                     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 25 European Assessment Documents.

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