WHAT WE DO

We're here to support the UK Infrared heating Industry.

Product Certification & Testing

Infrared heating manufacturing or sold in the UK needs to meet specific standards. We can help you ensure that your products meet these guidelines. 

Generally, the infrared heaters sold in the UK require the following certification or equivalent:

  • EN 60335-1:2012 / EN60335-2-30 (Safety of Electrical Appliances)
  • EN55014 1 + 2 / EN61003-2 / EN61003-3 (EMC)
  • EN62233-2008 (EMF)
  • EN60529-1992 + A2

Ensuring Quality & Regulation

As the infrared heating industry develops and grows in the UK we are finding more and more poor quality and potentially dangerous products entering the market.

The Infrared Heating Trade Association is here to ensure accountability and quality for those manufacturing and those selling infrared heating products.

All manufacturers who are members of the association have demonstrated that their products are manufactured in accordance with all the relevant UK guidelines.

Reseller members sell only infrared heating fully certified to UK regulations and standards.
