Eurovent in the HVACR Industry
How Eurovent Influences Standards and the Credibility of HVACR Technologies
The HVACR industry encompasses a wide range of technologies for heating, ventilation, air conditioning, refrigeration, and air filtration. It is a technically demanding field in which precisely defined parameters, uniform measurement methodologies, and the credibility of technical data play a crucial role. Designers, investors, and building operators rely on product performance parameters when designing systems, which is why it is important for these parameters to be understandable, transparent, and ideally also independently verified.
In this regard, the European organization Eurovent plays a significant role, representing over a hundred companies directly and more than a thousand others indirectly through national associations across Europe. The organization connects the technical and market expertise of European HVACR technology manufacturers and channels it into standardization, regulatory processes, and European legislative discussions.
Eurovent has long been dedicated to addressing issues that have a significant impact on the future of the HVACR industry. These include indoor air quality, product sustainability, the decarbonization of heating, digitalization, and the transition to new refrigerants. The organization connects manufacturers, national associations, and other professional bodies, creating opportunities for collaboration in standardization, regulation, and technological development within the European HVACR market. The goal is to promote fair competition, innovation, and the long-term sustainable development of the entire sector.
Eurovent Certification and the Importance of Reliable Parameters
Eurovent Certification, best known for the “Eurovent Certified Performance” label, is also an important part of the broader ecosystem. The certification serves to independently verify the declared performance parameters of HVACR products through third-party testing and represents an important benchmark for the entire market.
In practice, this means that the technical parameters of products are not based solely on manufacturers’ internal data but undergo an independent verification process. This is important not only for the manufacturers themselves but also for designers, building managers, facility operators, and other professionals who rely on technical data and performance parameters when designing or selecting technologies.
Hengst Filtration is among the manufacturers that hold this certification and may use the designation “Eurovent Certified Performance” for filters with filtration classes according to ISO 16890. This confirms that the declared filter parameters undergo independent verification, thereby contributing to greater credibility of technical data and transparency of performance parameters.
Hengst Filtration is also a Corresponding Member of Eurovent, a category that brings together European manufacturers actively involved in the organization’s activities. Membership allows the company to participate in expert discussions on the future direction of the HVACR industry, share technical know-how, and engage in topics related to indoor air quality, standardization, sustainability, and the development of modern filtration technologies.
The organization’s activities also include Eurovent Market Intelligence, which collects comprehensive market data across the EMEA region and provides insights into market size, structure, and current trends in individual HVACR segments.
