  1. European Organisation • for Technical Approvals • Kunstlaan 40 Avenue des Arts • 1040 Brussels • Tel.: +32 2 502 69 00 • Fax: +32 2 502 38 14 • e-mail: info@eota.be • website: www.eota.be

  2. CPD 21/12/88 Goal: removal of technical barriers in the construction field Means: works must comply with the 6 Essential Requirements (ERs) transfer ERs to product requirements via Interpretative Documents (IDs) fix performances for products used in the works works comply with 6 ERs (product is fit for intended use = technical specifications) attestation of conformity of the product (various levels and possible actors: factory production control, inspection, testing, certification ...) put CE marking on the product CPD and ETAs

  3. CPD and ETAs CPD Construction product to market Recognized Nat. Tech. Specification ETAG ETA ETA without ETAG HARM STD AC CE marking

  4. Product for which: there is no harmonised standard there is no recognised national standard there is no mandate for a European standard the EC considers that a standard cannot or cannot yet be elaborated which differs significantly from harmonized or recognized national standards EC derogation, even when there is a mandate for a standard CPD and ETAsWhen ETA? < CPD(Art 8)

  5. ETA valid for 5 years in 17 member states of EU + EFTA mainly for innovative or products of a single producer ETA = an attestation of conformity or certification ETA = favourable technical assessment of the fitness for use of a product for an intended use, based on fulfilment of the essential requirements for building works for which the product is used. CPD and ETAs What is an ETA?

  6. 6 ERS FOR WORKS TO BE FOUND IN REGULATIONS OF M.S IDs for works /products ETAGs < mandate EC/EFTA CUAPs <direct input Approval Bodies which characterisitics to assess in ETAs in view of regulations on 6 ERs in M.S. and how to assess (harmonisation)

  7. ETA contains result of assessment including declared values 1 document valid for 17 countries, but by notion of “levels/classes” and “no performance determined option” ETA “a la carte” CE marking “a la carte” Conclusion: - regulator /user must verify if he can use the product for a particular intended use - regulator cannot demand more

  8. Example of Link ERs to IDs to product characteristics

  9. Greenlight for ETAG: consultation SCC On mandate of EC + EFTA Basic aim: ‘How to evaluate the specific characteristics / requirements of a product or family of products by all the members issuing ETAs for that area Binding documents Approval by EOTA Consultation SCC Publication by M.S. in their language(s) Coexistence period fixed by M.S.+EC Role and Content of ETA Guidelines (ETAG)

  10. Role and Content of ETAG • CONTENT SECTION ONE: INTRODUCTION 1 Preliminaries 2 Scope 3 Terminology SECTION TWO: GUIDANCE FOR THE ASSUMPTION OF THE FITNESS FOR USE 4 Requirements for the works (6 ERs 6 IDs Product characteristics) 5 Methods of verification (Characteristics Evaluation methods)

  11. Role and Content of ETAG SECTION TWO (cont’d) 6 Assessing and judging the fitness for use 7 Assumptions under which the fitness for use is to be assessed (manufacturing, installation, design, transport, storage, use, packaging, maintenance, repair) SECTION THREE : ATTESTATION OF CONFORMITY 8 Evaluation and attestation of conformity SECTION FOUR: ETA CONTENT

  12. I Legal basis and general conditions (pg. 2) CPD, national law, CPR, ETAG (if relevant) Rights of the Approval Body (e.g. checking, withdrawal) Duties of the holder (e.g. ETA validity in relation to manufacturing plants, ETA reproducing, advertising brochures) Content of ETA

  13. II Specific conditions (pg. 3 and following) 1. Definition of product and intended use - technical description - intended use - assumed working life 2. Characteristics of product and method of verification - characteristics and parameters of the products - other aspects of serviceability - requirements from other directives (if any) - methods for testing and verification - special test and assessment methods (if any) Content of ETA

  15. II Specific conditions (pg. 3 and foll.) 4. Assumptions under which the fitness for intended use was favourably assessed 4.1 Manufacturing - special techniques of manufacture and assembly - technical installation of the manufacturing plant - qualification of personnel 4.2 Installation - installation or assembly (e.g. instructions for executing personnel, necessary workmanship, parameters and methods for works’ design) Content of ETA

  16. II Specific conditions (pg. 3 and foll.) 5. Recommendations for the manufacturer 5.1 Packaging, transport and storage 5.2 Use, maintenance, repair Annexes 1.
