Keymark Certificate (Keymark Certification)
The Keymark certificate is a conformity certificate that verifies product energy efficiency and performance. It shows that products conform to specific energy efficiency standards. Keymark aims to promote energy saving and environmental sustainability for consumers and businesses.
Keymark Certificate Requirements
Products must meet specific requirements for Keymark certification. These requirements typically rest on European standards and cover criteria such as performance, safety, and quality. Some of the general requirements for the Keymark certificate are listed below.
- Product standard: Products must conform to a specific European standard (EN standard). These standards define product features, performance requirements, test methods, and acceptance limits.
- Product tests: Products must go through the specified tests at independent testing laboratories. These tests verify that the product meets the specified performance criteria. Test results are required for the Keymark application.
- Certification process: Products must go through a certification process run by an independent certification body or an authorised testing laboratory. Products can receive the Keymark certificate after the test results are reviewed and evaluated.
- Quality management system: The manufacturer must apply a defined quality management system to ensure product quality and conformity. The system must cover the production process and conform to specific standards.
- Audits: The manufacturer must be audited at set intervals. These audits verify that the production facility and process conform to the standards. The audit results are required for the Keymark certificate to remain valid.
These requirements give a general view, and the specific requirements for the Keymark certificate can vary with the product category and the relevant European standard. The websites of Keymark-issuing bodies or the documentation of the relevant standards provide more detailed, current information.
