The European document that contains the technical assessment of the performance of a manufacturer's product or kit in relation to the essential characteristics applicable for the intended use, when this is not covered or not fully covered by a harmonised technical specification, is called ETA - European Technical Assessment. It is drawn up on the basis of the European Assessment Document (EAD) covering the product and its intended use, and makes the Declaration of Performance and CE marking possible.
