Internationally Certified Post Tensioning, now in India
The Post-tensioning systems for use in the European Community are required to have a European Technical Assessment, which is based on a set of defined testing procedures that must be fulfilled. Once the post-tensioning systems are placed on the market, they are subjected to factory production control and independent and continuous surveillance.
Post-tensioning kits must be installed by trained Post-Tensioning Specialist Companies to ensure professional and system-conforming installation.
With the introduction of the Eurocode and according to the European Construction Products Directive – (CPD), construction products used in the European Community (EC) are required to carry “CE marking” – a
mandatory conformity mark. CE stands for Conformité Européenne – “European conformity”. Post-tensioning kits can only carry CE marking if a European Technical Assessment (ETA) has been obtained from a nominated Approval Body and after an EC – Certificate of Conformity has been obtained from an eligible Approved / Notified Body.
As of 2008, use of CE marked post-tensioning systems has been mandatory throughout the whole of Europe and use of the Eurocode is mandatory from 2010 onwards. The provisions made for European approved post-tensioning kits are based on an assumed intended working life of the post tensioning system of 100 years.
BBR with its partner Aergon shall be providing these ETA approved systems in India. All the Systems shall be manufactured in India as per ETA guidelines and CE marking (Third Party Audited).
