It has been harmonized since February 2026: the first product standard specifically for permanent anchor systems under the Construction Products Regulation. But what exactly does it regulate - and what does it not? This presentation draws the crucial line between what the standard specifies about the product across Europe and what remains your responsibility - along with national regulations - in terms of planning, application, and positioning. You’ll go home with one sentence that will change your daily work: Product approval is not a free pass.
