What is the EIHA?
The European Infrared Heating Alliance (EIHA) is a European trade association that established a clear quality standard for electric infrared heating systems in 2021 with the EIHA seal of approval. This seal of approval gives end customers and specialist partners confidence when selecting high-quality and efficient heating devices.
Four criteria for the EIHA seal of approval:
1. Radiation efficiency ≥ 40%
According to IEC 60675-3, at
least 40% of the energy used must be converted into genuine radiant heat - for
efficient and comfortable heating.
2. Tested CE certification
The devices must be tested by
independent institutes such as TÜV, VDE, or ÖVE in accordance with EN 60335 and
other EU directives-for tested safety and quality.
3. Ongoing production control
An annual quality check by
independent bodies ensures consistently high manufacturing quality throughout the
entire production period.
4. Eco-design compliant
The device complies with the EU
Eco-design Directive with a minimum efficiency of 38%-a sign of energy efficiency
and environmental friendliness.
