What is an ETA?

The European Commission has determined for a large number of construction products that, based on a harmonized product standard (hEN), they must be marketed with CE marking. Is there no harmonized product standard (hEN) available for your product? Then you can use a European Assessment Document (EAD) and the corresponding European Technical Assessment (ETA) to have the most important properties of the product laid down in an ETA by SKG-IKOB. If an ETA has been issued for your product, then you may provide your product with CE marking. Drafting an ETA is not legally required, but may contribute to the acceptance of your product.

The procedure for obtaining an ETA (European Technical Assessment) is through EOTA (European Organization for Technical Assessment), SKG-IKOB is a member of it. We issue ETAs on a number of product areas and products.
