Abstract

The European Standard EN 15129 is today the most updated standard on anti-seismic devices. The norm specifies functional requirements and design rules, provisions for material characteristics, manufacturing and test requirements, as well as acceptance, installation and maintenance criteria. Since August 2011 the conformity to the European Standard EN 15129 is mandatory for anti-seismic devices that are marketed within the European market. The paper surveys the tasks for the manufacturer and for Third Parties (the Notified Bodies) involved in the procedure of attestation of conformity. Furthermore it reviews the experience of Politecnico di Milano, in its position of Notified Body for Testing, Inspection and Certification of antiseismic devices, over one year from the enforcement of the standard.
