Why is there no EAD published for your ETA? Why do you still refer to an ETAG in your DoP?
The implementation of the Construction Products Regulation and its practical consequences on the products, challenges manufacturers and their customers. Even the most informed SME knows how hard is it to prove to its customers that its answers are the right ones. Drafting explanatory documents with patchworks of CPR articles is sometimes time-consuming and it is often not enough: ‘I have been told something different by someone else’ is a far from uncommon response.
That’s why members asked ECAP to structure a resource programme of reliable, first-hand information, at a European level, on the regulatory and normative framework of their products.
This year ECAP will launch a series of webinars to respond to the most frequent questions asked by designers and customers who are interested in the normative and legal framework of concrete, masonry and wood fasteners. Issues will range from the products’ legal framework, with some updates on the status quo of the CPR implementation, to the transfer of ETAGs into EADs, and the revision of Eurocodes and CEN standards.
These will be live webinars. Invitations to participants will come from ECAP members and in order to access them, registration will be required. At the end of each presentation there will be a Q&A session, to reply to the participants’ questions. For the moment, they will be in English, but the service will probably develop to include other languages.
