Greenhouse Standards in the EU: Ensuring Quality, Safety, and Sustainability

When choosing or building a greenhouse, compliance with EU standards is crucial for structural integrity, energy efficiency, and environmental safety. Whether you're a commercial grower, a research facility, or a hobbyist, understanding these regulations ensures your greenhouse meets the highest safety and performance benchmarks.

 

Key EU Standards for Greenhouses

Structural Safety – EN 13031-1 & Eurocodes

The EN 13031-1 standard defines design and construction requirements, ensuring resistance to wind, snow, and other loads.

Eurocodes (EN 199 series) provide guidelines for steel, aluminum, and other structural materials.

Material Compliance – EN 10130, EN 573-3, EN 13655

Metal frameworks must meet EN 10130 (steel) or EN 573-3 (aluminum) standards.

Plastic films and covers should comply with EN 13655 for durability and light transmission.

Environmental & Chemical Safety – REACH & RoHS

REACH Regulation (EC 1907/2006) restricts harmful substances in greenhouse materials.

RoHS Directive (2011/65/EU) applies to electrical components (e.g., automated systems).

Energy Efficiency – ErP Directive & EN 16247-1

The ErP Directive (2009/125/EC) promotes energy-saving heating and lighting systems.

EN 16247-1 helps optimize energy use through audits.

Fire Safety – EN 13501-1

Greenhouse covers and insulation materials must meet fire resistance classifications.

CE Marking & Certification

Many greenhouse components require CE marking, proving compliance with EU directives like the Construction Products Regulation (CPR 305/2011).
