PRESS RELEASE
Release date: July 2008

Specialist manufacturer of heating and cooling equipment S & P Coil Products Limited (SPC) have been accredited with the European standard EN14037 for their THERMATILE PLUS Radiant Ceiling Panels. 

EN14037 is the new standard for measuring outputs of radiant panels.  It not only states how and where panels can be tested, but also sets standards for the radiant panel structure.

Testing of radiant panels by manufacturers has been promoted by the Association of European Manufacture of Ceiling Panels (EMCP) who consist of the major radiant panel manufacturers in the UK of which SPC are a founder member.  The group agreed in 2007 that all companies should test and publish their radiant panel outputs to the EN14037 standard to help clarify outputs which were causing confusion across the industry.  The EMCP recommends that customers should only rely on the output of radiant panels tested to this standard.

SPC’s accreditation and testing was performed by WSP Lab Stuttgart, Germany (07.55.SPC.101) in March 2008.  SPC’s UK Sales Director, Warwick Taylor said

 “For a number of years manufacturers have been publishing outputs for radiant panels with no suitable standard to base them on.  Now we have a European radiant panel standard that we can all use.  I am delighted that SPC, one of the founder members of the EMCP Group are now accredited to the EN14037 standard which gives our customers total confidence in selecting our radiant panels, which have and always will perform as we say they do.”

Phil Johnson, Senior Mechanical Engineer at Pick Everard Said

"We have specified SPC's THERMATILE PLUS Radiant Panels on a number of projects over the past few years, the accreditation to EN14037 fully justifies our confidence in the product, and what we already know about how it performs."

The accredited outputs for SPC’s THERMATILE PLUS Radiant Panels have been included in SPC’s new radiant panel brochure which is available for download from the HASL website: www.hasl.co.uk or as a hard copy by calling 01506 438083.  The new brochure provides a clear understanding of the technology used in SPC’s radiant panels along with an explanation of their ease of installation.
