EU RAC industry official regulation standards.
In 1988 Chris Latham-Smith, General Manager of Foster Refrigerator UK Ltd subsidiary BTU Coil Company Ltd and founding Director of Mistral Associates was nominated by CECOMAF to represent the United Kingdom in the formulation of certification standards for The European Community Refrigeration and Air Conditioning industry. Mr Latham-Smith MCIM MInstR joined the committee sitting in Brussels alongside other similarly qualified CECOMAF delegates from Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Spain and Portugal.
CECOMAF's (European Committee of Manufacturers of Refrigeration Equipment) recommendations were ultimately incorporated in Eurovent Standard EN 328 and IS 10617.
CECOMAF was disbanded in 1997 having achieved its objectives of harmonising manufacturing and application engineering standards for the HVACR industry across all European Community member states.
