“The U.S. certification is a significant milestone in establishing our LIGNOLOC® wooden nail system as a standard in the American construction industry and advancing sustainable timber construction!”
approvals
The European Technical Assessment (ETA) for LIGNOLOC® wooden nails with heads is a significant milestone for the approval and use of these innovative fasteners in timber construction. It enables the planning, calculation, and execution of load-bearing connections in timber frame construction in compliance with applicable standards and regulations.
The ETA applies to LIGNOLOC® wooden nails without heads and allows for the planning, calculation, and execution of load-bearing connections in timber frame construction. The specifications are based on an assumed service life of 50 years for LIGNOLOC® nails.
This approval confirms the use of LIGNOLOC® wooden nails for wood-to-wood or panel-to-wood connections. The withdrawal and shear resistance of LIGNOLOC® wooden nails meet the requirements of the ASTM D1761-20 standard for mechanical fasteners in wood.
Since August 2020, LIGNOLOC® has held the official General Building Authority Approval from the DIBt (German Institute for Building Technology) for "Load-bearing timber connections using LIGNOLOC® wooden nail.
