AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This regulation defines the mandatory format for European Technical Assessments (ETAs) under the new Construction Products Regulation (EU) 2024/3110. It requires ETAs to be divided into a general part containing administrative and identification data, and a specific technical part detailing product performance. The format supports both printable and structured machine-readable versions to enable digital processing. Manufacturers may designate certain product information as confidential, which must then be placed in separate annexes not publicly disclosed with the ETA. The regulation ensures consistency with EADs and digitalisation guidelines, specifying exact fields such as ETA code, manufacturer details, performance results using SI units, and responsible person identification.
