Ecodesign Requirements — Space Heaters (Regulation (EU) 2016/2281 / EN 14511 / EN 14825)	GB 21455-2019 is the mandatory energy efficiency standard for room air conditioners and multi-split systems, specifying COP at rated conditions. GB/T 25127-2010 series covers low-ambient-temperature heating performance relevant to cold-climate markets. Neither standard employs the SCOP methodology or EN 14825 seasonal bin calculation used in EU Ecodesign, and seasonal efficiency calculation methods are not equivalent.GB 21455-2019 GB/T 25127-2010 series	Ecodesign Regulation (EU) 2016/2281 (implementing Ecodesign Directive 2009/125/EC) applies to air heating products in Denmark and sets minimum seasonal space heating energy efficiency (ηs) thresholds. For heat pumps, efficiency is expressed via SCOP (seasonal coefficient of performance). Performance at rated conditions uses EN 14511; seasonal performance calculation uses EN 14825. Cold-climate performance is particularly relevant for Denmark — the EN 14825 cold-climate bin weighting covers outdoor temperatures common in Danish winters.

Pressure Equipment Directive — Refrigerant Circuit Classification (PED / EN 378)	TSG 21-2016 (Special Equipment Safety Technical Supervision Regulations for Boilers and Pressure Vessels, administered by SAMR) and GB 150.1-150.4-2011 (Pressure vessels) govern pressure vessels in China. SELO (Special Equipment Licensing Office) registration is required for certain pressure vessels. The Chinese risk classification methodology differs from PED: different boundary conditions, different inspection body roles, and SELO registration is not equivalent to PED CE marking or a Notified Body certificate.TSG 21-2016 (SAMR/SELO pressure vessel supervision) GB 150.1-150.4-2011 (Pressure vessels)	Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU (PED) applies in Denmark as an EU member state. Refrigerant circuits are classified by fluid group (Group 1 = flammable or toxic refrigerants such as R290; Group 2 = non-flammable, non-toxic refrigerants such as R32 and R410A), maximum allowable pressure, and volume. Category I (lowest risk) allows manufacturer self-declaration; Categories II, III, and IV require involvement of a Notified Body. DS EN 378-1 to EN 378-4 are the Danish Standards adoptions of the EN 378 refrigerating system safety series, applied alongside PED.Directive 2014/68/EU (PED) EN 378-1:2016+A1:2020 (system safety, used with PED) DS EN 378 series (Danish Standards adoption)	PED classification and Notified Body requirements differ substantially from the Chinese SELO/TSG system.

F-gas Regulation and Danish Refrigerant Order — Restrictions, Phase-down, and KMO Certification	GB/T 7778 covers refrigerant classification and labelling requirements in China. China has no equivalent GWP-based phase-down quota system aligned with EU F-gas Regulation. R410A remains widely used in Chinese air-source heat pumps. GB/T 25127 series addresses low-ambient-temperature heating performance but does not restrict refrigerant GWP. There is no Chinese equivalent to KMO technician certification.GB/T 7778 (refrigerant classification) GB/T 25127-2010 series	EU F-gas Regulation (EU) 2024/573 (superseding 517/2014) applies in Denmark and imposes phase-down quotas on HFCs. Heat pumps using R410A (GWP ~2088) face market restrictions from 2025 onwards. Denmark has historically applied stricter national HFC limits beyond EU minimums via domestic refrigerant orders enforced by Miljøstyrelsen (MST, the Danish Environmental Protection Agency). Technicians handling F-gas refrigerants in Denmark must hold KMO (Kølemontøruddannelse) certification, which is the Danish equivalent of EU F-gas technician certification required under the F-gas Regulation. R32 (GWP 675) and R290 (propane, GWP 3) are preferred compliant refrigerant options for Danish market entry.Regulation (EU) 2024/573 (F-gas Regulation) Danish refrigerant order (Miljøstyrelsen enforcement) KMO technician certification (Danish F-gas technician qualification)	R410A-charged heat pumps face EU/Danish market restrictions from 2025. Chinese manufacturers must switch to R32, R290, or other low-GWP refrigerants for Danish export. No Chinese national quota system aligns with EU F-gas bulk HFC quota. Danish installers and service technicians must hold KMO certification — this is not a product certification burden on the manufacturer but must be confirmed in the distribution and service chain before market entry.[INFORMATIONAL] Major gap for R410A units — EU/Danish market placement restricted from 2025.
