Steel wire ropes with CE approval

Our structural ropes are produced and assembled in accordance with the EU harmonization directives and are certified with CE approval. The CE certification guarantees that the marked products can be traded in the EU without restrictions. Fatzer guarantees that all requirements necessary for CE approval have been met in accordance with the relevant directives.

ETA approval for HYEND rope connections

The application for the ETA was submitted to the German Institute for Construction Technology (DIBt) in 2015. After extensive tests, calculations, and external expert reports,  ETA-15/0917 for the construction product "FATZER HYEND tension components" was finally issued in 2019, covering the full range of FATZER HYEND ropes and sockets. By following the AVCP system 2+ (in-house Factory Production Control (FPC)), in-house sample testing, in-house performance assessment, initial factory inspection, FCP by a Notified Body (NB), and continuous surveillance, assessment and evaluation of the FCP by a NB, FATZER AG is allowed to affix a CE mark to its HYEND structural rope assemblies.
