integrated collectors)

1. initial type-testing of the product by an approved laboratory
2. factory production control

• CE-marking being the manufacturer declared (lower level) quality assurance scheme
• Keymarking being the 3rd party certified (higher level) quality assurance scheme
