Construction products detail
Thermoplastic tanks
Thermoplastic tanks are especially suitable for storing certain liquids hazardous to water because they often have a more favourable corrosion behaviour than metal tanks and hence are resistant to various storage media (chemicals).
Regulatory framework
For thermoplastic tanks not covered by the harmonised part of DIN EN 13341, DIBt grants national technical approvals (abZ), usually in combination with general construction technique permits (aBG) for the application.
The national technical approvals/general construction technique permits for these products and construction techniques confirm that both the construction and water law requirements have been met. The products and construction techniques are thus deemed to be suitable in accordance with Section 63 of the Water Resources Act (WHG).
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).
