4 Assumptions under which the fitness of the<br />
product for the intended use was favourably<br />
assessed<br />
4.1 Manufacturing<br />
The angle brackets are manufactured in accordance<br />
with the provisions of the <strong>European</strong> <strong>Technical</strong><br />
<strong>Approval</strong> using the automated manufacturing process<br />
as identified during the inspection of the plant by<br />
<strong>ETA</strong>-<strong>Danmark</strong> A/S and the notified body and laid<br />
down in the technical documentation.<br />
4.2 Installation<br />
The nailing pattern used shall be either the maximum<br />
or the minimum pattern as defined in Annex A.<br />
Wane under the flaps of the angle bracket is allowed<br />
provided it does not occur under the nails. Wane can<br />
reduce the load-bearing capacity of the connection.<br />
Thomas Bruun<br />
Manager, <strong>ETA</strong>-<strong>Danmark</strong><br />
A gap between the connector and the timber member<br />
is not allowed. However, where the angle bracket is<br />
used for a connection between a beam and a column a<br />
gap of 5 mm is allowed.<br />
The execution of the connection shall be in<br />
accordance with the approval holder’s technical<br />
literature.<br />
4.3 Maintenance and repair<br />
Maintenance is not required during the assumed<br />
intended working life.<br />
Should repair prove necessary, it is normal to replace<br />
the angle bracket.
