ETAG (European Technical Approval Guidelines)

ETAG, or European Technical Approval Guidelines, are detailed standards used in the European Union to evaluate and approve new construction products and systems. They ensure that products meet consistent safety, quality, and performance criteria before being marketed across member countries. ETAGs provide a clear framework for manufacturers and authorities to assess properties like durability, fire resistance, or insulation, helping improve building safety and sustainability. They facilitate a unified approval process, reducing trade barriers, and ensuring that innovative construction solutions are reliable and compliant with European regulations.
