Basic knowledge of fastening technology Legal basis. The European Union (EU) determines the legal foundation for the assessment, CE labelling and bringing building products into the European Economic Area (EEA). The aim is to reduce trade barriers by harmonising the requirements of building products. REGULATION (EU) No 305/2011 (Construction Products Regulations) OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND COUNCIL fully came into force on 1st July 2013. The Construction Products Regulation is law in all EU countries. However, the Construction Product Directive 89/106 / EEC is not law in all EU countries. Construction products are products, or parts which are permanently incorporated into buildings. Their performance influences the structure’s basic requirements (e. g. mechanical strength). Therefore, construction products and materials for safetly relevant applications are affected. Important building requirements include: The CE mark is the only means to certify whether the manufacturer has conformed to the applicable harmonised requirements of construction products. The CE label allows the construction product to be freely traded without trade barriers in the European Economic Area. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Mechanical strength and stability Fire protection Hygiene, health and environmental protection Safety and accessibility during use Sound protection Energy saving and heat protection Sustainable use of natural resources When a construction product is covered by a harmonised standard (hEN), or a European Technical Assessment or Approval (ETA) has been issued for this product, the manufacturer is obligated to draw up a Declaration of Performance (DoP) for this product and affix the CE marking on the product. The application for an ETA for a construction product by the manufacturer is voluntary. National approvals may only be issued if a construction product is not marked with a CE label. Each Member State determines the essential characteristics for use of the construction product and its performance in its territory. The unrestricted use of a construction product in a Member State depends on whether performance values exist in the DoP for the essential characteristics determined by the Member State. If one characteristic is declared with “NPD“ (No Performance Determined), this can lead to a ban on use in a Member State. Therefore, each member State must establish Product Contact Points, which will provide information on these regulations. In Germany, this is the Federal Institute for Material Research and Testing (BAM: see www.pcp.bam.de). Existing European Technical Approvals (ETA) are valid until the end of the validity date and will be amended with the Declaration of Performance (DoP) by the manufacturer from the due date. The reference number of the DoP is part of the CE marking and must be determined by the manufacturer. The Declarations of Performance (DoP) are available on the fischer website under “Approvals/Assessments”: http://www.fischer.de/sdb. 661 16
