BS EN 14037

HCP, Radiant Heating Panels are tested to BS EN 14037, the dedicated British and European standard for ceiling mounted radiant panels supplied with water at temperatures below 120°C.

In the past radiant heater output was based on a large number of pan-European test methods for wall mounted radiators. This resulted in output figures which varied significantly depending on the country, test institute or certification scheme used.

BS EN 14037 was introduced to provide consistent and accurate output figures, ensuring energy efficiencies are realised in radiant heating specifications. Testing can only be carried out at two independently approved European test laboratories. HCP testing was performed by HLK in Stuttgart using typical Low Temperature Hot Water (LTHW).

BS EN 14037 is published in three parts and additional information can be found on the BSI website.
