During the Consultation Forum on the revision of the ‘EU Fan Regulation’ 327/2011 in Brussels on 30 April, Eurovent had reinforced its call for an exemption of evaporative cooling equipment from the future Regulation, which was supported by several Member State Representatives. Subsequently within the meeting, the Commission has asked VHK to further elaborate on this issue and on how an exemption can be implemented without creating loopholes. With the following Clarifying Summary, we further elaborate on our requests based on results of the Consultation Forum. We aim to resolve all doubts concerning the possible opening of a loophole.
