General Information
Overview
prEN 18233 establishes a harmonized test procedure to determine the characteristic load resistance (Fp) and the characteristic plate stiffness (kp) of plate anchors used in ETICS kits. The standard defines specimen preparation, required test equipment, environmental conditioning, test execution and the statistical treatment of results to ensure repeatable values for design, product verification and quality control.
Keywords: plate anchors, ETICS, characteristic load resistance, plate stiffness, Fp, kp, test method, tensile testing, quality control
Key Topics
- Scope and purpose: Determination of the characteristic load resistance Fp (kN) and characteristic plate stiffness kp (kN/mm) of plate anchors in ETICS.
- Test principle: An anchor plate is pulled through a solid support ring with a defined tensile load while displacement is recorded to obtain a load–displacement curve.
- Equipment: Solid support ring (30 mm diameter, 24 mm clear inner diameter), displacement transducer (0,01 mm accuracy), clamping jaws and a tensile testing machine (0,01 kN accuracy).
- Specimens and conditioning: Five test specimens are required. Plate anchors made of polar plastics shall be conditioned to equilibrium moisture at (23 ± 2) °C and (50 ± 5) % RH until mass constancy.
- Test conditions & procedure: Measurements are taken at (23 ± 2) °C, (50 ± 5) % RH after conditioning. Tensile load is increased until failure at a rate of (1 ± 0,2) kN/min and maximum load and displacements are recorded.
- Result calculation:
- Characteristic load resistance (Fp): Determined from the 5 %-quantile of maximum loads for a 90 % confidence level using the statistical procedure referenced in the standard.
- Characteristic plate stiffness (kp): Expressed as the mean tangent stiffness of the tests. Tangent stiffness is determined from the slope at 1 mm displacement in the load–displacement diagram.
Applications
- Supporting safe ETICS system design by providing verified anchor loading and stiffness parameters for structural checks and thermal insulation fixing designs.
- Product performance verification and manufacturer quality control during development and production of plate anchors and ETICS kits.
- Input data for technical specifications, product declarations and technical assessment when anchorage performance influences system durability and safety.
- Reference method for testing laboratories to produce consistent, comparable results for certification and conformity tasks.
Related Standards
- EN 17237 (ETICS specification) - referenced for ETICS product requirements.
- EN ISO 9229 - terminology for thermal insulation.
- ISO 12491 - statistical methods for quality control of building materials and components.
This standard provides a concise, reproducible test framework for manufacturers, testing laboratories and specifiers seeking reliable anchor performance data for ETICS applications. The test report requirements ensure traceability by listing specimen identification, environmental conditions, raw results and calculated characteristic values.
