About us

The European Organisation for Technical Assessment (EOTA) is a Europe-wide association of Technical Assessment Bodies for construction products established under the Construction Products Regulation (CPR).

EOTA is a non-profit organisation based in Brussels (Belgium). We provide the framework for the European Technical Assessment (ETA) of construction products to ensure consistent product performance information throughout Europe. The EOTA network is the only platform which allows European manufacturers of innovative or non-standard construction products to bring their products to the European market with CE marking.

The basis of the approach is the European Assessment Documents (EADs) developed in EOTA.
