Overview
EN 13497:2018/prA1 is a CEN draft amendment to the European standard that specifies the equipment and procedure for determining the resistance to impact of design External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS) with renders. The amendment clarifies specimen support, refines the optional steel-ball descent tube and updates conditioning procedures by reference to EN 16383 test cycles.
This standard is essential for manufacturers, test laboratories and specifiers who need a consistent, repeatable test method for assessing ETICS impact performance and for supporting product specification, quality control and regulatory conformity.
Key Topics
- Scope and purpose: Defines equipment and procedure to determine ETICS resistance to impact for design kits with renders.
- Specimen support: Amendment requires that the test specimen shall be firmly held to prevent movement during the test, improving repeatability and reliability of results.
- Optional tube to control descent of steel ball: The amendment replaces Table 1 with revised impact energy levels, steel ball diameters, weights and specified drop heights to standardize impact inputs for different test severities.
- Conditioning and sealing: Procedure 1 is updated to reference EN 16383 test cycles. Conditioning options now include:
- heating and wetting (hw),
- heating and wetting plus heating and cooling (hwc),
- heating and wetting plus heating and cooling plus wetting, freezing and thawing (hwcft).
- Language and administrative details: The amendment is available in English, French and German and is prepared by CEN/TC 88.
Applications
- Product development: Use the test to evaluate ETICS design choices (insulation materials, render types, fixing methods) under defined impact loads.
- Quality control: Establish production acceptance criteria and verify batch consistency using standardized impact test methods.
- Specification and procurement: Architects and contractors can reference EN 13497:2018/prA1 to require verified impact resistance for façades in exposed locations.
- Regulatory and compliance evidence: Test reports created under the standard support claims about durability and performance in tenders and compliance documentation.
Related Standards
- EN 13497:2018 (base standard) - original method for ETICS impact testing.
- EN 16383 - referenced for conditioning test cycles (hw, hwc, hwcft) used in the amendment.
- Other CEN/TC 88 deliverables on thermal insulating materials and products for broader product and performance context.
By aligning test setup (firm specimen fixation), impact energy tables and conditioning cycles, EN 13497:2018/prA1 improves reproducibility and relevance of ETICS impact resistance testing. Stakeholders should consult the full amendment text and coordinate with notified test laboratories when implementing the revised requirements.
