The test report S-WUE 070466 confirms once again the high quality and mechanical stability of the GehrTec system which is both internally-developed and self-manufactured. Currently there are very few suppliers in the market that can prove such an LGA certification for their mounting systems. Moreover, with GehrTec Top a high degree of pre-installation is possible and, due to the few system parts, results in extremely low material and labour costs and optimized profitability.
The installer appreciates the legal certainty provided by the LGA type test that the dimensioning of the mounting system design conforms to all relevant norms and regulations. In some public sector construction projects, mandatory and often time-intensive structural auditing requirements of the applied calculation methods are also no longer required, as the type testing releases the supervisory authorities from this requirement.
With respect to the instructions publicized in May 2012 by the German Institute for Construction Technology (DIBt) for photovoltaic plants, this is a further step to adherence to the construction requirements (product and dimensioning regulations) and the defining of photovoltaic systems as engineered structures.
