Construction - Application for type testing of structural systems with a specific system
Service Description
If you want to erect structures in the same design or with a specific system at several locations, you can obtain a permit for this type of structure under certain conditions.
A type approval can also be granted for structures that are to be erected in different designs but according to a specific system and from specific components at several locations (facilitation of serial and modular construction).
Who should I contact?
to the Building Inspection/Building Technology Department at the Thuringian State Administration Office
Competent authority
Type tests for structural systems or parts of structural systems are reserved exclusively for the testing authorities for stability. In Thuringia, this is the responsibility of the Building Inspection/Building Technology Department at the Thuringian State Administration Office.
What deadlines do I have to pay attention to?
The type test report can be issued for a maximum period of validity of five years. Within this period, the tested type statics can be used as often as required.
After expiry of the validity period, it is possible to apply for an extension. Provided that technical building regulations have not changed within this period and the applicant does not intend to make any individual adjustments to the type with regard to its application and design, there is generally nothing to prevent a short-term extension for a maximum of five further years.
An extension is only possible if the application is submitted before the deadline expires.
Legal basis
The legal basis for issuing a type test report is provided by the Thuringian Building Code (ThürBO) and the Thuringian Ordinance on Test Engineers and Test Experts (ThürPPVO).
Appeal
The application must be submitted informally in writing, stating the subject of the application and naming the author of the structural engineering documents.
What else should I know?
Any arrangements made in advance can help to reduce the processing time of the inspection and the resulting fee for you.
Type plans/sheets must be prepared in such a way that they describe the design completely and clearly and serve as a basis for manufacture and execution. All dimensions, materials and application regulations must be presented clearly and unambiguously in such a way that they can be assigned to the corresponding type for each individual case. The tested mathematical verification is generally no longer required when the construction is used.
We recommend commissioning structural engineers who already have experience with type testing to prepare the documents.
The design of structures or constructions on the basis of tests is not permitted for type tests.
