The Eurovent Certified Performance programme for Fans evaluates fans intended for use in Air Handling Units (AHUs) and has been developed in collaboration with the Air Movement and Control Association (AMCA) International Inc, along with its European regional office, AMCA EU. The Fans programme combines AMCA certification protocols with Eurovent Certification’s stringent audit process to create a comprehensive, globally recognised scheme, that attests the performance of AHU fans.
Fans are a central component in AHUs, therefore it’s vital that specifiers have accurate product information when making decisions. If product data is incorrect, products can underperform. Consequences include:
In short, an ineffective fan can undermine the entire AHU’s performance, making it less efficient, noisier, harder to maintain, and more costly to operate, all while increasing environmental and regulatory risks.
This is why it is essential that manufacturer data is correct. Third-party evaluation via Eurovent Certification removes the risk of incorrect product data. Certification gives specifiers the tools to accurately compare and select products with confidence, as it ensures products will perform as advertised.
This certification programme applies to all fan types that are intended to be used as AHU components and covered by the scope of “AMCA 211 – Certified Ratings Program Product Rating Manual for Fan Air Performance”.
Eurovent Certification has a collaborative arrangement with the USA based Air Movement and Control Association (AMCA) International Inc. The Fans certification programme utilises AMCA evaluation protocols, alongside Eurovent Certification audits. Therefore, products must first be certified by the AMCA to apply for the Eurovent Certified Performance mark.
