II SPECIAL CONDITIONS OF THE<br />
EUROPEAN TECHNICAL APPROVAL<br />
1 Definition of product and intended use<br />
Definition of the product<br />
<strong>Dolle</strong> modular staircases type Graz, Berlin, Columna, New<br />
York, Hamburg, Rome and Basel (in this <strong>ETA</strong> also referred<br />
to as stair) are prefabricated staircases.<br />
Staircase type Copenhagen is a version of type Berlin with<br />
12 steps. Type Copenhagen is technically identical to type<br />
Berlin; the only difference is the specific number of steps<br />
and the trade name.<br />
The stair consists of string elements on which the steps are<br />
mounted. Additional angles and columns can be installed<br />
for extra support (required if specified in the technical<br />
documentation of the product). Steps can either be in<br />
regular shapes or in tapered shapes, in quarter, half and full<br />
turns the steps are always tapered. The steps are made of<br />
solid wood, which can be either massive, laminated or<br />
plywood or glass or steel. The string elements are made of<br />
steel or aluminium. The optional banister can be made as a<br />
combination of solid wood, metal balusters, tube filling or<br />
other kinds of filling, such as a wire banister. As<br />
connectors between parts of the railing can be used<br />
different types of fittings made of steel, aluminium or<br />
plastic. The banister does not contribute to the load bearing<br />
capacity of the stair and is not intended to withstand any<br />
impact loads. However, if required in the technical<br />
documentation of the stair the banister can be considered as<br />
a structural member. Since the banister is not necessarily a<br />
part of the kit, the resistance to horizontal loads is not<br />
determined. The torsional force in the string resulting from<br />
a horizontal load on the barrier/handrail has to be<br />
calculated on a case by case basis depending on the<br />
prevailing national provisions for this type of stair kit.<br />
The centre string modules consist of a bottom element to<br />
be fixed on a proper floor, standard elements and a top<br />
element to be fixed on the wall or the deck of the upper<br />
floor. The string modules can be fixed to each other<br />
according to the different structural principles illustrated<br />
in annex 1 and can be installed to meet the various types<br />
of plans illustrated in annex 2. According to the types of<br />
plan it can be either straight, curved, S-shaped, helical or<br />
square with 1 or more quarter turns according to the<br />
documentation of the product.<br />
Intended use<br />
The <strong>Modular</strong> staircase may be used as an indoor staircase<br />
in buildings of category A, EN 1991-1-1:2002 with air<br />
temperatures between +5 and +30°C and relative air<br />
humidity between 30 and 70%.<br />
<strong>Modular</strong> staircases are used as permanent access to living<br />
areas.<br />
<strong>Dolle</strong> <strong>Modular</strong> staircases are defined as means of internal<br />
access under the category “floors” because this type of<br />
staircase is for use in private homes as opposed to stairs,<br />
which are used as external access in larger building<br />
complexes.<br />
Assumed working life<br />
The assumed intended working life of the stair kits for the<br />
intended use is 25 years, provided that they are subject to<br />
appropriate use and maintenance.<br />
The information on the working life should not be regarded<br />
as a guarantee provided by the manufacturer or <strong>ETA</strong>-<br />
<strong>Danmark</strong> A/S. An “assumed intended working life” means<br />
that it is expected that, when this working life has elapsed,<br />
the real working life may be, in normal use conditions,<br />
considerably longer without major degradation affecting<br />
the essential requirements.

2 Characteristics of product and assessment<br />
2.1 General<br />
The <strong>Modular</strong> staircases correspond to the drawings and data of annexes 1 - 12. The material values, dimensions and<br />
tolerances of the components of the <strong>Modular</strong> staircase not indicated in the annexes shall correspond to the values<br />
laid in the technical documentation 4 .<br />
2.2 Mechanical resistance and stability<br />
2.2.1 General<br />
The <strong>Modular</strong> staircase has a sufficient mechanical resistance and stability in order to resist static or quasi-static<br />
loads. The characteristic values of resistance of the stair were determined by structural analysis and subsequent<br />
testing and are given in the tables x.4 to x.6 annex 6 to 12. The structural analysis is an integral part of the technical<br />
documentation of this <strong>ETA</strong>.<br />
2.2.2 Prevention of progressive collapse<br />
The assessment of the design of the <strong>Modular</strong> staircase shows that the failure of individual components of the<br />
staircase does not lead to a progressive collapse of the complete staircase.<br />
2.2.3 Residual load-bearing capacity<br />
It can be assumed that a local material failure does not lead to an abrupt loss of load-bearing capacity of the steps.<br />
2.2.4 Long term behaviour<br />
It can be assumed that the characteristic values of resistance stated in the tables x.4 to x.6 annex 6 to 12are ensured<br />
over the indicated working life.<br />
2.2.5 Resistance to earthquakes<br />
No performance determined.<br />
2.2.6 Load/displacement behaviour and vibration behaviour<br />
The characteristic values concerning the load/displacement behaviour were determined by testing. The values<br />
determined are given in the tables x.4 to x.6 annex 6 to 12. The vibration behaviour was determined by<br />
assessment. The staircase shows under dead load as well as a single load of F = 1,0 kN acting on the most<br />
unfavourable point of deflection of w ≤ 5 mm. The first natural frequency under these loads is greater than 5<br />
Hz.<br />
2.2.7 Resistance of the fixing<br />
No performance determined. The reactions from the stair acting on the construction works are given in the<br />
manufacturer’s technical information.<br />
2.3 Safety in case of fire<br />
2.3.1 Reaction to fire<br />
<strong>Modular</strong> staircase in general: Performance class F (no performance determined).<br />
The components made from steel or aluminium are classified as Euroclass A1 in accordance with EN 13501-1 and<br />
EC decision 96/603/EC, <strong>amend</strong>ed by EC Decision 2000/605/EC<br />
2.3.2 Fire resistance<br />
No performance determined.<br />
4 The technical documentation comprises all information of the holder of this <strong>ETA</strong> necessary for the production, installation and<br />
maintenance of the stair; these are in particular the structural analysis, design drawings and the manufacture’s installation<br />
instructions. The part to be treated confidentially is deposited with <strong>ETA</strong>-<strong>Danmark</strong> and, as far as this is relevant to the tasks of the<br />
approved bodies involved in the procedure of attestation of conformity, shall be handed over to the approved body.
2.4. Hygiene, health and environment<br />
Page 6 of 54 of European Technical Approval no. <strong>ETA</strong>-07/0193<br />
The declaration of the manufacturer states that <strong>Modular</strong> staircase do not contain substances which have to be<br />
classified as dangerous according to Regulation 1272/2008 and/or listed in the "Indicative list on dangerous<br />
substances" of the EGDS and/or substances that may be dangerous to the users of the work and the environment-<br />
taking into account the installation conditions of the construction product and the release scenarios resulting from<br />
there. Components from wood based products fulfil the class E1 according to EN 13986.<br />
Note: In addition to the specific clauses relating to dangerous substances contained in this European Technical<br />
Approval, there may be other requirements applicable to the products falling within its scope (e.g. transposed<br />
European legislation and national laws, regulations and administrative provisions). In order to meet the provisions<br />
of the Construction Products Directive, these requirements need also to be complied with, when and where they<br />
apply.<br />
2.5 Safety in use<br />
2.5.1 Geometry of the stair<br />
The geometry of the stair is stated in Annex 1 - 12. The position of the constant pitch line / walking line is<br />
exemplified in Annex 1. The dimensions of the landings, number of raisers, tread angle, overlap, and going etc.<br />
results from the specific case of use<br />
2.5.2 Slipperiness<br />
No performance determined.<br />
2.5.3 Equipment of the stair for a safe use<br />
• Barrier and handrail:<br />
The characteristic values concerning the capacity of the handrail were determined by testing. The values<br />
determined are given in the tables x.4 to x.6 annex 6 to 12<br />
Note. Barrier and handrail can be components of the stair. The upper end of the barrier serves as handrail.<br />
Either vertical balusters or wires are used as fill-in elements. Barriers consisting of vertical balusters will not<br />
support climb ability for infants. An illustration and the dimensions of the barrier and handrail are given in<br />
annex 3.<br />
Barriers consisting of vertical balusters will not support climb ability for infants.<br />
Based on the stated vertical distance of the wires, it is assessed that the ladder effect is prohibited. However,<br />
due to the different types of barrier and hand rails, which are available, the climb ability for infants shall be<br />
assessed and in compliance with the local rules and regulations valid in each case.<br />
• Tactility and visibility:<br />
No performance determined.<br />
2.5.4 Safe breakage of components<br />
The safe breakage of components has not been tested. However, for stairs in which the modules are made in die cast<br />
aluminium it is assessed that a brittle failure of individual components is excluded according to the technical<br />
documentation. It can be assumed that a brittle failure of individual components is excluded.<br />
2.5.5 Impact resistance<br />
No performance determined.<br />
2.6 Durability and serviceability<br />
2.6.1 Resistance to deterioration caused by physical, chemical and biological agents<br />
It can be assumed that the stair has for the intended use adequate resistance to physical agents (effects of<br />
temperature and variations of relative humidity), chemical agents (effects of cleaning agents, water, carbon dioxide,
Page 7 of 54 of European Technical Approval no. <strong>ETA</strong>-07/0193<br />
oxygen and naturally occurring corrosives and pollution agents) and biological agents (effects of fungi, bacteria,<br />
algae and insects) at an indoor climate with air temperatures between +5 and +30°C and relative air humidity<br />
between 30 and 70 %.<br />
2.6.2 Finishes and surface layers<br />
The components from solid wood and wood based products are either untreated or varnished. The components from<br />
steel and aluminium are corrosion protected.<br />
