  1. www.solarkeymark.org SolarKeymark - Kicking off the good circle • Bigger market • Increased sales • Lower prices EU quality label for solar thermal products Jan Erik Nielsen, Solar Energy Centre, Technological Institute, DK

  2. www.solarkeymark.org SolarKeymark - The good circle • Bigger Market • Better Products • Enhanced User Confidence • Increased sales • More Rational Production • Lower prices Jan Erik Nielsen, Solar Energy Centre, Technological Institute, DK

  3. www.solarkeymark.org SolarKeymark - What’s a Keymark? I declare this product to fulfil the requirements in the European Standards A Keymark certifies conformity with European Standards - it is voluntary Certifying conformity means declaring that the product fulfil the requirements in - and is tested according to - the relevant EN’s Do not mix with the CE-Mark: A CE-Mark declares conformity with requirements of EU directives - it is obligatory if the directive covers the product Jan Erik Nielsen, Solar Energy Centre, Technological Institute, DK
