Euroheat & Power Certification Guidelines for District Heating Pipes 


Certification in accordance with these guidelines enables an increased product quality level, sound competition and more reliable and easier procurement in a cost efficient way by avoiding multiple testing and inspections in production of preinsulated district heating pipes.

Certification is possible for straight preinsulated pipes (EHP001) and flexible preinsulated pipe systems (EHP002). The focus of the Guidelines are standardized products: 

  • EHP 001 - Straight preinsulated pipes (EN 253 and EN 15698-1) and fitting assemblies (EN 448) both single and twin pipe system, with or without surveillance system (EN 14419). 
  • EHP 002 - Preinsulated flexible pipe systems (EN 15632-1, -2, -3, -4) with or without surveillance system (EN 14419).
These guidelines were approved by the Board of Euroheat & Power and are endorsed by National Association Members.
All producers are encouraged to apply the certificaton procedure according to these guidelines, and district heating companies are encouraged to buy and use only certified products.
