Introduction
EN 1062-1 identifies criteria that need to be considered when assessing the suitability of a coating system for a
particular end use and provides a framework for communicating this information between manufacturer and user.
This should assist in the removal of technical barriers to trade. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer of a
coating system to designate the appropriate categories for end use and appearance.
NOTE 1 Where applicable, the relevant properties can also be used to describe products designed for use on interior
surfaces of buildings.
NOTE 2 The characteristics of the coating material should conform to national regulations with regard to health, safety and
the environment.
1 Scope
This European Standard specifies a general system for the description of coating materials and coating systems for
the preservation, decoration and protection of exterior new and old, coated or uncoated masonry and concrete. It
also includes a classification system based on certain physical properties.
This European Standard is applicable to all coating materials and coating systems for exterior masonry and
concrete, including those for use in external thermal insulation systems.
2 Normative references
This European Standard incorporates, by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These
normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For
dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European
Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this European Standard, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
coating material
product, in liquid or in paste or powder form, that, when applied to a substrate, forms a film possessing protective,
decorative and/or other specific properties
[EN 971-1:1996]
3.2
coating system
sum total of the coats of coating materials which are to be applied or which have been applied to a substrate
[EN 971-1:1996]
3.3
coating system for masonry and concrete
coating system for the treatment of mineral substrates in order to preserve, decorate and/or protect them
3.4
decoration
treatments with the primary objective to change or restore the appearance of the substrate
NOTE Functions of these treatments are colour, gloss and texture. They can also include protective functions.
3.5
preservation
treatments with the primary objective to keep the substrate in a condition as near as possible to its original state
and appearance of gloss, colour and texture
NOTE Functions of these treatments are, for example, water repellence and/or improvement of the integrity of the
substrate. They can also include protective functions and may be used for pre-treatment.
3.6
protection
treatments with the primary objective to protect the substrate against one or more of the following influences: water,
atmospherical, chemical, biological, mechanical or other actions
NOTE These treatments can also include decorative functions.
4 Description
4.1 Description by chemical type of binder
Description by chemical type of binder shall be derived from that component of the binder which is decisive for the
characteristic properties of the final coating system.
The chemical type of the binder shall be given using, for example, the following terms for binders:
Acrylic resin, alkyd resin, bitumen, cement, chlorinated rubber, epoxy resin, hydraulic lime, oil, polyester, silicate,
silicone resin, polyurethane, vinyl resin.
NOTE 1 This list of terms is not exhaustive to allow for additional binders to be described as coating technology advances.
NOTE 2 The quality of a masonry coating material is not dependent solely on the binder types used. The amount of binder(s)
and/or other constituents can be of greater importance.
4.2 Description by the state of dissolution or dispersion of the binder in the coating material
Water-dilutable: binders dissolved or dispersed in water. Viscosity adjustment can be performed with water
according to manufacturers recommendations
Solvent-dilutable: binders dissolved or dispersed in organic solvents. Viscosity adjustment can be performed with
organic solvents according to manufacturers recommendations
5 Classification
5.1 General
Coating systems in terms of this standard have to be suitable for exterior masonry (e.g. facades) and concrete. The
durability of the coating system on the substrate depends on the local climatic environmental conditions. Indications
of the durability of the coating system on the respective substrate can be provided after conditioning according EN
1062-11. The conditioning according EN 1062-11 shall be adapted to the local climatic conditions at the usage site.
NOTE Assessment of the properties of the coating system after conditioning can be done according to EN ISO 4628-1, EN
ISO 4628-2, EN ISO 4628-4, EN ISO 4628-6 and EN ISO 4628-7. Different criteria for the assessment of the change of the
properties can be agreed between the parties involved.
Properties and characteristics of coating systems for masonry and concrete are classified in 5.2 to 5.8. The coating
systems are assessed independently of the substrate to which the material is intended to be applied. Properties
such as adhesion and texture that depend on the substrate have, therefore, not been included. It is essential that
the coating system adheres properly to the appropriately prepared substrate to which it is applied.
Where applicable, the characteristics of the complete coating system, including method(s) of application, colour
and opacity, should be agreed between supplier, specifier, applicator and end user. Requirements for substrate
preparation shall also be specified and observed.
Coating thickness and texture are subject to the manufacturer's recommendations for use and can be affected by
the method of application, the properties of the substrate and the formulation. These factors affect many important
properties of the coating system such as dirt pick-up, water vapour and carbon dioxide permeability, liquid water
permeability and general appearance.
To achieve an effective coating system, the materials shall be applied in line with manufacturer’s
recommendations. It is recommended that the coating system be applied to a trial area in order to determine
whether it will require sealers and/or primers (reference surface).
5.2 Gloss
Specular gloss shall be determined in acco
