What does a BEAB or VDE system approval mean?
Unlike CE marking, which is a non-independent self-certificate, BEAB and VDE system approvals are completely independent. A system approval, such as Heat Mat have on their heating mats, means that BEAB and VDE have independently verified and tested the heating mats with Heat Mat’s thermostats and they have confirmed that the system is safe and suitable for use as underfloor heating and that it complies with all necessary legislation. At the time of writing Heat Mat are the only manufacturer with this approval, and all of our heating mats, cables and thermostats are manufactured in BEAB approved factories.
