The tension anchor HZA-R made of stainless steel may be used in structures subject to
dry internal conditions and also in structures subject to external atmospheric exposure (including
industrial and marine environment), or exposure to permanently damp internal conditions, if no
particular aggressive conditions exist. Such particular aggressive conditions are e.g. permanent,
alternating immersion in seawater or the splash zone of seawater, chloride atmosphere of indoor
swimming pools or atmosphere with extreme chemical pollution (e.g. in desulphurization plants
or road tunnels where de-icing materials are used).
The provisions made in this European technical approval are based on an assumed working life
of the post-installed rebar connection of 50 years.
The indications given on the working life
cannot be interpreted as a guarantee given by the producer, but are to be regarded only as a
means for choosing the right products in relation to the expected economically reasonable
working life of the works.

2.2
Methods of verification
The assessment of fitness of the post-installed rebar connection for the intended use in relation
to the requirements for mechanical resistance and stability and safety in use in the sense of the
Essential Requirements 1 and 4 has been made in accordance with the "Guideline for European
technical approval of Metal Anchors for use in concrete", Part 1 "Anchors in general" and Part 5
"Bonded anchors" and EOTA Technical Report TR 023 "Assessment of post-installed rebar
connections"
