Appendices

• A detailed description of the subject matter of the application. The construction products 
that are planned to be used in coordination with the contractor shall be outlined in detail. 
• An exact description of the requirements placed on the grouted joint that are considered as 
being significant. It may be necessary to provide references to the technical codes of practice 
introduced by the construction authorities relevant to the object being examined - and where 
this object differs from such codes of practice 
• A topically complete but short presentation of the planned concept of investigation and de 
monstration to be used for obtaining the individual Technical Approval. 
In order to reliably assess the list of requirements and the complexity of inspection for the in 
dividual Technical Approval, the project shall be coordinated at an early stage with the asses 
sor, the appointed inspector, the BSH and the BAM. 
Step 2 
Presentation of an independent expert opinion. Once proof that all the requirements have 
been met has been provided, the assessor shall issue a reliable statement as to whether, from 
his/her technical point of view, an individual Technical Approval can be recommended. 
2-11.3 Technical notes 
The technical assessment shall be conducted by the assessor appointed by the builder of the 
structure. This assessment is the sole responsibility of the assessor. 
The following questions shall be addressed: 
• Definition of the required performance characteristics of the material and the consequent 
requirements and test methods, resp. procedures to be used (e. g. temperature and time- 
dependent characteristics of fresh grout, shrinkage, durability with respect to mechanical, 
dynamic and climatic stress). 
• Presentation and, if required, assessment (comparative computation) of the verification me 
thods and processes. 
• Description of the requirements placed on the implementation. 
• Description of the safe application at the structure, and, if required, proof that the grouting 
has been accordingly completed and displays the required properties. 
• Definition of the quality assurance requirements, both in the factory and at the construction 
site, with respect to in-house and external monitoring. 
• As the deployed materials represent non-regulated construction products used in stability 
relevant applications, a 1 +-rated proof of conformity analogous to that used in the verifica 
tion system implemented by the European standards for construction products is required. 
The respective characteristics shall be developed by the assessor. 
• Regarding the monitoring of the implementation at the offshore construction site, the requi 
rements shall be fulfilled to monitoring class 3 standards - analogous to DIN 1045-3 - as 
particularly difficult conditions of implementation are involved that are not reversible in the 
case of an application error. 
• Furthermore, the finish of the planned materials shall also be classified with a view to their 
sensitivity to extraneous influences. 
• A concept for the procedure to be applied in the case of unscheduled production, e. g. re 
pair grout. 
• A concept for the performance of periodic inspections according to this standard and, if 
required, supplementary monitoring measures.
