Practical case · collaboration since 2023
EVA Optic lighting, secured with PoolFIX
Since early 2023, EVA Optic has equipped its lighting systems with PoolFIX fasteners. This brings fastening in as a separate technical element in pool projects.

Collaboration
Formalized 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 pool environments. PoolFIX focuses on fasteners 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 is used, where it is installed, which exposure and load are relevant, and which product documentation belongs with the supply?
The original EVA Optic publication mentions PoolFIX 5th generation and 1.4529. In the current PoolFIX route, PoolFIX Coated is first assessed where there is an approved product-specific rule 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 verifiable route to a suitable fastening.
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 delivered item.
Clear escalation
If no approved rule or project information is available, technical material advice follows rather than automatic approval.

How we work together
Four steps from project request to delivery
The fastening choice is not added afterwards, but handled as a verifiable part of project preparation.
- 1
Record project data
Lighting system, fastening location, substrate, exposure and load are defined concretely.
- 2
Assess the material route
PoolFIX checks the available information against current, approved product-specific application rules.
- 3
Select item and documentation
The chosen fastening is linked to the available technical product and delivery documentation.
- 4
Deliver and keep traceability
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 fasteners. 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
Include fastening early in the project too?
Share the location, load, substrate and exposure. PoolFIX helps map the available material route and documentation for your project.
