For a first assessment, please send us the following information:

  • e.g. material, configuration, number of sizes, variants, dimensions
  • e.g. use in walls, ceilings, interior construction, building services
• Description of the construction technique and its field of application
  • e.g. design of walls, ceilings, elements, etc., and interaction of components
  • e.g. application in foundation engineering, reinforced concrete construction, building insulation; as load-bearing or non-load-bearing component; under static and quasi-static loading; fire exposure; other environmental exposures
• Information regarding impact on regulatory concerns
  • in particular structural integrity, fire protection, health and environment protection, sound insulation as well as thermal performance
• Explanation of need for an abZ/aBG
  • Do you significantly deviate from the Technical Building Rules?
