EOTA and Construction Sector Overview
The European Organisation for Technical Assessment (EOTA) plays a key role in the CE marking of construction products, ensuring compliance with EU regulations. EOTA coordinates Technical Assessment Bodies (TABs) and stakeholders, supports the development of European Assessment Documents (EADs), and maintains transparency within the construction sector. Through various bodies and stakeholder involvement, EOTA contributes to the harmonization of standards and the efficient functioning of the European construction market.

Cooperation among TABs as from 50s. 1990 Foundation of EOTA. Construction Products directive (89/106/EEC) - CPD 2013 came into force CPR - European Organisation for Technical Assessment (2011/305/EU) 2019 EOTA represents 52 TABs designated by European Member States (EEA, Turkey y Switzerland)
EOTA and construction sector Art 31.4 Construction Product Regulation (CPR) regarding EOTA: a. Coordination of TABs and Stakeholders. b. Ensure best practice. c. Procedures and support for the EADs development. d. Develop and adopt EADs. e. Inform about EADs and suggest improvements based on experience gained. f. Inform EC / MS about a TAB not fulfilling its tasks. g. Public availability of EADs and ETAs. 4

Objectives of EOTA Support innovation Promote free circulation of construction products Facilitate competitiveness in the construction industry 12
European Assessment Documents (EAD) EADs provide several advantages over standardisation process: Develop in parallel and in connection to the specific construction product (tailor-made); The manufacturer great influence in the final EAD; Confidentiality during the EAD development; it is possible collaboration with professional associations; Development of the EAD in an expert Working Group on the specific construction field (36 PAC - Product Area Codes); There is no need for mandate of the European Commission; Defined deadlines for the EAD adoption. 13
European Assessment Documents (EAD) Development of EADs and ETAs are an opportunity and not an obligation (hEN); The manufacturer does not support any cost related to the EADs development; Coherence between EADs and hEN (EADs include harmonised test at European level). 14

Why ETAs? ETAs provide an alternative and voluntary route for the CE marking: Innovative products, Niche products, Characteristics of the product not included on hENs ETAs promote transparency as part of the harmonised scheme for the essential characteristics of construction products (DoP) ETAs are a relevant tool to promote free circulation of construction products AVCP similar to hEN guaranteeing DoP The Assessment process supports the optimization of the construction products CE marking improves manufacturer s visibility
Assessment Report of the European Commission Benefits of the ETA overcome their costs. Manufacturers who obtain ETA, request for new ones. ETAs are accessible to SMEs. CE marking improves manufacturer s sales. Source: DIBt, Berlin 19
