Construction products and techniques for temporary structures
Temporary structures are repeatedly erected and taken down. They include, for example, bleachers, tents and rides for fairgrounds. Temporary structures are special structures within the meaning of Section 2 of the Model Building Code (Musterbauordnung) and are hence relevant from a regulatory point of view.
Regulatory framework
Temporary structures do not fall under the Construction Products Regulation (Regulation (EU) No 305/2011). However, they are considered as structural works under national law in accordance with Section 2 of the Model Building Code.
DIBt grants national technical approvals (abZ) and/or general construction technique permits (aBG) in cases where the products or construction techniques deviate significantly from the applicable Technical Building Rules, cf. in particular MVV TB, Section B 2.1.
An example of such a case is if design assisted by testing is used to determine characteristic values in order to come to a more economical design solution for the temporary structures or if tests for verification of sufficient robustness are required.
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).
