iHelios Infrared Heating: TÜV Certified, Energy Rating A & Eco Design Approved for a Greener Future
In a world increasingly focused on sustainability and energy efficiency, the iHelios infrared heating system is setting new standards in smart, eco-friendly comfort.
We’re proud to announce that in August 2024, our innovative heating technology successfully passed TÜV Rheinland testing, achieving an impressive 39 % seasonal space-heating efficiency (ηₛ) — officially above the EU minimum requirement of ≥ 38 %.
- TÜV Report: Proves iHelios infrared film meets EU Ecodesign 2015/1188
- Measured ηₛ: 39 %
- With smart controls (add + 9 %): ≈ 45 % → Class A
- Official label: “ErP Class A – TÜV tested”
This major milestone confirms that iHelios Infrared Heating Film achieves an Energy Efficiency Rating A, meeting and exceeding the Eco Design (ErP) Regulation 2015/1188 standard for electric heating products.
This recognition allows us to proudly display both the Eco Design certification and Energy Rating A label — marks of excellence that underscore our commitment to environmentally responsible innovation and continuous improvement.
The Introduction of EU Regulation 2015/1188 (Eco Design Lot 20)
Eco Design Lot 20 is a core part of EU legislation that took effect on January 1, 2018, requiring all electric space heaters and radiators sold within the EU to meet minimum efficiency standards under the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED 2015/1188).
It also mandates smart features — including thermostats, occupancy sensors, and timers — to actively improve energy performance.
This regulation reshaped the electric-heating industry, driving manufacturers to redesign products for higher efficiency and lower environmental impact. The result: a new generation of sustainable, intelligent heating systems like iHelios Energy Rating A infrared panels.
What TÜV Certification & Energy Rating A Mean for iHelios
TÜV Rheinland (Technischer Überwachungsverein) is a globally recognized certification body known for its rigorous testing standards in quality, safety, and efficiency.
By achieving TÜV certification and an Energy Rating A, iHelios infrared heating has proven its outstanding ability to operate efficiently while minimizing energy consumption — ensuring our customers enjoy verified performance and lower running costs.
Seal of Trust & Quality Assurance
Although TÜV originated in Germany, it has become a worldwide symbol of trust and reliability.
This independent verification confirms that iHelios products meet international standards for safety, performance, and sustainability, empowering customers and partners to choose with confidence.
Furthermore, TÜV approval and Energy Rating A classification enhance our global competitiveness, simplifying access to new markets thanks to international compliance.
A Leap Toward Even Greater Efficiency
With a verified Seasonal Efficiency = 39 % (Energy Rating A), iHelios already delivers class-leading performance — translating to lower energy bills and a smaller carbon footprint for users.
Unlike conventional heating systems that waste energy by warming the air, iHelios infrared technology directly heats people and objects. This means faster warmth, more even temperature distribution, and minimal heat loss.
Key benefits include:
🔸 Immediate Warmth – heat starts within seconds.
🔸 Energy Efficiency (Class A) – lower consumption vs. traditional systems.
🔸 Healthier Air – reduced dust and allergen movement.
The Eco Design Stamp: Our Commitment to Sustainability
Receiving the Eco Design stamp and Energy Rating A certification is more than just an achievement — it’s a reflection of our philosophy.
Every iHelios product is designed with eco-friendly materials and minimal lifecycle impact, supporting a cleaner, greener future.
For customers, this means:
