    In short

    EAD 120109-00-0107 is the EOTA European Assessment Document for nosing expansion joints for road bridges. Amstelfy Technical Solutions tests bridge expansion joints against this EAD in its ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratory in Amstelveen (NAC-037-TL): load-bearing capacity (static and fatigue), movement capacity, watertightness and durability of elastomer and steel components. The test reports follow the EAD clause structure so a Technical Assessment Body can use them directly for the European Technical Assessment; Amstelfy does not issue ETAs itself. Within its ISO/IEC 17065 scope (NAC-026-PPS) Amstelfy can also act as the product certification body for this product family.

    What we assess

    • load-bearing capacity (static and fatigue)
    • movement capacity
    • watertightness
    • durability of elastomer and steel components
    • skid resistance and noise (where claimed)

    Products covered

    • bridge expansion joints

    Route to market

    Products covered by an EAD are placed on the EU market with a European Technical Assessment issued by a Technical Assessment Body (TAB), followed by the AVCP tasks of a Notified Body and the manufacturer's Declaration of Performance and CE marking. Amstelfy performs the assessment tests, prepares the test reports in the EAD's clause structure and coordinates the test plan with the TAB; Amstelfy does not issue ETAs.
