Pipe insulation products
Pipe insulation products are used to insulate heating distribution and hot water pipes as well as cooling distribution and cold water pipes in buildings in accordance with the Buildings Energy Act (GEG).
Regulatory framework
Pipe insulation products are mostly covered by European product standards and can be used taking into account the Administrative Provisions – Technical Building Rules of the federal states (VV TB, compare the common model MVV TB), DIN 4108-4 and the Buildings Energy Act.
DIBt grants national technical approvals (abZ) and issues European Technical Assessments (ETAs) for pipe insulation products not covered by the existing standards.
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).

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.
