3. Prepare a bill of materials, including a suitable work plan and retrieval/order of the materials required.

4. Determine the required suspension points in accordance with the classes of use of EN 13964. The corresponding suspension distances for the different systems can be taken from the detailed descriptions of the individual ceiling systems.

5. Define which generally approved dowel is suitable.

Check the raw ceiling and the walls.

Mark the dowel mounting holes and drill them.

Mount the dowels as specified by the dowel manufacturer and carry out extraction tests using the device recommended by the dowel manufacturer, if necessary.
