SPECIFIC PART
1. Technical description of the product
The Fabory MAXXFAST PROMAXX through bolt is an anchor made of zinc plated steel. The
Fabory MAXXFAST PROMAXX-G through bolt is an anchor made of sherardized steel. The anchors
are made in sizes M8, M10, M12, M16 and M20 and are placed into a drilled hole and anchored by
torque-controlled expansion.

The Fabory MAXXFAST PROMAXX and MAXXFAST PROMAXX-G anchors in the range of M8 to
M20 correspond to the pictures and provisions given in annexes A and B. The characteristic material
values, dimensions and tolerances of the anchors not indicated in annexes A and B shall correspond
to the respective values laid down in the technical documentations(1) of this European Technical
Assessment.

For the installation process see figure given in annex C; for the installed anchor see figure given in
annex D.

Each expansion sleeve is marked with the identifying mark of the producer, the trade name and
the anchor diameter; each anchor bolt is marked with the diameter (metric) and the total anchor
length. Additionally a letter mark on the anchor tip shows the length, according to annexes. A blue
colour ring marking identifies the embedment depth.

The performance of the anchors, including installation data, characteristic anchor values,
displacements and fire resistance, for the design of anchorages is given in chapter 3.

The anchors shall only be packaged and supplied as complete units.

2. Specification of the intended use in accordance with the applicable EAD.

2.1 Intended use

The anchors are intended to be used for anchorages for which requirements for mechanical
resistance and stability, safety in case of fire and safety and accessibility in use in the sense of the
basic requirements 1, 2 and 4 of Construction Product Regulation no 305/21011 shall be fulfilled and
failure of anchorages made with these products would compromise the stability of the works, cause
risk to human life and/or lead to considerable economic consequences.

The anchors are to be used only for anchorages subject to static or quasi-static loading in
reinforced or unreinforced normal weight concrete of strength class C20/25 to C50/60, according to
ENV 206: 1990-03. It may be anchored in cracked and non-cracked concrete.

The Fabory MAXXFAST PROMAXX and MAXXFAST PROMAXX-G anchors may only be used in
concrete subject to dry internal conditions.

The anchors may be used for anchorages with requirements related to resistance to fire.

The provisions made in this European Technical Assessment are based on an assumed working
life of the anchor of 50 years. The assumed working life is the foreseen period of time throughout
which the construction product, as installed into the construction work, will keep its performances
allowing the construction work, behaving under predictable actions and with normal maintenance, to
meet the basic requirements for construction works.

(1) The quality plan has been deposited at Instituto de Ciencias de la Construcción Eduardo Torroja and is only made available to the approved bodies
involved in the AVCP procedure.

The identification tests and the assessment for the intended use of this anchor according to the
basic work requirements (BWR) were carried out in compliance with the ETAG 001. The
characteristics of the components shall correspond to the respective values laid down in the technical
documentation of this ETA, checked by IETcc.

5. Technical details necessary for the implementation of the AVCP system, as provided for in
the applicable EAD

The ETA is issued for these anchors on the basis of agreed data/information which identifies the
product that has been assessed and judged. Detailed description and conditions of the manufacturing
process of the anchors, and all the relevant design and installation criteria of these anchors are
specified in the manufacturer’s technical documentation deposited with the IETcc. The main aspects
of this information are specified in the following sections. It is the manufacturer’s responsibility to
make sure that all those who use the anchors are appropriately informed of specific conditions
according to sections 1, 2, 4 and 5 including the annexes of this ETA.

5.1 Tasks of the manufacturer

5.1.1 Factory production control

The manufacturer has a factory production control system and shall exercise permanent internal
control of production. All the elements, requirements and provisions adopted by the manufacturer
shall be documented in a systematic manner in the form of written policies and procedures, including
records of results performed. This production control system shall insure that the product is in
conformity with this ETA.

The manufacturer shall only use raw materials supplied with the relevant inspection documents as
laid down in the quality plan(3). The incoming raw materials shall be subjected to controls by the
manufacturer before acceptance. Check of materials shall include control of the inspection documents
presented by suppliers by verifying dimension and material properties, e.g. chemical composition,
mechanical properties etc. The manufactured components are checked visually, for dimensions and
properties, where appropriate.

The quality plan which is part of the Technical Documentation of this ETA, includes details of the
extent, nature and frequency of testing and controls to be performed within the factory production
control and has been agreed between the assessment holder and IETcc. The results of factory
production control shall be recorded and evaluated in accordance with the provisions of the qualityl
plan. The records include at least the following information:

 Designation of the product, the basic materials and components;

 Type of control or testing and minimum frequencies of them;
 Date of manufacture of the product and date testing of the product or basic material and
components;
 Results of controls and testing and, if appropriate, comparison with requirements;
 Signature of person responsible for factory production control.

The records shall be presented to the notified body involved in the continuous surveillance. On
request, they shall be presented to the IETcc.

5.2 Tasks of notified bodies

5.2.1 Determination of the product-type on the basis of type testing

For type-testing the results of the tests performed as part of the assessment for the European
Technical Assessment shall be used unless there are changes in the production line or plant. In such
cases the necessary type testing has to be agreed between ETA holder and the notified body.

(3)
the quality plan has been deposited at IETcc and is only made available to the approval bodies involved in the ACVP procedure.

ETA 13/0730 of 16/07/2014 – Page 8 of 11

5.2.2 Initial inspection of factory and of factory production control

The notified body shall ascertain that, in accordance with the quality plan, the factory and the
factory production control are suitable to ensure continuous and orderly manufacturing of the product
according to the specifications mentioned in Annexes of this the European Technical Assessment.

5.2.3 Continuous surveillance, assessment and evaluation of factory production control

The notified body shall visit the factory at least once a year for regular inspection.

This continuous surveillance and assessment of factory production control have to be performed
according to the quality plan. The system of factory production control and the specified
manufacturing process have to be verified that they are maintained as the quality plan defined. The
results of product certification and continuous surveillance shall be made available on demand by the
product certification body or factory production control body, respectively, to IETcc. In cases where
the provisions of the European Technical Assessment and the quality plan are no longer fulfilled the
certificate of constancy of performance shall be withdrawn.
