Overview
EN 13498:2002 is a CEN test method for external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS). The standard specifies the equipment and procedure to determine the resistance to penetration of ETICS by measuring the maximum force required to press a defined penetration device into the system surface. It is applicable to ETICS used in building applications and supports product conformity assessment and specification.
Key Topics
- Scope and principle
- Defines a standardized test to quantify how an ETICS resists localized penetration by a steel penetration device.
- The result is the maximum force (in newtons) recorded during penetration.
- Test apparatus
- Compression testing machine with constant crosshead speed of (10 ± 1) mm/min and continuous force measurement (reading to 1%).
- Rigid plane-parallel plate and a steel cylinder penetration device: length ≥ 30 mm, diameter (20 ± 0.1) mm, hemispherical end radius (10 ± 0.05) mm.
- Test specimens and conditioning
- Coated ETICS specimens with base coat, reinforcement and finishing material prepared per manufacturer instructions.
- Minimum specimen size 200 × 200 × 60 mm; five specimens are required.
- Conditioning as specified in the relevant ETICS product standard (or agreed between parties if absent).
- Test procedure and conditions
- Test temperature: (23 ± 5) °C.
- Penetration device is pressed into the specimen center while recording force vs. displacement; the mean maximum force (rounded to 1 N) is reported.
- Reporting and accuracy
- Detailed test report requirements include product identification, component batch numbers, material properties, test procedure, individual results and mean value.
- The standard notes that a formal statement on measurement accuracy will be included in a future revision.
Applications
EN 13498 is used by:
- Manufacturers of ETICS for product development, quality control and to demonstrate mechanical performance of façade systems.
- Independent testing laboratories for standardized performance testing and certification.
- Specifiers, architects and façade engineers to compare ETICS resistance to localized impact or penetration as part of material selection and compliance documentation.
- Regulatory bodies and certification schemes that require documented test methods for construction product assessment.
Practical uses include evaluating durability of render systems, comparing different reinforcement and finishing configurations, and supporting claims about ETICS robustness against mechanical stress.
