2 What is WFTAO? History Technical Assessment Raison D'Être Progress Future

3 WFTAO Members CCMC ICC ES NBI VTT BBA ETA ITB TZUS INCERC DIBT CSTB EMI RT LNEC IETcc NBRI FCC BCJ CBL IPT ASA ABCB BRANZ

4 History Exploratory meetings in '94 (Brazil) and '95 (France) Inaugural meeting in 1996 (South Africa) Annual meetings

5 Technical Assessment Declaration of technical fitness for an intended use of an innovative or non standardized construction product, service or process National descriptors such as "technical approval", "avis technique", "evaluation", "appraisal"

6 The philosophical basis Technical assessment is about promoting the use of innovative construcution products and support the credibility and the quality of the information and claims made by the manufacturer A broad definition of an innovative product is any product or kit not covered by a standard The innovative aspect means per definition that there are no standards to assess and verify the performance of the performance of the product With the broad definition of innovative products, kits also fall in this category!

7 Standardized vs. Innovative Products Construction products subject to standards Acceptance Credibility Innovative and non-standardized products

8 Globalization of Markets Global forces have changed competition Firms now have global commercial interests Borders erased with new communications technologies Trading blocs harmonize within, but not with others Proliferation of international standards 1957 few dozen ISO standards 2013 more than ISO standards

9 Issues for Exporters Separate National testing and conformity assessment procedures Even with the same test, some countries mandate National organizations Significant time and cost implications for exporters Smaller companies dissuaded from entering export markets

10 World Federation of Technical Assessment Organizations WFTAO World wide network for coordinating and facilitating the technical assessment of innovative and non standardized construction products

11 Why? Enhance & promote role of technical assessment Develop mutual confidence THEREBY Minimize duplication Facilitate trade

12 WFTAO Web Site

13 Progress familiarization Administrative provisions model liaison agreement draft world technical assessment process Enhanced networking Expand memberships

14 WFTAO Bi lateral Activity European Union Canada Japan U.S.A. France United Kingdom Canada United Kingdom South Africa Germany U.S.A

15 WFTA0 Procedure Procedure for Multi Lateral Assessments (WTA) Establishes protocol for 2 or more organizations to simultaneously assess an innovative product Emphasizes need for cooperation and time lines

16 Technical Evaluation* and Mutual Recognition Diversity of Technical Evaluation (1) Mandatory field and voluntary field (2) evaluation of building parts and members and product certification of components and materials *Technical Evaluation includes: technical assessment, evaluation, product certification, etc

17 Technical Evaluation and Mutual Recognition Perspective for the matrix of Technical Evaluation Needs for Technical Evaluation Content of evaluation criteria and entity in charge of formulation Evaluation system and product certification system Mutual recognition

18 Technical Evaluation and Mutual Recognition Characteristics of Technical Evaluation Mandatory field Voluntary field Evaluation (building parts and members) Product certification (components and materials) Evaluation and product certification acquisition are essential (?) There are strong needs by manufacturers for evaluation and product certification Evaluation and product certification acquisition are optional The purpose is to secure trust in the market

19 Technical Evaluation and Mutual Recognition Evaluation criteria Mandatory field Voluntary field Evaluation (building parts and members) Building Codes unique to each country Diverse criteria and guidelines depending on the purpose Product certification (components and materials) Building Codes unique to each country Referred standards unique to each country Diverse standards depending on the purpose

20 Looking to the Future Strategic planning Enhanced networking Promotion Of WFTAO Of concept of technical approval Value proposition
