  • About heat pumps

    A heat pump is a device that can provide heating, cooling and hot water for residential, commercial and industrial use. Despite the name, all heat pumps can provide both heating and cooling. They work well in nearly all types of climate.

EUCERT

European Heat Pump Association > EUCERT

The EUCERT programme aims at training and educating heat pump installers throughout Europe. This is in line with EHPA’s goal to not only mark quality products but also shine a light on the qualified workforce. Since, an extremely well-running heat pump can lose a lot of its efficiency if not properly installed. Therefore, currently 14 countries are working together to have this scheme in place and in accordance with Article 14 of the RES Directive.

About

icon

Article 14 (3) of the 2009 EU Renewable Energy Sources (RES) Directive says:

“Member States shall ensure that certification schemes or equivalent qualification schemes become or are available by 31 December 2012 for installers of […] heat pumps. Those schemes may take into account existing schemes and structures as appropriate […]. Each Member State shall recognise certification awarded by other Member States in accordance with those criteria.”

icon

EUCert – forward

The European Heat Pump Association wants to be a frontrunner on training and certification schemes for heat pump installers in Europe and it therefore takes, through its Education Committee, the management and development of a training and certification scheme – EUCert – forward.

icon

This EUCert certification programme has grown out of a previous EU funded programme, the SAVE project EU-CERT.

HP, which was aimed at initiating a European training and quality campaign for installers in the field of heat pump technology. It had been supported by the European Commission within the Intelligent Energy Programme and was completed in December 2006. Afterwards, EHPA felt that the sector needed such a program to be wider developed and therefore continued with its partners in several EU Member States to improve the schemes. Today organisations from several European countries, in addition to the original project partners, are actively using and supporting this system.

You can find more information on the countries where trainings are offered in the sub-section Member countries. If your country is not listed yet and you have a vital interest in setting up a training programme based on the EUCERT scheme, please contact us via eucert@ehpa.org.
