In total, 1,478 European Technical Assessments (ETAs) were issued, bringing the total to 15,005 ETAs for manufacturers in 83 countries. EOTA also saw a record 71 European Assessment Documents (EADs) cited in the Official Journal of the European Union—raising the total to 453. In addition, 67 Technical Reports are available for the use of the construction industry. These figures demonstrate EOTA’s very active role in providing useful and reliable technical documents to the construction sector.
Under the leadership of EOTA's new President Thomas Bruun, the Organisation has sharpened its focus on three strategic pillars: digitalisation, sustainability, and global outreach.
A major step was the EOTA-wide rollout of ETA Self-Management, which is now available to all Technical Assessment Bodies. The tool will help boost efficiency and allow resources to be directed to future-focused initiatives.
At the same time, EOTA and the European Commission are preparing the framework for the revised Construction Products Regulation (CPR). The aim is to ensure a seamless transition from the old to the new framework, with EADs being cited continuously throughout 2025 and 2026.
Sustainability remains a central topic in the ETA route. Work in 2024 focused on laying the foundations for life cycle assessment (LCA) within the ETA. With this new feature added to the service portfolio offered by Technical Assessment Bodies, the ETA route will continue to support innovative and green products, creating new market opportunities for European manufacturers around the world.
