Page 4 of 46 of ETA 12/0581, issued on 17.01.2013
The environmental use categories are specified in ETAG 018 Part 2, section 2.2.2:
• Type X: external use
• Type Y: internal use and semi-exposed conditions
• Type Z 1 : internal use with high humidity conditions
• Type Z 2 :internal use
1.3 Assumed working life
The provisions made in this European Technical Approval (ETA) are based on an assumed
working life of the reactive coatings for fire protection HEMPACORE ONE 43600 and
HEMPACORE ONE FD 43601 of at least 10 years, provided that the conditions laid down in
sections 4.2, 5.1 and 5.2 for the packaging, transport, storage and installation as well as
appropriate use, maintenance and repair are met.
The indications given on the working life cannot be interpreted as a guarantee given by the
manufacturer or the Approval Body, but should only be regarded as a means for choosing the
appropriate products in relation to the expected economically reasonable working life of the
works.
2 Characteristics of products and methods of verification
The assessment of the fitness of HEMPACORE ONE 43600 and HEMPACORE ONE FD 43601
