Specific Part

Technical description of the product

The Hilti Safety Anchor HSC-A(R) and HSC-I(R) anchors in the range of M6 to M12 is a self-cutting
undercut anchor made of galvanised steel or stainless steel. The Hilti HSC anchor is available in
four versions : an externally threaded carbon steel version (HSC-A), an internally threaded carbon
steel version (HSC-I), an externally threaded stainless steel version (HSC-AR), an internally
threaded stainless steel version (HSC-IR). It is placed into a hole drilled with a special stop drill bit
and self-cutting undercut using a special setting tool. The nut is torque tightened to complete the
fastening of the fixture. In the case of HSC-I and HSC-IR version, the fixture shall be anchored with
a fastening screw or a threaded rod.

Specification of the intended use

The performances given in Section 3 are only valid if the anchor is used in compliance with the
specifications and conditions given in Annexes B.
The provisions made in this European technical assessment are based on an assumed working life
of the anchor of 50 years. The indications given on the working life cannot be interpreted as a
guarantee given by the producer, but are to be regarded only as a means for choosing the right
products in relation to the expected economically reasonable working life of the works.

Sustainable use of natural resources (BWR 7)

For the sustainable use of natural resources no performance was determined for this product.

General aspects relating to fitness for use

Durability and Serviceability are only ensured if the specifications of intended use according to
Annex B1 are kept.

Assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP)

According to the Decision 96/582/EC of the European Commission1, as amended, the system of
assessment and verification of constancy of performance (see Annex V to Regulation (EU)
No 305/2011) given in the following table apply.

Product Intended use Level or Class System

For fixing and/or supporting to concrete,
Metal anchors for
structural elements (which contributes to the ― 1
use in concrete
stability of the works) or heavy units

Technical details necessary for the implementation of the AVCP system

Technical details necessary for the implementation of the Assessment and verification of constancy
of performance (AVCP) system are laid down in the control plan deposited at Centre Scientifique
et Technique du Bâtiment.
The manufacturer shall, on the basis of a contract, involve a notified body approved in the field of
anchors for issuing the certificate of conformity CE based on the control plan.

Anchorages subject to:

 Static and quasi-static loading.

Base materials:
 Reinforced or unreinforced normal weight concrete according to EN 206:2013.
 Strength classes C20/25 to C50/60 according to EN 206:2013.
 Cracked concrete and non-cracked concrete.

environment), and to permanently damp internal conditions, if no particular aggressive conditions exist
(stainless steel).
Note: Such particular aggressive conditions are e.g. permanent, alternating immersion in seawater or
the splash zone of seawater, chloride atmosphere of indoor swimming pools or atmosphere with extreme
chemical pollution (e.g. in desulphurization plants or road tunnels where de-icing products are used).

Design:
 Anchorages are designed under the responsibility of an engineer experienced in anchorages and
concrete work.
 Verifiable calculation notes and drawings are prepared taking account of the loads to be anchored. The
position of the anchor is indicated on the design drawings (e. g. position of the anchor relative to
reinforcement or to supports, etc.).
 Anchorages under static or quasi-static loading are designed in accordance with:
Technical Report TR 055 “Design of fastenings based on EAD 33.232-00.601” and FprEN 1992-4
or ETAG 001, Annex C.

Installation:
 Anchor installation carried out by appropriately qualified personnel and under the supervision of the
person responsible for technical matters of the site.
 Anchor installation in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications given in Annex B1 to B4.
