EADs and ETAs
Currently, anchors and cast-in fixings are not covered by harmonised European standards (hEN) under the CPR. For timber screws, a harmonised standard EN 14592 exists, but it does not cover all aspects and applications of high-performance timber screws.
European Technical Assessment Documents (EADs) for construction Fixings are classified in the following Product Areas:
13 - Structural timber products, elements and ancillaries
16 - Reinforcing and prestressing steel for concrete and ancillaries, post tensioning kits
