Corrosion The kits may be used in the following external

atmosphere exposure:
Rural environment, moderate industrial/urban
environment, but excluding industrial and marine
environment. The kits may be used in other external
atmospheric conditions exposure if the components are
protected as specified in the standard EN 1999.

3.8 Methods of verification

The product is fully covered by EAD EAD 090034-00-
0404. According to the Regulation (EU) No 305/2011.

3.9 General aspects related to the fitness for use of

the product.

The European Technical Assessment is issued for the

product based on agreed data/information, deposited
with ETA-Danmark, which identifies the product that
has been assessed and judged. Changes to the product or
production process, which could result in this deposited
data/information being incorrect, should be notified to
ETA-Danmark before the changes are introduced. ETA-
Danmark will decide if such changes affect the ETA and
consequently the validity of the CE marking based on
the ETA and if so whether further assessment or
alterations to the ETA, shall be necessary.
The EJOT CROSSFIX subframe kit for external wall
elements is manufactured in accordance with the
provisions of this European Technical Assessment
using the manufacturing processes as identified in the
inspection of the plant by the notified inspection body
and laid down in the technical documentation.

applied, with reference to its legal base.
4.1 AVCP system
According to the decision 2003/640/EC of the European
Commission, as amended by 2001/596/EC, the
system(s) of assessment and verification of constancy of
performance (see Annex III to Regulation (EU) No
305/2011) is 2+.

5 Technical details necessary for the

implementation of the AVCP system, as
foreseen in the applicable EAD.
Technical details necessary for the implementation of
the AVCP system are laid down in the control plan
deposited at ETA-Danmark.

Installation of the substrate fixing (Anchoring element)

The fixings between subframe and substrate are not part of the kit, therefore have not been assessed. Even so it is
important to define type position and number of the anchorage according to the substrate material and the resistance
required. CE marking according to the ETA via EAD is recommended.

Substrate fixings or anchoring elements are not part to the kit, but they are needed for the execution of the CROSSFIX
subframe kit as fixings between the brackets and the substrate. The main specifications to be met by these products to
be used with the kit are:
• Fixings must be chosen according to the substrate or supporting structure material (concrete, masonry, timber or
metal frame, etc.) and the resistance required due to wind load and dead load (pull-out and shear strength
respectively).
• Fixings between the brackets and the substrate may be CE marked according to an ETA on the basis of the
relevant EAD (see www.eota.eu) as long as this CE marking is mandatory in the Member State where the kit is
used.

Installation of the skin element fixing

The skin element must be fixed constraint-free, using fixed and sliding points.
The combination of the skin element fixing JT4-LT-3-5,5xL KD16 with EJOT centering grommets Ø11 is recommended to
ensure centering of the screw, prevent damage on the panel surface and generate defined fixed and sliding points.
The screwing process needs to be stopped once the screw head touches the surface to ensure moderate pressure within the
connection and allow for expansion or contraction movements.

Design

The design of the CROSSFIX subframe system, its anchorage, subframe and skin element fixings should
consider:

• The verification of the designed system by means of calculation, considering the mechanical characteristic
values of the kit components to resist the actions (dead loads, wind loads, etc.) applying on the specific
components. National safety factors and other national provisions must be followed.
• The actions according to the EN 1991 (EC1) series of standards and the respective national annexes must be
considered.
• The ultimate limit state and serviceability limit state shall be verified in accordance with EN 1990 using the
resistance values from this approval.
• The selection and verification of the anchors between the brackets and the external walls (substrate), taking
into account the substrate material and the minimum resistance required (pull-out and shear resistance)
according to the envisaged actions obtained from the mechanical calculation of the designed system.
• The anchorage is verified according to the specifications of the ETA or national approval of the respective
anchorage element. The anchor positions, depending on the substrate are shown in annex 10.
• Power keys are an optional component and used on fixed point brackets to increase resistance.
• Alternative skin element fixings are possible, therefore consider the element manufacturers approval and
installation instructions.
• Multi-layer substructures (vertical / horizontal or horizontal / vertical) can be calculated in accordance with
EN 1999-1-1.
• The system must allow for expansion and contractions movements, using fixed and sliding points according
to annex 11.
• The system examples shown are on annex 13 to 23 are possible solutions, but the system is not limited to the
examples given.

Storage and handling

• All system elements should be handled with care, and in such way that handling does not cause any damage
to the element that could, in term, have a negative influence on element’s chemical and/or physical
properties, or to an entire system it will be used in.
• All aluminum elements (i.e., profiles) should be stored in a way that prevents a direct atmospheric and/or
corrosive influence and/or direct contact with other organic or inorganic material that may harm the profile.
• It is suggested that all aluminum profiles, pre installation, be protected from natural occurring oxidation
and/or corrosion by applying electrolytic passivation process of anodization or powder coating its surface
area.

Installation and Maintenance

Installation of the subframe system should be carried out:

• According to the specifications of the manufacturer and using the components specified in this ETA.
• In accordance with the design and drawings prepared for the specific works. The manufacturer should ensure that the
information on these provisions is given to those concerned.
• By appropriately qualified staff and under the supervision of the technical responsible of the specific works.
• If the façade panel will be mechanically fixed, EJOT recommends aluminum profiles with decorative protection layer to
be installed (anodization of powder coating).

Profile insertion depth marking on the bracket

The minimal and maximal profile insertion is marked on the brackets and ensures correct edge distance of the subframe
fixing to the profile.

Tolerance compensation with the Powerkey

In case of small inaccuracies of the anchor distance (A and B) the Powerkey can be twisted up to two revelations to preload
anchor B.

Maintenance
Maintenance of the subframe system includes inspections on site, considering the following aspects:
• the appearance of any permanent irreversible deformation.
• the presence of corrosion or presence of water accumulation.

When necessary, any repair to localized damaged areas must be carried out with the same components and following the
repair instructions given by the manufacturer.
