Construction Engineering Regulations

The OIB (Austrian Institute of Construction Engineering) guidelines serve to harmonize the construction engineering regulations across all of Austria. They are issued by the OIB and adopted by the federal states into their Construction Law.

Market Surveillance Authority for Construction Products

As market surveillance authority, the OIB ensures that the construction products on the market fulfill all legal requirements and do not endanger health and safety.

Technical Assessment Body and Approval Body

The OIB issues European Technical Assessments (ETA) and Austrian Construction Engineering Approvals (BTZ) for construction products. Thus innovative products are able to obtain a CE or ÜA label as well.

Product Contact Points for the Construction Industry

The OIB provides information about the currently valid technical requirements for construction products in Austria.
