Congrats, Adax: first EPD warms up specs

Adax AS just published its first Environmental Product Declaration for the Neo Basic panel heater. Released in March 2026, the move puts verified product data on the table for housing and light‑commercial projects where a product‑specific EPD removes guesswork in carbon accounting and keeps the brand in play when bids tighten. It also signals that electric space heating can compete on transparency, not only price. Below is what launched, who verified it, and how this changes the day‑to‑day spec math against familiar Nordic peers.

What just launched

Adax has one current, product‑specific EPD covering the Adax Neo Basic panel heater, issued under EN 15804 by EPD Norway. The record is listed as valid through 2030, and the issuance month is March 2026.

Scope notes matter. The declaration names Neo Basic specifically and does not indicate a broad product‑family scope in its title, so teams should treat it as model‑level unless the PDF states grouped variants in detail. A tidy first step, and a smart one.

Why spec teams will care in the Nordics

Norway’s building code requires climate accounting in many project types, which steers buyers toward product‑specific, third‑party verified EPDs to avoid conservative defaults that penalize selection (DiBK, 2025). A published EPD makes heater substitutions simpler for architects and MEPs and shortens back‑and‑forth during submittals.

For distributors and wholesalers, a listed EPD also unlocks searches in digital tools used by consultants. That reduces the risk of being filtered out before anyone calls.

Where this places Adax vs peers

Closest category peers in electric space heating show a mixed picture. Ebeco AB publishes EPDs for electric heating cables, not wall‑mounted panel heaters, so coverage is adjacent rather than head‑to‑head. Ensto’s public EPDs center on electrical connectors and cable accessories, again not panel radiators. Stiebel Eltron shows no current, product‑specific EPDs for panel heaters in the main public directories as of today. Net effect is simple. Adax now shows up with product‑level data where many familiar names still do not, which is a real, compettitive edge in specs.

Program operator choice that travels

The declaration sits with EPD Norway, a widely recognized operator across the Nordics and part of the ECO Platform network. If your sales motion crosses borders, that logo familiarity helps buyers map the record to EN 15804 quickly. New to the operator landscape? Start here for a quick read on EPD‑Norge.

Company background in one minute

Adax designs and builds electric panel heaters for Nordic homes and light‑commercial spaces, with a portfolio that mixes award‑winning design and simple controls. The Neo line anchors that offer, making this first EPD immediately relevant to mainstream SKUs that specifiers actually request.

Website visibility check

We looked for the Neo Basic EPD on Adax’s product and sustainability pages and could not find a posted PDF or data‑sheet link at the time of writing. See the current Neo Basic product page for reference at adax.no and the sustainability overview here: Adax – Bærekraft & Miljø. Adding a clear “Environmental Product Declaration” link beside manuals and datasheets will make life easier for specifiers and procurement.

The takeaway

Adax has entered the transparency arena with a clean, product‑specific EPD for its flagship panel heater. In a category where many competitors lack heater‑level declarations, that single move can flip a maybe into a yes on Nordic projects that scrutinize embodied impacts. Keep the momentum by ensuring the EPD is easy to find online and by planning the next wave across related heater models. It’s a small lift that pays back fast when the short‑list gets tight.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which product did Adax cover in its first EPD and how broad is the scope?

The EPD covers the Adax Neo Basic panel heater. The title lists Neo Basic specifically and does not indicate a broad family scope, so treat it as model‑level unless the PDF groups variants explicitly.

Who verified and published Adax’s debut EPD?

EPD Norway is the program operator that issued the declaration, aligned with EN 15804 and ISO 14025 conventions.

Why does an EPD help sell heaters in Norway right now?

Norwegian projects often require greenhouse‑gas accounting, which pushes teams toward product‑specific, third‑party verified EPDs to avoid conservative defaults that can penalize selection (DiBK, 2025). Having the EPD ready removes friction in submittals and keeps the product competitive beyond price alone.

Do close competitors have similar EPD coverage today?

Not broadly for panel heaters. Ebeco focuses on heating‑cable EPDs, Ensto on electrical connectors, and Stiebel Eltron shows no current panel‑heater EPDs in the main public directories as of March 26, 2026.
