What the legislation requires
The current Italian Technical standards for construction - NTC 2018 require that all construction materials and products, when used for structural use, must be identified and in possession of specific qualification for the intended use and must also be subject to checks during acceptance on site by part of the Director of Works.

To this end, the NTC 2018 provide that, in order to be marketed in Italy, construction materials and products for structural use, when not CE marked, must be in possession of a "Certificate of Technical Assessment" (hereinafter CVT) issued by Central Technical Service, on the basis of guidelines approved by the Italian High Council of Public Works.
How to obtain the Certificate of Technical Assessment
To obtain the Certificate of Technical Assessment, the Manufacturer must have all the qualification tests (initial type tests) carried out by a specific Authorized Laboratory, which issues a specific Test Report in compliance with the requirements of the Central Technical Service.

Tests on FRP, FRCM, CRM, FRC and composite bars and stirrups are performed based on specifications Guidelines for identification, qualification and control for acceptance on site, approved by the High Council of Public Works to ensure the quality and safety of the works and infrastructures.
