    In short

    EAD 160004-00-0301 is the EOTA European Assessment Document for post-tensioning kits for prestressing of structures. Amstelfy Technical Solutions tests bonded and unbonded PT kits, anchorages, couplers, ducts against this EAD in its ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratory in Amstelveen (NAC-037-TL): static load test, fatigue (load transfer and anchorage), load transfer test and assembly and corrosion protection checks. 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. Exclusion on the accreditation scope: Cryogenic test C.2.2 excluded.

    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.
