What is a raveel/girdle shoe and what trials are there for it?

A joist / purlin hanger is a support structure used to mount a wooden beam, such as a joist or purlin beam, on or to masonry.
Our accreditation applies to tests for products that fall within the scope of product standard NEN-EN 845-1+A1, Specifications for ancillary products for stone structures - Part 1: Cavity anchors, wall anchors, joist / purlin hanger and support products.

The tests for determining the load-bearing capacity and deformation under load of raveel/girdle shoes are carried out, as prescribed from this product standard, on the basis of the test standard NEN-EN 846-8+A1 Test methods for ancillary products for stone structures - Part 8: Determination of the load-bearing capacity and load deformation behavior of beam girders.

SKG-IKOB is also accredited to perform testing on these ancillary masonry products: cavity anchors, brackets (support products) and lintels.
