Bauen - Antrag auf Verlängerung der Typengenehmigung für Gebäude und andere bauliche Anlagen an mehreren Stellen

A type approval is valid for five years. The period can be extended by up to five years on request.

If you want to erect or use structural systems and load-bearing structures based on applicable technical building regulations at several locations in Germany, in the same design and as often as you like, applying for a type test is often an effective procedure.

Type tests for structural systems or parts of structural systems are reserved exclusively for the testing authorities for stability.

The type test report can be issued for a maximum period of validity of five years. Within this period, you can use the tested type statics as often as you like.

If technical building regulations have not changed within this period and you do not intend to make any individual adjustments to the type with regard to its application and design, there is generally nothing to prevent a short-term extension for a maximum of five further years.

The applicant must submit two copies of the structural analyses of all types under consideration as well as the type plans and type sheets prepared to illustrate the calculation results for review.

Type plans and type sheets must be prepared in such a way that they describe the design completely and clearly and serve as a basis for manufacture and execution.

All dimensions, materials and conditions of use must be clearly and unambiguously presented in such a way that they can be assigned to the appropriate type for each individual case.

The tested mathematical verification is generally no longer required when using the design.

Insofar as the documents submitted comply with the structural engineering regulations - the Thuringian Administrative Regulation on Technical Building Regulations (ThürVVTB) or the certificates of usability issued by the building authorities - a test report will be issued by the test office, which may contain additional information and notes that go beyond the content of the type plans.

You will then receive a copy of your tested structural engineering documents and the test report together with the annexes (usually the type plans/sheets required for execution).

The test report and annexes to the test report must be submitted to the testing body for each individual application.

We recommend commissioning structural engineers who already have experience with type testing to prepare the documents.

The type approval is valid for five years. The period can be extended by up to five years on request.

• Type tests for structural installations or parts of structural installations are reserved exclusively for the inspection authorities for structural safety.
• The type test report can be issued for a maximum period of validity of five years. Within this period, the tested type statics can be used as often as required.
• After expiry of the validity period, it is possible to apply for an extension.
• Provided that technical building regulations have not changed within this period and the applicant does not intend to make any individual adjustments to the type with regard to its application and construction, there is generally nothing to prevent a short-term extension for a maximum of five further years.
