Today, we’re taking you behind the scenes of the Heat Pump KEYMARK certification process with a new video: Certified with Confidence: Heat Pump KEYMARK x SZ\u00da<\/em> a collaboration between the Heat Pump KEYMARK<\/strong> Secretariat and the Czech testing laboratory and Certification Body SZ\u00da<\/strong> (Stroj\u00edrensk\u00fd zku\u0161ebn\u00ed \u00fastav).<\/p>

The short film takes viewers inside the Heat Pump KEYMARK certification process, highlighting how independent, third-party testing and robust certification procedures work together to build trust in heat pump quality and performance across Europe. Featuring insights from key stakeholders, including representatives from both the KEYMARK Secretariat and SZ\u00da, the video illustrates the rigorous procedures that underpin one of Europe\u2019s most trusted voluntary certification marks for heat pumps.<\/p>

The Heat Pump KEYMARK is a voluntary European certification mark that verifies compliance with high performance, efficiency and quality standards through impartial third-party testing and assessment. Owned by the European Committee for Standardisation and coordinated by EHPA, the scheme provides a single harmonised certificate recognised across multiple European markets.<\/p>

\u201cCertified with Confidence: Heat Pump KEYMARK x SZ\u00da offers audiences a transparent look into the essential roles that testing laboratories and certification bodies play in maintaining the integrity of the certification process,\u201d said Leopoldo Mic\u00f2, Director of the Heat Pump KEYMARK Secretariat<\/strong>. \u201cThrough collaboration and shared expertise, we ensure that manufacturers can confidently demonstrate product quality, and that end users can trust the heat pumps they choose.\u201d<\/em><\/p>

By giving visibility to the people and facilities behind Heat Pump KEYMARK, the video reinforces the scheme\u2019s foundational values of independence, transparency, and cooperation, values that have supported its growth and recognition throughout the European heating and cooling sector..<\/p>
