What is an EAD?
Together with the ETA, the EAD provides a pathway for manufacturers to obtain CE marking for construction products that are not, or not completely, covered by a harmonised European standard (hEN) under the Construction Products Regulation (EU) 305/2011. This CE marking allows manufacturers to market their products freely within the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and Turkey.
EADs offer numerous advantages to construction product manufacturers. Find out more here.
