It is no longer an issue, as it was in the past, of setting forth detailed technical specifications for the creation of “Europroducts”, but it is a method of establishing general requirements and essential indications concerning safety, health, the environment, and consumer protection.The directives of the new approach also make the respect of “essential requirements” obligatory, as well as the placement of a visual symbol that demarcates products that conform to these requirements: the “CE marking”. These directives reflect synchronized European standards, which translate essential requirements into technical specifications. CSTB Technical EvaluationThe Technical Evaluation is delivered by the "Commission responsible for compiling Technical Evaluations " (created in application of the decree of December 2 1969). This replaces the former CSTB Agreement.About twenty expert groups representing builders manage the delivery of ATec and DTA in the widest fields of application: structures, thermal and acoustic insulation, water treatment, floor surfacing, windows, climatic engineering installations… The Technical Evaluation is intended to provide all participants in the construction process with an authorized opinion on new products, procedures, and equipment, and to define their usage. It principally indicates in what capacity the procedure or product: • satisfies active regulations, • is suitable for on-site use, • has durable characteristics.
