Eurovent has released updated editions of its Recommendations 14/6 and 14/7, providing revised guidance for the commercial refrigeration sector across Europe. The updates aim to address concerns over incomplete refrigeration units being placed on the market and to support compliance with EU regulations.
The third edition of Recommendation 14/6 offers guidance on interpreting Regulations (EU) 2019/2018 and 2019/2024. The second edition of Recommendation 14/7 is intended to assist Market Surveillance Authorities in evaluating equipment compliance. Both documents clarify the definitions of ‘complete’ and ‘incomplete’ delivery and include newly published FAQs from the European Commission.
The Eurovent Product Group ‘Commercial Refrigeration Equipment’ (PG-RDC) led the revision process. According to Massimiliano Ferrario, Secretary of PG-RDC, “Incomplete deliveries may breach Ecodesign and Energy Labelling regulatory requirements, putting manufacturers in a difficult position with their customers. Updates are part of Eurovent’s ongoing commitment to strengthening market transparency and ensuring high standards across the refrigeration sector. The update reflects current technological advancements and market developments.”
The updated Recommendations are available for free download on the Eurovent website.
