Terrace pedestals are not covered by European standards and therefore cannot be marked with the CE mark. You can read more information about the requirements for CE marking here<\/a>. The EOTA<\/a> organization is currently developing guidelines for testing methods of terrace pedestals for manufacturers, called the EAD document - harmonized technical specification. Once this document is adopted by the European Commission, all manufacturers will be required to present the parameters and declaration of conformity of their products in a consistent manner, supported by obtaining the European Technical Assessment (ETA). Until the EAD document is adopted, each manufacturer independently determines the parameters and testing methods for their products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a responsible manufacturer, we have numerous laboratory tests, test reports, and detailed studies regarding our products. All tests are conducted by the independent Institute of Building Technology<\/a> (ITB).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike some manufacturers who present incomplete and incorrect test reports, we thoroughly test and analyze the strength of our products and have numerous independent studies confirming this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are also aware of cases where dishonest manufacturers present strength test reports with results that differ from the actual ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
