During the second half of the 20th century, accelerated urbanization and building processes have shaped the current reality of a large part of our country's edified heritage. These large urbanization processes have generated an edified environment that gives reasonable satisfaction to the basic needs of the majority of the Spanish population. However, the large number of new buildings built in recent years and in previous decades has not always achieved quality parameters adapted to the new demands of the citizens. In fact, Spanish society, as is the case in the countries of our environment, is increasingly demanding quality in buildings and urban spaces.

This demand for a higher quality of construction responds to a more demanding conception of what the quality of life implies for all citizens in terms of the use of the built environment. It also responds to a new demand for sustainability of building processes and urbanizers, in its triple environmental, social and economic dimension.

The process of the construction, due to its direct impact on the configuration of the inhabited spaces, implies a commitment of functionality, economy, harmony and environmental balance, of evident relevance from the point of In the light of the general interest and, therefore, the government's policies. The building sector is also one of the main economic sectors with significant repercussions on society as a whole and on the cultural and environmental values of the architectural heritage.

With the objectives of improving the quality of the building, and promoting innovation and sustainability, the Government approves the Technical Code of the Edification. This is a regulatory instrument which sets out the basic requirements for the quality of buildings and their facilities. This regulation gives satisfaction to certain basic building requirements related to the safety and well-being of persons, which relate to both structural and fire protection and to the protection of the environment. healthiness, noise protection, energy saving or accessibility for people with reduced mobility.

This new regulation makes a decisive contribution to the development of the Spanish Government's policy on sustainability, in particular the Action Plan of the Energy Efficiency and Savings Strategy, and is converted into a as an instrument of long-term government commitments on the environment, such as the Kyoto Protocol or the Göteborg Strategy.

The Technical Code of the Building complies with the basic requirements of the building laid down in Law 38/1999, of 5 November, of the Ordination of the Building, in order to guarantee the safety of the people, the welfare of society, the sustainability of building and the protection of the environment. In fact, Law 38/1999, in its second final provision, authorizes the Government to adopt, by means of Royal Decree, a Technical Code for the Edification in which the basic requirements to be fulfilled in buildings are laid down, in relationship to the basic requirements relating to security and habitability, as listed in paragraphs (b) and (c) of Article 3.1.

On the one hand, the approval of the Technical Code of the Edification implies the overcoming and modernization of the current normative framework of the construction in Spain, regulated by the Royal Decree 1650/1977, of June 10, on regulations of the construction, which established the Basic Standards of the Building, as provisions of mandatory compliance in the project and the execution of the buildings. Within this legal framework, a number of Basic Standards have been adopted since 1979, which have formed an open set of provisions which have been addressed by the various demands of society, but which have not yet become a coordinated set, in the form of a Technical Building Code, similar to those in other more advanced countries.

On the other hand, the Technical Code of the Edification creates a normative framework that is homologable to the existing one in the more advanced countries and harmonizes the national regulations existing in the edification with the provisions of the European Union in this field. Firstly, with those relating to the free movement of construction products within the single European market and, in particular, with Council Directive 89 /106/EEC of 21 December on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to: legal, regulatory and administrative provisions of the Member States on construction products, transposed into national law by Royal Decree 1630/1992 of 29 December 1992 on provisions for the free movement of goods construction. Secondly, Directive 2002/91/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December on the energy efficiency of buildings, pursuant to which they have been incorporated into the Technical Code of the Edification, is to be considered. requirements relating to the energy efficiency requirements of buildings, as set out in Articles 4, 5 and 6 of this Directive.

In the Technical Code of the Edification, in addition to ordering and completing the basic regulations of the building related to the basic requirements of safety and habitability established in Law 38/1999, a the approach to basic requirements, in line with that adopted at the level of the European Union by the Council Resolution of 5 May 1985 on the "new approach" in the field of technical regulation.

Equally, the Technical Code of Building is aligned with the so-called "benefit-based approach", advocated by the major International Organizations related to building codes, such as the Council International of the Edification, or the Interjurisdictional Committee of Regulatory Collaboration, both inspiring of the codes of advanced countries. This approach, among other advantages, allows the opening of the sector to more global markets of construction products and professionals of the sector. In addition, in the face of traditional prescriptive codes, the adoption of a code based on benefits means a greater openness to innovation, which is also justified by the consideration that knowledge and technology of construction are in continuous progress, in such a way that the rules promote research and do not hinder technological progress.

The Technical Code of Building is divided into two parts, both of which are of a regulatory nature. The first contains the general provisions (scope, structure, classification of uses, etc. ..) and the requirements to be met by the buildings to meet the requirements of safety and habitability of the building.

The second part consists of the Basic Documents whose proper use guarantees the fulfilment of the basic requirements. These include procedures, technical rules, and examples of solutions to determine if the building meets the established benefit levels. These documents are not exclusive. As a complement to the application of the Code, the Recognised Documents are created as those external and independent technical documents of the Code whose use makes it easier to comply with certain requirements and contribute to the promotion of quality of the building.

To give the maximum operability to these Recognized Documents the General Registry of the Technical Code of the Edification in which they will be entered and will make public the same, as well as the distinctive quality or other Technical evaluations of a voluntary nature that contribute to compliance with the Code. Other technical evaluations of the products, equipment or systems, relating to their correct implementation or their final performance, environmental certifications of the life cycle analysis of the products, may also be entered in this Register. products and other environmental assessments that encourage the improvement of the quality of the building.

Moreover, and without prejudice to the immediate entry into force of this Royal Decree, and the consequent application of the Technical Code of the Edification, given its extension and complexity, it has been considered necessary to establish, In the present case, the temporary application of the rules before the present day and that it is the object of repeal in the present Royal Decree, and on the other hand, a transitional regime for the future application of the new ones basic requirements contained in the Technical Code of the Building that is approved. For this purpose, the second and third transitional provisions are provided for the existence of two transitional periods, of six and twelve months, applicable in relation to the rules detailed in each case.

In relation to this, the derogatory provision details the basic regulations of the building which is repealed, as well as some other regulatory provisions affecting buildings, as is the case with the Basic Standards for the internal water supply facilities and certain provisions of the current General Regulations of Police of Entertainment and Recreational Activities, approved by Royal Decree 2816/1982 of 27 August 1982 on protection against fires in these buildings, which have already been exceeded, and which are covered by the Technical Code of Building.

In the proceedings of this Royal Decree, the formalities laid down in Law 50/1997 of 27 November, of the Government, and of Royal Decree 1337/1999 of 31 July, which regulates the remission of information in the (a) the subject of technical standards and regulations and of the rules on the services of the information society, pursuant to Council Directive 98 /34/EC of 28 March establishing a procedure for the provision of information in the (a) the subject of technical standards and regulations, and the Autonomous Communities and the Technical Commission have been heard for the Quality of the Edification, as well as the professional associations and the sectors concerned.

General provisions

Article 1. Object.

1. The Technical Code of the Edification, hereinafter CTE, is the normative framework that regulates the basic quality requirements that the buildings, including their facilities, must meet in order to satisfy the basic requirements of safety and habitability, in development of what is provided for in the second provision of Law 38/1999, of 5 November, of the Ordination of the Building, hereinafter LOE.

2. The CTE sets out these basic requirements for each of the basic requirements for "structural safety", "fire safety", "safety of use", "hygiene, health and environmental protection", "noise protection" and "safety". 'energy saving and thermal insulation', as set out in Article 3 of the LOE, and provides procedures to ensure that they are met with sufficient technical guarantees.

3. The basic requirements for "functionality" and the functional aspects of building elements shall be governed by their specific rules.

4. The basic requirements must be met in the project, construction, maintenance and conservation of buildings and their facilities.

Article 2. Scope.

1. The CTE shall apply, in the terms established in the LOE and with the limitations that are determined in it, to the public and private buildings whose projects require the corresponding license to be legally authorized. required.

2. The CTE shall be applied to the construction works of new construction, except those constructions of technical simplicity and of little constructive entity, which do not have a residential or public character, whether in an eventual or permanent form, which is develop in a single plant and do not affect people's safety.

3. Similarly, the CTE shall apply to the works of extension, modification, reform or rehabilitation which are carried out in existing buildings, provided that such works are compatible with the nature of the intervention and, where appropriate, with the degree of protection that the buildings concerned may have. The possible incompatibility of application should be justified in the project and, where appropriate, be compensated by alternative measures that are technically and economically feasible.

4. For these purposes, rehabilitation works shall mean those which are intended to achieve any of the following results:

(a) The structural adequacy, considering as such the works that provide the building with constructive safety conditions, in such a way that its stability and mechanical resistance is guaranteed.

b) The functional adequacy, understanding as such the realization of the works that provide the building with better conditions regarding the basic requirements to which this CTE refers. In any case, they are considered to be works for the functional suitability of the buildings, the actions aimed at the removal of barriers and the promotion of accessibility, in accordance with the current regulations; or

(c) The remodeling of a building with housing that is intended to modify the area for housing or to modify the number of dwellings, or to remodel a building without housing that is intended to create them.

5. It is understood that a work is of integral rehabilitation when it has for object actions intended for all the purposes described in this section.

The project must indicate in the memory of the project in which or which of the mentioned assumptions the projected works can be entered and whether these include or not actions in the pre-existing structure; understanding, in case negative, that the works do not involve the risk of damage referred to in Article 17.1.a) of the LOE.

6. In any case, compliance with the basic requirements of the CTE should be checked when the characteristic use of existing buildings is intended to be changed, even if this does not necessarily involve the construction of works.

7. The classification of buildings and their areas shall be subject to the provisions of Article 2 of the LOE, but in certain cases, the buildings and their dependencies may be classified in the Basic Documents of this CTE in accordance with the provisions of this Article. specific characteristics of the activity to which they are to be engaged, in order to align the basic requirements with the possible risks associated with those activities. Where the particular activity of a building or area is not among the classifications provided for, either by analogy, one of the classifications shall be adopted or a specific risk study associated with this particular activity shall be carried out. based on the following risk assessment factors and criteria:

a) The intended activities that users perform.

b) The characteristics of the users.

c) The number of people who usually occupy, visit, use, or work in them.

d) The vulnerability or the need for special protection on grounds of age, such as children or the elderly, for a physical, sensory or mental disability or others that may affect their ability to make decisions, building without help from others or tolerate adverse situations.

e) The familiarity with the building and its means of evacuation.

f) The usual usage time and period.

g) The characteristics of the intended content.

h) The permissible risk in extraordinary situations; and

i) The level of building protection.

Article 3. CTE content.

1. In order to facilitate their understanding, development, use and updating, the CTE is ordered in two parts:

(a) The first contains the general provisions and conditions of application of the CTE and the basic requirements to be met by the buildings; and

b) The second consists of the so-called Basic Documents, hereinafter referred to as DB, for the fulfilment of the basic requirements of the CTE. These documents, based on the consolidated knowledge of the various constructive techniques, will be updated in the light of technical progress and social demands and will be regulated.

2. The DB contains:

(a) The characterization of the basic requirements and their quantification, in so far as the scientific and technical development of the building permits, through the establishment of the levels or limit values of the benefits of buildings or parts thereof, which are understood to be the set of qualitative or quantitative characteristics of the building, objectively identifiable, which determine their suitability to meet the relevant basic requirements; and

(b) Procedures whose use can be used to ensure compliance with these basic requirements, in the form of verification methods or solutions sanctioned by practice. They may also contain remission or reference to instructions, regulations or other technical standards for the purposes of specification and control of materials, test methods and data or calculation procedures, which shall be taken into account in the drafting of the building and its construction.

Article 4. Documents Recognized and General Registry of the CTE.

1. As a complement to the Basic Documents, which are of a regulatory nature, included in the CTE and in order to achieve greater effectiveness in their application, the CTE Recognized Documents, defined as technical documents, are created without character (a) regulatory, with the recognition of the Ministry of Housing that will maintain a public record of the same.

2. The Recognised Documents may have the following content:

(a) Specifications and technical guides or codes of good practice that include procedures for the design, calculation, execution, maintenance and preservation of constructive products, elements and systems.

b) Methods of evaluation and constructive solutions, software, statistical data on disaster in building or other databases.

c) Comments on the CTE application; or

(d) Any other document that facilitates the application of the CTE, excluding those relating to the use of a particular product or system or a patent.

3. It is created, in the Ministry of Housing, and attached to the Directorate General of Architecture and Housing Policy, the General Registry of the CTE, which will have a public and informative character.

4. The Recognised Documents of the CTE shall be entered in that General Register. They may also be enrolled in the same:

(a) Marks, stamps, certificates of conformity and other voluntary quality flags of the technical characteristics of the products, equipment or systems, which are incorporated into the buildings and which contribute compliance with the basic requirements.

(b) The certification systems for the conformity of the final performance of the buildings, the certificates of conformity held by the agents involved in the execution of the works, the certifications environmental assessments that consider product lifecycle analysis, other environmental assessments of buildings, and other certifications that facilitate CTE compliance and encourage improvement in building quality.

(c) Bodies authorised by the competent public authorities for the granting of technical assessments of the suitability of innovative products or systems or other authorisations or accreditations of bodies and entities that support the provision of services that facilitate the implementation of the CTE.

Chapter 2

Technical and administrative conditions

Article 5. General conditions for CTE compliance.

5.1 Generalities.

1. The agents involved in the building process shall be responsible for the implementation of the CTE, as set out in Chapter III of the LOE.

2. To ensure that a building meets the basic requirements of the LOE referred to in Article 1 of this CTE and that it complies with the corresponding basic requirements, the agents involved in the process of the building, to the extent that affect their intervention, they must meet the conditions that the CTE establishes for the drafting of the project, the execution of the work and the maintenance and conservation of the building.

3. In order to justify that a building meets the basic requirements set out in the CTE, it may be chosen by:

(a) Adopt technical solutions based on the DB, whose application in the project, in the execution of the work or in the maintenance and preservation of the building, is sufficient to prove the fulfilment of the basic requirements related to those DB; or

b) Alternative solutions, understood as those that are totally or partially removed from the DB. The project manager or the project manager may, under his or her responsibility and after the promoter's compliance, adopt alternative solutions, provided that they justify the fact that the projected building meets the basic requirements of the CTE because its benefits are at least equivalent to those obtained by the application of the DB.

5.2 CTE compliance of products, equipment, and materials.

1. Construction products which are permanently incorporated into buildings, on the basis of their intended use, shall bear the CE marking, in accordance with Directive 89 /106/EEC of construction products, transposed by the Royal Decree 1630/1992, dated 29 December, as amended by Royal Decree 1329/1995 of 28 July 1995 and implementing provisions, or other European Directives applicable to them.

2. In certain cases, in order to ensure their sufficiency, the DDB lays down the technical characteristics of products, equipment and systems which are incorporated into the buildings, without prejudice to the CE marking applicable to them in accordance with the corresponding European Directives.

3. The marks, stamps, certificates of conformity or other distinctive quality flags that facilitate compliance with the basic requirements of the CTE may be recognized by the competent Public Administrations.

4. Certificates of conformity of the final performance of the buildings may also be recognised in accordance with the above paragraph, the certificates of conformity held by the agents involved in the building. execution of the works, environmental certifications that consider the analysis of the life cycle of the products, other environmental assessments of buildings, and other certifications that facilitate compliance with the CTE.

5. Innovative products, equipment and systems which demonstrate compliance with the basic requirements of the ETC with regard to the constructive elements in which they are involved shall be deemed to be in conformity with the CTE by means of a favourable technical assessment. of its suitability for the intended use, granted, at the entry into force of the CTE, by the entities authorised to do so by the competent public administrations in accordance with the following criteria:

a) They shall act with impartiality, objectivity and transparency by having the appropriate organisation and competent technical staff.

b) They will have a proven experience in the conduct of examinations, tests and evaluations, supported by the appropriate implementation of quality management systems for test procedures, inspection and monitoring of assessments granted.

The recognition by the competent public authorities as set out in paragraphs 5.2.3, 5.2.4 and 5.2.5 shall refer to the trade marks, stamps, certificates of conformity or other distinctive quality flags, as well as the certificates of conformity of the final performance of the buildings, the environmental certifications, as well as the authorisations of the entities which grant technical assessments of the suitability, legally granted in the Member States Member States of the Union and the States which are signatories to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

Article 6. Project conditions.

6.1 Generalities.

1. The project shall describe the building and define the works of execution of the building in sufficient detail to enable it to be assessed and interpreted unequivocally during its implementation.

2. In particular, and in relation to the CTE, the project will define the projected works in the detail appropriate to its characteristics, so that it can be verified that the proposed solutions meet the basic requirements of this CTE and other regulations applicable. This definition shall include at least the following information:

(a) The minimum technical characteristics to be collected by products, equipment and systems that are permanently incorporated into the projected building, as well as their conditions of supply, quality assurance and control reception to be performed.

(b) The technical characteristics of each unit of work, indicating the conditions for its implementation and the checks and controls to be carried out to verify their conformity with the project. The measures to be taken during the execution of the works and in the use and maintenance of the building shall be specified in order to ensure compatibility between the different products, elements and building systems.

(c) The verifications and service tests that, if any, must be performed to check the final performance of the building; and

d) The instructions for the use and maintenance of the finished building, in accordance with the provisions of the CTE and other regulations that are applicable.

3. For the purposes of administrative processing, any construction project may be carried out in two stages: the basic project phase and the implementation project phase. Each of these phases of the project must meet the following conditions:

a) The basic project will define the general characteristics of the work and its benefits through the adoption and justification of concrete solutions. Its content will be sufficient to request the municipal works license, concessions or other administrative authorizations, but insufficient to initiate the construction of the building. Even if its content does not permit the verification of all the conditions required by the CTE, it shall define the performance that the projected building must provide in order to meet the basic requirements and, in no case, prevent its compliance; and

(b) The implementation project shall develop the basic project and define the work as a whole, without being able to reduce the performance declared in the basic project, or alter the uses and conditions under which, where appropriate, granted the municipal works license, concessions or other administrative authorizations, except in legal aspects. The implementation project shall include the partial projects or other technical documents which, where appropriate, must be developed or completed, which shall be integrated into the project as separate documents under the coordination of the project.

4. The contents of the building project are listed in Annex I, without prejudice to what, if any, the relevant administrations will establish.

6.2 Project Control.

Foreseeable influence: influence to be taken into account, in accordance with current regulations.

Municipal works license: administrative act by which the competent City Council authorizes the execution of the projected work, once its conformity with the applicable legality has been verified.

Maintenance: set of activities to preserve the building or the parts that make it so that, with adequate reliability, meet the requirements set out.

Planned Maintenance: Maintenance that, for each building, consists of the fulfillment of the Instructions for use and maintenance contained in the Building Book.

CE marking: marking to be carried out on the territory of the Member States of the European Union and of the European Economic Area for free movement within the territory of the Member States of the European Union, laid down in Directive 89 /106/EEC or other Directives which apply to them.

Interior Partitions: Building element of the building that divides its interior into separate enclosures. They can be vertical or horizontal (floors and ceilings).

Construction product: the one that is manufactured for permanent incorporation into a work including materials, semi-finished elements, components and works or part thereof, both finished and in process of execution.

Promoter: is the building agent that decides, drives, programs and finances building works.

Projector: is the agent that drafts the project on behalf of the promoter and subject to the corresponding technical and urban regulations.

Project: is the set of documents by which the technical requirements of the works referred to in Article 2 of the LOE are defined and determined, and in which the proposed solutions are technically justified the specifications required by the applicable technical regulations.

Basic project: phase of the work in which the general characteristics of the work are defined precisely, by means of the adoption and justification of concrete solutions. Its content is sufficient to request, once the required collegial visa, the municipal license or other administrative authorizations, but insufficient to initiate the construction.

Execution Project: phase of the work in which the basic project is developed, with the complete determination of details and specifications of all materials, elements, construction systems and equipment, defining the work in its entirety. Its content will be necessary for the performance of the works, with the required collegial visa and the corresponding license.

Partial projects: those that develop or complete the project in specific aspects related to specific technologies or installations of the building, defining with sufficient detail for its execution, its characteristics constructive. Its content shall be the one necessary for the performance of the works referred to in it and shall have the required collegial visa.

Thermal bridges: part of the thermal envelope of a building where normally uniform thermal resistance changes significantly due to:

a) Full or partial penetrations in the enclosure of a building, of materials with different thermal conductivity.

b) A change in the thickness of the factory; or

c) A difference between internal or external areas, such as joints between walls, floors, or ceilings.

Enclosure: Building space limited by enclosures, partitions, or any other separator element.

Habitable enclosure: indoor enclosure for the use of persons whose density of occupancy and length of stay require adequate acoustic, thermal and health conditions. The following are considered habitable enclosures:

(a) Rooms and rooms (bedrooms, dining rooms, libraries, salons, etc.) in residential buildings.

b) Classrooms, libraries, offices, in buildings for teaching use.

c) Quirophans, rooms, waiting rooms, in sanitary buildings.

d) Offices, offices; meeting rooms, in buildings for administrative use.

e) Cocinas, toilets, toilets, corridors and distributors, in buildings of any use.

f) Common circulation zones inside buildings.

g) Any other with an equivalent use to the above.

Non-habitable enclosures are considered to be non-habitable, those not intended for the permanent use of persons or whose occupation, because it is occasional or exceptional and for being under the time of stay, only justifies adequate health conditions. This category explicitly includes uninhabitable garages, storage rooms, non-conditioned technical cameras and desvanes, and their common areas.

Protected enclosure: enclosure included in the category of habitable enclosure but which has more restrictive acoustic characteristics that prevail over the requirements of the conventional habitable enclosures. The habitable enclosures referred to in paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) shall be considered in any case.

Basic building requirements: objectives derived from the social demand for the quality of the buildings and whose achievement must be sought both in the project and in the construction, maintenance and conservation of the buildings.

Ordinary waste: part of the urban waste generated in buildings, with the exception of:

(a) Dead domestic animals, furniture and goods; and

b) Waste and debris from under construction and home repair works.

Fire resistance: ability of a building element to maintain for a given period of time the carrying function that is required to it, as well as the integrity and thermal insulation in the terms specified in the relevant standard test.

Risk: measure of the extent of the danger posed by an unwanted event for people. A risk is expressed in terms of the probability linked to the consequences of an unwanted event.

Alternative solution: Any solution that differs completely or partially from those set in the DB.

Product suppliers: are all natural or legal persons who provide construction products to the works: manufacturers, storekeepers, importers or sellers of construction products.

Building Use: Activities that are performed in a building, or certain areas of a building, after they are put into service.

Expected usage: Specific use for which a building is projected and performed and must be documented. The intended use is characterized by the activities to be developed in the building and by the type of user.

User: is the agent who, by any title, enjoys the right of use of the building on an ongoing basis. You are required to use it properly in accordance with the instructions for use and maintenance contained in the Building Book.

Other Acceptions Used:

a) A person who habitually comes to a building in order to perform a given activity according to the intended use.

b) The property or its representative, even if you do not normally see the building.

c) Person who occasionally comes to a building in order to perform a given activity according to the intended use. For example: visitor, supplier, customer, etc.; or

d) People who do not go to the building, but which can be found, usually or occasionally, in their area of influence. For example: neighbors, bystanders, etc.
