            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2023/424
of 24 February 2023
         
amending Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/450 as regards the publication of references of European Assessment Documents for special drawn sheet glass and other construction products
(Text with EEA relevance)


THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,


Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2011 laying down harmonised conditions for the marketing of construction products and repealing Council Directive 89/106/EEC (1), and in particular Article 22 thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


In accordance with Regulation (EU) No 305/2011, Technical Assessment Bodies are to use methods and criteria provided in European Assessment Documents, the references of which have been published in the Official Journal of the European Union, for assessing performance of construction products covered by those documents in relation to their essential characteristics.












(2)


In accordance with Article 19 of Regulation (EU) No 305/2011, following several requests by manufacturers for European Technical Assessments, the organisation of Technical Assessment Bodies has drawn up and adopted 10 European Assessment Documents.












(3)


The European Assessment Documents that have been drawn up and adopted by the organisation of Technical Assessment Bodies relate to the following construction products:






—


special drawn sheet glass;










—


rectangular geogrid for the stabilization of unbound granular layers under applied load;










—


boards made from recycled beverage cartons for use in construction;










—


headed reinforcing steel bars (superseding technical specification ‘EAD 160012-00-0301’);










—


combined penetration seals for fire dampers;










—


glass, basalt, aramid, carbon, PBO (polyparaphenylene benzobisoxazole) and steel rovings for fibre-reinforced anchor spikes;










—


polyurethane (PU) foam mat or polyester fibre mat to be used for impact sound insulation (superseding technical specification ‘EAD 040049-00-0502’);










—


in-situ loose fill thermal and/or acoustic insulation products made of vegetable fibres to be used in floor constructions without additional load-bearing structures;










—


power-actuated fastener in concrete for redundant non-structural applications (superseding technical specification ‘EAD 330083-02-0601’);










—


thermal insulation and sound absorbing rendering/plastering.
















(4)


The European Assessment Documents that have been drawn up and adopted by the organisation of Technical Assessment Bodies satisfy the demands to be met in relation to the basic requirements for construction works set out in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 305/2011. It is therefore appropriate to publish the references to those European Assessment Documents in the Official Journal of the European Union.












(5)


The list of references to European Assessment Documents for construction products is published pursuant to Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/450 (2). For reasons of clarity, references to new European Assessment Documents should be added to that list.












(6)


Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/450 should therefore be amended accordingly.












(7)


In order to enable the use of the European Assessment Documents as early as possible, this Decision should enter into force on the day of its publication,





HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:



Article 1
Annex to Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/450 is amended in accordance with Annex to this Decision.


Article 2
This Decision shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.




Done at Brussels, 24 February 2023.


For the Commission


The President

Ursula VON DER LEYEN
