The partial safety factors of the resistances regulated in the approval and a partial safety factor of the effects of u03b3F = 1.4 have been taken into account. Please refer to the European Technical Approval Guidelines (ETAG), Appendix C, for information on combining tensile and transverse loads, edge influence and groups of anchors.

The partial safety factors for load-bearing capacity on exposure to fire of yM,fi = 1.0 as recommended in the approval and the partial safety factor of the effects of yF = 1.0 have been taken into account.

Carbide masonry drills must comply with the specifications set out in the code of practice of the German institute of building technology (DIBt) and the Association of German Tool Manufacturers (FWI) on the characteristics, requirements and tests of masonry drills with carbide cutting inserts used to drill holes for fixing anchors. Wu00fcrth hammer drills meet the specifications set out in the code of practice.
