Essential characteristics of mechanical fasteners for use in concrete according to EAD 33-0232-00-0601 Table 2.1 are
related to FprEN 1992-4:2016 which is currently not yet published.
The Essential characteristics given in ETAs which are based on EAD 33-0232-00-0601 may be used for design
according to CEN/TS 1992-4-4:2009 or ETAG 001 Annex C with EOTA Technical Reports TR 020 (for fastenings under
fire exposure) and TR 045 (for fastenings under seismic action) to bridge the time span until publication of EN 1992-
4. Some symbols for essential characteristics are different in the different design codes. Therefore the correct
symbols for design in CEN/TS 1992-4-4:2009, ETAG 001 Annex C and EOTA Technical Reports TR 020:2004 and TR
045:2013 are given in Table 1.
