Nanjing SMART : The Relationship between EU ETA Certification, CPR Regulations, and CE Certification
Latest Interpretation by Nanjing SMART in 2024: The Relationship between EU ETA Certification, CPR Regulations, and CE Certification
√ SMART is familiar with the EU CPR regulations, allowing your products to take the express train to the EU market
The relationship between EU ETA certification and CE certification is very complex, and Nanjing SMART Company SMART succinctly outlines the relationship between ETA certification and CE marking. Due to many products not falling within the certification scope of the European unified standard, they are rated as innovative products, and the CE mark of such products can only be applied through ETA. For more information on the European ETA certification process and requirements for building materials, please consult the SMART ETA certification engineer at +86 25-8658 3475.
The relationship between ETA certification and CPR regulatory CE certification
Under the CPR, harmonised technical specifications are harmonised European product standards (hENs) established by CEN/CENELEC or European Assessment Documents (EADs) produced by the European
European Organisation for Technical Approvals (EOTA) as the basis for issuing ETAs for products not covered by hENs.The harmonised technical specification for a product defines EEA-wide methods of assessing and declaring
√What is ETA certification?
The European Technical Assessment (ETA) is a documented evaluation of the performance of building products, related to their basic characteristics. This is the definition given by the "CE Certified Building Product Regulation" (CPR Regulation (EU) No 305/2011), which governs the marketing of building products in the European Economic Area. ETA provides manufacturers with an independent CE mark to mark their innovative non-standard building products.
√ How to obtain an ETA certificate?
If the construction product does not have or does not fully cover any unified European standards (EN), and the evaluation methods and standards are specified in the European Evaluation Document (EAD), an ETA can be issued.
Therefore, the European Assessment Document (EAD) forms the basis for European technology assessment. It includes methods for evaluating products and specifications for the system, used to evaluate and verify the performance certification system (AVCP system) to be applied. If the relevant products are not fully covered by the existing EAD, EOTA will develop new or adapted European assessment documents.
√ Who can obtain ETA and who can issue it?
Manufacturers of non-standard building products (or their authorized representatives) can obtain ETAs from technical evaluation agencies (TABs) designated under the Building Product Regulations.
√ Where is ETA effective?
ETA is valid in all EU member states and the European Economic Area, as well as Switzerland and Türkiye. But it is also often accepted as a technical document for other parts of the world.
√ What is the evaluation process for CE marking based on ETA?
The certification of CE marks based on ETA is quite complex. As many products do not fall within the scope of certification under the European unified standard, they are rated as innovative products. The CE mark of such products can only be applied through ETA.. For specific information, please contact the SMART ETA certification engineer at 025-8658 3475.
