Ms Orla Coyle:

Yes, it is. We take that information. I am not 100% familiar with the construction product database. For example, in the case of a heat pump, someone would have come to us and said he or she wanted to use it in a BER assessment. What happens in that case is that we will ask it whether it has been tested to the eco-design. In one case, the answer was "No" because it was slightly different from the heat pumps that are tested to the eco-design but we must still have them on a level playing field with all the other heat pumps sold in the country. We must then get them to try to achieve the same level or standard or an equivalent standard. When somebody with a product on sale in Europe comes into Ireland, we get it to test to a completely different standard. It is about trying to get that harmonisation in the standards to which the construction product will be tested.
