Decoding Eurocode
Best in class solutions with International ETA approvals
On 1st April 2015, Eurocode design standard has replaced British Standards as Malaysia's prescribed building codes for structural design. (BCA_Newsroom). This also means that there is now a specific set of codes that also addresses the design method post-installed rebar and anchors.
In EC2 Clause, it states that the design methods for post-installed rebar connections must follow EC2/Technical Report 023. And for post-installed anchors, the design must follow ETAG 001 Annex C. Thus, the design methods for the two applications are completely different:
Structural Rebar connections - EC2 / TR 023
Structural Rebar connections and extensions can be safely designed like cast-in connections utilizing the design provisions provided within Eurocode 2 and EOTA TR023
Work dustless with the ETA approved SAFEset system for a healthy and reliable working environment
Anchor connections - ETAG 001 Annex C / TR 029
The European Technical Approval Guideline 001 “Metal Anchors for used in Concrete” sets out the basis for assessing anchors to be used in concrete.

BS8539 Your Roles and Responsibilities for Post-Installation
BS8539 is the code of practice for selection and installation of post-installed anchoring. It is also linked to the relevant European regulations, especially with respect to selecting products with the CORRECT European Technical Approval or Assessment’s (ETA) for the application.
Who does it affect?
Everyone; designers, specifiers, contractors, installers, testers, manufacturers and suppliers.
What does it mean for contractors
- Ensure that the execution of the jobsite is according to the specifications.
- Ensure that the installer is capable of correctly installing the anchor.
- Should ensure that the change management procedure outlined in clause 10 is followed when an alternative anchor is proposed to that specified.
- If aware of any changes to the assumptions made by the specifier in designing / selecting the specified anchor, should Inform the specifier and await instructions
