GENERAL PROVISIONS

I
National technical approval certifies that the object of approval can be used and/or employed
1
within the meaning of the German state building codes.
Where national technical approval requires special knowledge and experience from persons
2
responsible for manufacturing construction products and design types pursuant to § 17
Para. 5 of the Model Building Code in German state regulations, it should be noted that this
specialist knowledge and experience can be attested by equivalent documentation issued by
other Member States of the European Union. This also applies to attestations provided within
the context of the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community (EEC) or other
bilateral agreements, if applicable.
National technical approval does not replace the permits, approvals and certifications
3
required by law in connection with the realisation of building proposals.
National technical approval is granted without prejudice to the rights of third parties,
4
particularly in respect of private property rights.
Without prejudice to more extensive regulations contained in the "Special Provisions", the
5
manufacturers and distributors of the object of approval shall make copies of the national
technical approval available to indirect and direct users of the object of approval and shall
inform them that the national technical approval must be present at the site of use of the
object. Copies of the national technical approval shall be made available to the relevant
authorities on request.
The national technical approval may only be reproduced in its entirety. Publication of excerpts
6
requires permission from the German Institute for Structural Engineering (Deutsches Institut
für Bautechnik - DIBt). Text and drawings used in advertising must not contradict the national
technical approval. Translations of the national technical approval must bear the notice: "This
is a translation of the German original and has not been reviewed by the Deutsches Institut
für Bautechnik."
The national technical approval can be revoked at any time. The provisions of the national
7
technical approval may subsequently be amended or supplemented, particularly if required
by new technical findings.
