The European Building Automation and Controls Association (eu.bac) has developed the first Europe-wide test and certification programme for electronic single room controllers.

The test, based on European standard EN 15500, is offered by independent testing institutes and includes inspection of the production plant. It has been instigated in response to the European energy efficiency guideline, Energy Performance of Buildings, which demands obligatory European-wide energy certification of buildings.

Products tested successfully will be awarded an eu.bac certification label. Accredited certifiers and test institutes in France, the UK and Germany have already begun testing and companies including Belimo Automation, Hager Controls, Honeywell and Siemens have gained the first eu.bac certification for electronic individual zone control equipment.
