Contractors could be risking ventilation compliance, says Elta Fans

A new campaign to raise awareness of ErP compliance responsibilities relating to certain ventilation products has been launched by Elta Fans.

The manufacturer is asking contractors and distributors who sell or install roof-mounted ventilation solutions to answer a short series of online questions. As a result, they intend to reveal the differing levels of awareness around compliance across the UK.

The issue has originated from Elta Fans’ own customer insights which highlights that many professionals are unknowingly operating as ‘manufacturers’ and are therefore making themselves responsible for ensuring ErP compliance.

While compliance is mandatory, Elta Fans is also advocating that in being compliant, a building is also delivering a higher quality of air – a topic which could not be more pertinent given recent governmental initiatives.

David Millward, product manager at Elta Group, commented: “Legislation affects us all and we know it can be hard to keep up with all of the technicalities, but we find that not everyone is aware of their responsibilities. We hope this survey will offer some clarity for those who are unsure or, more importantly, those completely unaware.”
