05.05	Chosen option A or B for heating systems (inspection or other measures)	Comment
Austria	Option A

Czech Republic	Inspections
Denmark	B
Estonia	B
Finland	Model B, alternative measures	Status at the end of 2019
France	It depends on the system’s effective rated output
Germany	Other, equivalent measures	Option B This choice was made considering the long tradition of system requirements in Germany (thermostatic valves, pipe insulation, time- and weather-driven controls), the compulsory measurement scheme for flue-gas losses and pollutants of boilers, established since 1982 and the mandatory update requirements concerning the replacement of old boilers and the insulation of heat distribution and hot water pipework. Since these measures were already in place when the EPBD was due for transposition, a further inspection scheme was not considered necessary.
