Solar Keymark - What’s a Keymark?
Certifying conformity means declaring that the product fulfil the requirementsin - and is tested according to - the relevant EN’s
Jan Erik Nielsen, Solar Energy Centre, Technological Institute, DK
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
A Keymark certifies conformity with European Standards - it is voluntary
I declare this product tofulfil the requirements inthe European Standards
