Headed bolts, headed studs

Headed bolts are made of round steel or reinforcing steel bars. The bars are headed at one end. A thread is rolled on or cut at the other end of the bar. The end can also be prepared for welding on of, e.g., an anchor plate. Headed fasteners are embedded in concrete and anchored in the concrete through form-fitting of the bolt heads. Structural steel members or precast reinforced concrete members can be connected to the threads protruding from the concrete. Additional structural steel members can be welded to the anchor plates, which are usually embedded in the concrete flush with the surface.

Regulatory framework

DIBt grants national technical approvals (abZ) for headed bolts and studs. European Technical Assessments (ETAs) can also be issued.

Furthermore, DIBt grants general construction technique permits (aBG) for construction techniques comprising headed bolts and studs for which there are no conclusive technical rules.

Please also refer to the applicable design and execution rules, cf., in particular, MVV TB, Part A 1 and Annex 2, as well as the following information and technical rules.

DIN EN 1992-4:2019-04 Eurocode 2 - Design of concrete structures - Part 4: Design of fastenings for use in concrete

DIN EN 1992-4/NA:2019-04 National Annex - Nationally determined parameters - Eurocode 2: Design of concrete structures - Part 4: Design of fastenings for use in concrete

National procedure

A national technical approval (abZ) and/or oder general construction technique permit (aBG) is granted upon application (see Model Building Code (MBO), Sections 16a(2) and18(2) and (4)). This also applies to amendments and supplements to, or renewals of existing approvals and/or construction technique permits.

No formal requirements apply. The following information is needed: name and address of the applicant, description of the product and/or construction technique and its field of use or application, type of decision required (new decision, amendment or supplement to, or renewal of, an existing decision).

Please feel free to use the template below.

European Technical Assessment (ETA)

To start the ETA procedure, please submit the form below. We will then check if the prerequisites for issuing an ETA are met, i.e., in particular, if the product is not fully covered by an existing harmonised standard. If the prerequisites are met, we will check whether a European Assessment Document (EAD) covering the requested assessment scope already exists or still needs to be developed. If an EAD needs to be developed or amended, a complete technical file needs to be established before the procedure can begin.
