General Information
Frequently Asked Questions
CEN/TC 312/WG 2 is a Working Group within the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). It is named "Factory made systems" and is responsible for: Preparation of European Standards to cover general requirements, characteristics, test methods, conformity evaluation and labelling for factory made solar heating systems. This committee has published 5 standards.
CEN/TC 312/WG 2 develops CEN standards in the area of Information technology. The scope of work includes: Preparation of European Standards to cover general requirements, characteristics, test methods, conformity evaluation and labelling for factory made solar heating systems. Currently, there are 5 published standards from this working group.
The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a public standards organization that brings together the national standardization bodies of 34 European countries. CEN provides a platform for developing European Standards (ENs) and other technical documents in relation to various products, materials, services, and processes, supporting the European Single Market.
A Working Group in CEN is a specialized group responsible for developing standards or technical work within a defined scope. These bodies bring together international experts to create consensus-based standards that support global trade, safety, and interoperability.
This document specifies requirements on durability, reliability and safety for factory made solar heating systems. The document also includes provisions for evaluation of conformity to these requirements (see Annex A). The concept of system families is included as well, in Annex C.
The requirements in this document apply to factory made solar systems as products. The installation of these systems including their integration with roofs or facades is not considered, but requirements are given for the documentation for the installer and the user to be delivered with the system (see also 4.6).
External auxiliary water heating devices that are placed in series with the factory made system are not considered to be part of the system. Cold water piping from the cold water grid to the system as well as piping from the system to an external auxiliary heater or to draw-off points is not considered to be part of the system. Piping between components of the factory made system is considered to be part of the system. Any integrated heat exchanger or piping for space heating option (see Introduction, last paragraph) is not considered to be part of the system.
