The European Approval Union

UEAtc brings together the officially recognised national approval bodies in order to achieve the goals of technical approval.

UEAtc does so by :

- bringing together at European level the scientific and practical know how of the members on construction in general and on national construction practices in particular,

- by practising reciprocal recognition of approvals through confirmations which adapt the original approval to the various national requirements,

- by offering to manufacturers a collective service through common approval guidelines, confirmation dialogue and by multilateral confirmations called Euro-Agréments.

Technical Approval, Confirmation and Euro-Agrément include the appropriate indications for correct use, design and installation, comprising reference to the applicable national regulatory provisions as well as to current national practices.
