BS EN 12976-2 on factory-made thermal solar systems is for:
BS EN 12976-2 on factory-made thermal solar systems enables the final supplier to classify and choose between a factory-made or a custom-built thermal solar system.
BS EN 12976-2 assists suppliers to modify a solar heating system by changing its configuration or by changing one or more of its components. Thus, the supplier can set up a modified system that is considered as a brand-new system just with the addition of a new test report.
BS EN 12976-2 helps the manufacturers, suppliers, and users validate the requirements and test methods for factory-made solar heating systems.
