The European Technical Approval (ETA) is a generally recognised proof of the technical suitability of a construction product within the meaning of the Construction Products Regulation in the member states of the EU.
The DIBT in Berlin (German Building Research Institute) awarded the Schotten-based company PREBENA Wilfried Bornemann GmbH & Co. KG certification as the first manufacturer after all requirements and test results had been met.
This means that PREBENA construction staples have all the properties required for long-term use in construction, prefabricated houses and timber frame construction.
Staple certification for wire Ø 1.52 – 2.0 mm up to 170 mm in length in the following versions:
RF = rust and acid resistant, material no. 1.4301
SV = heavily galvanised, 12 μm galvanisation
- Europe-wide approval
- Greater safety for the user/processor
- Unlimited validity of approval

- connected component (OSB, plasterboard, wood fibre boards, etc.)

The current product range with ETA approval includes the PREBENA types L, Q, WD, WP and Z. Other types are available on request.
The construction staples are produced at the factory in Schotten and can therefore be offered and sold as "Made in Germany".
In addition to certified staples, PREBENA offers a range of equipment for processing in the relevant industries.
This includes all pneumatic nailers for quick and easy processing of ETA staples, such as:
- Modules for stationary use in industrial production
- Mobile modules for laying large-area substructures
- Pneumatic nailers with automatic trigger system
- SlideSystem for setting the staples at precise, regular intervals
The construction staples can of course also be processed with the pneumatic nailers from the standard range.
