TIP: Heat-generating equipment standards portal
On this site the German Controls Manufacturers Association VHB e.V. and the German Standards Institute DIN e.V. give an overview about standards for controls which are published or currently in work. National standards (DIN) are covered just as European Standards (CEN, CENELEC). Also global standards (ISO, IEC) will be shown as long as they apply to controls for boilers or process heat equipment.

TIP: Air-conditioning and ventilation standards portal
This standards portal is jointly run by DIN and the German technical association "Fachverband Gebäude-Klima e.V. (FGK)". Its aim is to give German experts access to comprehensive information on standards and standardization activities in the air-conditioning and ventilation sector, at national, European and international level.
