Practical case · collaboration since 2023
EVA Optic lighting, fixed with PoolFIX
Since early 2023, EVA Optic has been supplying its lighting systems with fastening items from PoolFIX. In this way, fastening is treated as a separate technical component in swimming pool projects.

Collaboration
Formalised in early 2023
PoolFIX contribution
Nuts, bolts and screws
Selection basis
Project, location and load
Two specialisms, one project route
Fastening is part of the lighting system
EVA Optic develops lighting for swimming pool environments. PoolFIX focuses on fastening items and the associated material and documentation choices. In the collaboration, these elements are brought together earlier.
That makes fastening visible in the technical preparation: which item will be used, where will it be installed, which exposure and load are relevant, and which product documentation belongs with the supply?
The original EVA Optic publication refers to PoolFIX 5th generation and 1.4529. In the current PoolFIX route, PoolFIX Coated is assessed first where a released product-specific rule exists for it. 1.4529 remains a limited exception that requires a project-specific technical assessment.
What PoolFIX adds
From loose fastener to documented choice
The collaboration is not about one universal material, but about a traceable route to a suitable fastening solution.
Application-oriented selection
Location, exposure, substrate, load and installation are taken into account in the material choice.
Item-linked documentation
Available product and batch documentation is linked to the actual item supplied.
Clear escalation
If there is no released rule or project information, technical material advice follows instead of automatic approval.

How we work together
Four steps from project enquiry to supply
The fastening choice is not added afterwards, but treated as a traceable part of project preparation.
- 1
Record project details
Lighting system, fastening location, substrate, exposure and load are made specific.
- 2
Assess the material route
PoolFIX checks the available information against current, released product-specific application rules.
- 3
Choose item and documentation
The selected fastening is linked to the available technical product and supply documentation.
- 4
Supply and keep traceable
The project party receives the agreed items with the available item and batch information.
Clear division of roles
Specialist collaboration without a general product promise
EVA Optic remains the specialist in the lighting solution. PoolFIX supports the selection and supply of fastening items. Design, structural verification, installation, inspection and maintenance remain responsibilities within the relevant project.
This case describes the collaboration route. It is not a project-specific approval, structural calculation, declaration of conformity or replacement for current product documentation.
Discuss your application
Bring fastening into the project at an early stage too?
Share the location, load, substrate and exposure. PoolFIX will help map the available material route and documentation for your project.
