What is an ETA? Your complete guide to SKG IKOB

The European Commission has established for several construction products that, based on a harmonized product standard (hEN), they must be marketed with CE marking. But what if no harmonized product standard (hEN) is available for your product? In such cases, SKG-IKOB offers the possibility of using a European Assessment Document (EAD) and the corresponding European Technical Assessment (ETA) to establish the essential characteristics of the product.

What is an ETA and why is it essential?

Definition: An ETA, or European Technical Assessment, is a document that evaluates the performance of a construction product in relation to its essential characteristics.
Importance: An ETA allows a manufacturer to demonstrate the performance of its product and provide the product with CE marking. Although preparing an ETA is not required by law, it can help gain market acceptance of your product.

How do you obtain an ETA from SKG IKOB?

The process for obtaining an ETA (European Technical Assessment) goes through EOTA (European Organization for Technical Assessment). SKG-IKOB is a proud member of EOTA and we issue ETAs for various product categories and specific products.
