Description
The criteria catalog includes various points that are relevant for checking the stability of the planned project. For certain projects, the structural engineer can declare that all points listed in the criteria catalog are fulfilled. In this case, the otherwise required certification of stability by a testing expert for stability or the testing of stability by the lower building supervisory authority, a testing engineer or a testing office is not required. However, for this purpose, the declaration of fulfillment of the criteria catalog must be submitted.
The submission of the declaration of compliance with the catalog of criteria is not an independent procedure, but must always be carried out in connection with other procedures. Depending on the respective building project, it must be submitted either as a construction document with the building application or as an attachment to the notification of the start of construction.
However, it can be submitted directly online by the structural engineer to accompany digitally submitted building applications and notifications of the start of construction.
Prerequisites
If all criteria of the criteria catalog are fulfilled for buildings of building classes 1 to 3, for tanks, bridges, retaining walls, grandstands and other structural installations with a free height of more than 10 m that are not buildings, the certification of the proof of stability by a testing expert for stability or the testing of stability by the lower building supervisory authority, a testing engineer or a testing office is not required.
For this, however, the declaration of compliance with the catalog of criteria issued by a qualified structural engineer, usually the creator of the proof of stability, must be submitted.
If the building project is a special construction, the declaration must already be submitted with the building application. Otherwise, it is sufficient to submit it with the notification of the start of construction.
However, in deviation from the above, submission of the declaration is not required for residential buildings of building classes 1 and 2 or above-ground single-story buildings with free spans of no more than 12 m and an area of no more than 1,600 m², which are not intended or are intended only for the temporary residence of individual persons.
Procedure
Digital submission
Digital submission of the declaration of compliance with the criteria catalog is currently not yet possible throughout Bavaria. This can only be done at certain lower building supervisory authorities. You can read which these are in § 1 Digital Building Application Ordinance. You can find the link under the "Legal basis" tab.
- The structural engineer who prepared the proof of stability can submit the declaration of compliance with the catalog of criteria digitally using the online wizard.
- The predefined form "Declaration of compliance with the catalog of criteria" is replaced by the queries in the online wizard.
- The signature is replaced by authentication using the "BayernID" user account.
In order to enable the lower building supervisory authority to assign the digital building application or the digital notice of the start of construction, it is necessary to enter the process number that was provided to the submitter when the digital building application or the digital notice of the start of construction was submitted.
Special notes
The declaration of compliance with the criteria catalog is not a separate application, it must - depending on the project - be submitted with the building application or with the notice of commencement of construction.
