Applicati<strong>on</strong>s research<br />
In this divisi<strong>on</strong>, comp<strong>on</strong>ents<br />
and c<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong> systems<br />
are developed and checked.<br />
Suitability checks are carried<br />
out <strong>on</strong> plasters, mortars and<br />
composite thermal insulati<strong>on</strong><br />
systems. Moreover, nati<strong>on</strong>al<br />
and European initial registrati<strong>on</strong><br />
processes for building<br />
products and building forms<br />
are effected. A further area<br />
of activity is the technical<br />
representati<strong>on</strong> of interests<br />
<strong>on</strong> nati<strong>on</strong>al and internati<strong>on</strong>al<br />
standardisati<strong>on</strong> committees<br />
and in specialist associati<strong>on</strong>s.<br />
This includes the appraisal of<br />
damage to buildings.<br />
