ECTP Conference Brussels, November 17-18, 2016

Introduction


European Organisation for Technical Assessment


Within the framework of the implementation of the Construction Products

Regulation (EU) No 305/2011

co-ordinate the Technical Assessment Bodies

develop and adopt European Assessment Documents (EADs)

support members in preparing and issuing European Technical Assessments

(ETAs)

promote the exchange of best practices to increase efficiency and provide a

better service to industry

make adopted EADs and references to ETAs publicly available

inform the European Commission and the Standing Committee for

Construction of any questions related to the preparation of EADs and

suggest improvements

ensure cooperation and consultation with other stakeholders

EOTA Tasks


Why is the ETA so important?

ETA provides an alternative route to CE marking when there is no

harmonised European standard (hEN).

This is especially important for:

innovative construction products,

specialist or ‘niche‘ products for which the development of a

harmonised standard is not an option,

products where CEN procedures are hindered or impaired by

conflicts of interest.

Advantages of an ETA

ETA is the only tailor-made assessment procedure available for construction

products that offers access to the entire internal market.

Objective, independent assessment ensures the trust of customers.

Harmonised declaration of product performance ensures transparency and

fair competition.

AVCP systems comparable to the ones under harmonised standards guarantee

constancy of performance.

Assessment procedure often leads to product optimisation.

Improved company image through CE marking, especially for small

manufacturers with less known brands.


According to a study commissioned by the European Commission

The benefits of requesting an ETA far

outweigh its costs.

Manufacturers, who have obtained an

ETA, would do so again!

The ETA procedure is also accessible to

small and medium enterprises (SMEs).

CE marking helps boost product sales.


More than 140 EADs adopted as basis for the issuing of ETAs

To date October 2016 some 2271 ETAs issued since end of June 2013,

tendency strongly increasing

By November 2016 71 EADs are cited in OJEU (2016-10-14), some of them

already in an amended version

Some figures


EOTA’s priorities with regard to ETAs

Promoting the use of ETAs as a voluntary, independent

and harmonised product assessment among

manufacturers

Further improving the ETA procedure (processing times

have already been cut considerably!)

Promoting the use of ETA assessed construction

products by providing additional technical specifications

in the form of Technical Reports (TRs).

ETAs are a fast route to CE marking.

In comparison to the CEN route, the EOTA route provides tailor-made

assessments for manufacturers.

With ETAs, manufacturers can provide a documented technical

assessment of the construction product in addition to the declaration of

performance (DoP) and CE marking.

Benefits outweigh the costs (also for SMEs).

Strengthening of the role of Technical Reports is envisaged in order to

have a link between ETAs and the end use conditions in construction

works.

Future EADs and ETAs should also cover product characteristics

related to BWR 7. For this purpose EOTA has established a Project

Team (PT 12).
