Are heat pumps integrated in air handling units in scope of the regulation?

Depending on the intended use of the heat pump and on how it is marketed they are either in scope or they are out of scope.

When the intended use of the heat pump is space heating for the thermal comfort of human beings or when the heat pump is marketed as such, it is in scope of the regulation. Otherwise, it is not.
