Devices and systems for building and supply technologies – testing and certification

In addition to electrical safety, the energy efficiency of devices and systems in building and supply technologies plays a crucial role. Alternative heating and climate systems should help reduce the amount of CO2, among other things. By doing so, they not only make a crucial contribution to the climate and environmental protection, but also offer the consumer attractive benefits in heat cost savings. The VDE Institute guides manufacturers and distribution companies with their testing and certification services as early as during the development process – from the heating system to the roller shutter drive.

The VDE test spectrum related to building and supply technologies

Manufacturers, buyers and businesses use VDE test marks for a specific quality policy and to build trust. Furthermore, the neutral testing performed by the VDE Institute gives engineers and manufacturers peace of mind when developing and manufacturing new products.

  • Fuel cells
  • Electrical underfloor heating systems
  • Devices and electrical facilities in the bathroom and toilet
  • Water heating devices (instant water heaters, boilers)
  • Air conditioners, fans and room ventilators
  • Components, e.g. heating elements, heating inserts, igniters
  • Combined heat and power generation plants
  • Air humidifiers
  • Motorized actuators for roller shutters, awnings, blinds and similar devices,
  • Stationary and mobile space heaters and thermal storage heaters
  • Pumps (e.g. built-in pumps, circulation pumps)
  • Heat pumps
  • Central heating installations and systems (oil, gas, solid fuels)

The VDE Institute offers you comprehensive services

Beyond legal safety requirements and testing of the product’s characteristics, we evaluate the products within the framework of European regulations on type approval, optimized energy efficiency and functionality. Even chemical analyses and effects due to noise emission can be included in the evaluations. All test results are characterized by a high level of reliability and reproducibility.
