Inner linings are prefabricated elements used for on-site lining of drains and manholes. They usually serve to improve corrosion protection. Inner linings must be fixed durably and tightly to the drai

Infiltration elements form part of the property drainage system. They serve to store or retain rainwater. If infiltration elements are used on a property, it must be ensured that no dangers to the adj

Central heating appliances ( Sammel-Feuerstätten ) are heating appliances that heat a medium (usually heating water) and provide warmth to a building via the ductwork and radiators. They are not to be

The category of 'free-standing chimneys' also includes chimneys that are restrained or supported laterally or mounted on top of another structure. Special constructions

The work area 'Strengthening of concrete structures with bonded reinforcement' comprises kits for retrofitting aimed at increasing the flexural and shear resistance of existing concrete structures (st

Catalysts are used in firing systems to optimise the combustion processes and reduce the amount of harmful flue gas substances produced. Heating appliances, chimneys

For penetration-free fixing of photovoltaic systems or fall protection to the roof, the fixings can be bonded or welded to the roof waterproofing membrane. The roof waterproofing thus takes on a struc

Walk-on glazing is designed for foot traffic. A vertical imposed load of maximum 5 kN/m 2 is assumed under normal use conditions. Glazing accessible for maintenance and glazing with fall-through prote

Barrier glazing is glazing designed to prevent people from falling to a lower level. In the event of impact on the glazing, the risk of injury is supposed to be low. Furthermore, the lower-lying traff

Overhead glazing (also known as 'horizontal glazing') is understood to be glazing with an angle of inclination of more than 10° with respect to the vertical plane. With overhead glazing, it is assumed

With point supported glazing, the glass pane is mechanically fixed to the substructure either via point fasteners installed in drilled holes or via clamps (edge clamps). Point supported glazing is use

Amalgam separators serve to treat wastewater containing amalgam residues from treatment units in dental practices. Separator systems

Leakage detection systems are used for detecting leaks in storage and filling facilities for manure, slurry and silage effluent (MSS) and biogas storage and filling facilities (biogas SF facilities),

Sealing and monitoring systems (with plastic membranes) for use in storage, filling and handling facilities for substances hazardous to water (SFH facilities) usually consist of a multi-layer sealing

DIBt grants general construction technique permits (aBG) for floor and wall construction techniques which significantly deviate from the Technical Building Rules or for which no generally recognised t

Due to their thermally insulating effect, fire-protective render systems increase the fire-resistance duration of the clad components. The render system consists of a dry mortar, which is mixed with w

Reaction coatings are fire-stopping and fire-sealing products which, when exposed to high temperatures in case of fire, start reacting creating a thermally insulating effect which increases the resist

Intumescent products are fire-stopping and fire-sealing products which foam up or expands permanently when exposed to high temperatures which creates a fire-sealing effect. The expanded product seals

Ablation coatings are fire-stopping and fire-sealing products which are activated when exposed to high temperatures due to their chemical compositions. Chemical and/or physical reactions are triggered

Masonry mortar or bonding agents serve to produce masonry from masonry units. In most cases, masonry mortars are covered by EN 998-2. Masonry

Masonry wall elements are room-height and predominantly room-width prefabricated elements (including parapets and gables). The individual masonry wall elements are manufactured at the factory from mas

Masonry is made from masonry units bound by mortar or other bonding agents and possibly other accessories. Different techniques are used to produce masonry for different application areas. In many cas

Glass fibre reinforced plastic (GFRP) rebars are one example of non-metallic rebars. They are serrated to ensure sufficient bonding with the concrete. Reinforcements made of glass fibre reinforced pla

Plastic/sealing sheets and membranes for use in storage, filling and handling facilities for substances hazardous to water (SHF facilities) are manufactured to a specific thickness, laid loosely on th

Coating materials as well as coating and sealing systems are used for sealing collecting trays, collecting rooms and surfaces in storage, filling and handling facilities for substances hazardous to wa
