(couplers, (cross) turnbuckles) with metric ISO threads M 12 to M 160. Drawings of the tension rod system and the components as well as the essential dimensions of the components are given in the Annexes to this ETA. 2 Specification of the intended use in accordance with the applicable European Assessment Document The tension rod system is intended for the use in structures with static or quasi-static loads according to EN 1990:2002, where no verification of fatigue relating to EN 1993-1-9:2005 is necessary. Furthermore the installed tension rod system shall be accessible (in order) to facilitate replacement of individual components at any time. The intended use comprises for instance the suspension of roof structures or vertical glazings as well as bracings and truss structures. The tension rod system is not subjected to systematic bending. The fork end connectors may also be connected to compression bars. The compression bars themselves with a strength class not higher than strength class S355 are not part
