Solar Keymark is the official European quality hallmark for solar collectors and systems. It was introduced by the European Committee for Standardization CEN. The Solar Keymark shows the purchaser that a product conforms to the relevant European standard and is regularly monitored by an independent organisation.

The Solar Keymark certification is issued based on the following: 

• Testing to the relevant European standard
  EN 12975 for collectors, EN 12976 for compact systems.

• Manufacturer quality management
  The manufacturer should operate an appropriate quality management system (at least ISO 9001). Audits are carried out in every case.

• Sampling
  Collectors and systems submitted for certification are taken from the production line by an independent test laboratory.

• Regular monitoring of manufacturer’s products and quality management system
  Both products and production processes are regularly monitored by a test laboratory.
  Any changes to products should be reported.

For transparency purposes the results of all tests carried out are published on: www.solarkeymark.org

As a rule SPF cooperates with certification organisation DIN CERTCO.
