Anchor channels

An anchor channel is a fastening system that consists of a channel profile with permanently attached anchors and channel bolts. The channel profile with the anchors is fastened to the formwork prior to concreting and then cast in. The anchor channel is anchored in concrete through a form-fit between the anchor and the concrete member. The element to be attached is later fastened to the embedded channel profile with the channel bolt. The bolt head transmits the loads via the channel lips into the channel profile. There are channels with smooth channel lips and bolt heads and channels with serrated channel lips and bolt heads. Anchor channels allow flexible fastening along the channel axis.

Regulatory framework

DIBt grants national technical approvals (abZ) for anchor channels. European Technical Assessments (ETAs) can also be issued.

Furthermore, DIBt grants general construction technique permits (aBG) for construction techniques comprising anchor channels 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

To prepare an abZ/aBG for your construction product, we need an application from you. We recommend that you contact us prior to doing so. Feel free to send us your enquiry informally via email to dibt(at)dibt(.)de or to the competent technical contact listed in the top right.

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

  • Description of the construction product and its intended field of use
    • 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
  • Contact details
    • preferably email address and/or telephone number, as well as name, organisation/company, and postal address

We will then contact you to clarify the next steps.

If you already hold a DIBt approval and/or construction technique permit and wish to apply for an amendment, supplement, or renewal, please use the form provided 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.
