Overview

The European Standard prEN 16382 specifies the equipment and procedures for determining the pull-through resistance of anchors through thermal insulation products used in building applications. Developed by CEN Technical Committee CEN/TC 88, this standard focuses on testing how well anchors withstand tensile forces when embedded through layers of thermal insulation. Ensuring reliable anchor performance is critical for the safety and durability of external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS) and other insulated building elements.

Key Topics

  • Scope: prEN 16382 sets out a uniform methodology for assessing the pull-through resistance of anchors passing through various thermal insulation materials, which is essential for certifying their mechanical behavior and suitability in construction.

  • Test Principle: The pull-through resistance is evaluated by applying a direct tensile load perpendicular to the thermal insulation product surface using a tension plate glued to the test specimen.

  • Apparatus and Equipment:

    • Templates and clamps to securely fix insulation specimens during testing.
    • Tension plates designed to ensure uniform load transfer without deformation.
    • Compatible adhesives that do not influence test results or damage materials.
    • Tensile testing machines capable of controlled loading rates and precise force measurement.
  • Test Specimens: Samples reflect different installation scenarios, including anchors in the middle of insulation boards, at T-joints between boards, or on insulation with limited width. When applicable, concrete substrates can be used to simulate real-life anchoring conditions.

  • Test Procedure: The testing takes place under controlled environmental conditions (23 ± 3°C and 50 ± 10% relative humidity). Specimens are prepared, glued with tension plates, and clamped securely. The tensile machine applies a steadily increasing force until anchor pull-through failure occurs, measuring the maximum resistance.

  • Result Interpretation: The standard defines how to calculate characteristic pull-through resistance values based on multiple test specimens, ensuring accurate reflection of anchor performance.

Applications

  • Building Facades: Verifying the reliability of anchors used in attaching claddings or finishing coats over thermal insulation layers.

  • External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS): Essential for ensuring mechanical integrity of insulation anchorage systems that combine adhesives, anchors, reinforcement layers, and finishes.

  • Energy-Efficient Building Design: Supports proper fixation of insulation materials contributing to reduced heat loss and enhanced building thermal performance.

  • Product Development and Certification: Manufacturers of anchors, insulation boards, and fastening systems rely on this standard for quality control and compliance with European construction regulations.

  • Construction Safety: Prevents failures caused by insufficient anchoring strength, improving structural safety and longevity of insulated building components.

By adhering to prEN 16382 requirements, stakeholders in construction and manufacturing ensure that anchor systems embedded through thermal insulation products meet stringent safety and performance criteria. This standard thus plays a vital role in advancing energy-efficient building technologies and resilient construction practices across Europe and beyond.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN ISO 9229 and the following apply.
3.1
external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS)
system of factory-made products, delivered as a kit from the manufacturer and applied on site
NOTE It is comprised of the following components, specifically designed for use with the substrate:
 an adhesive and/or mechanical fixing device;
 a thermal insulation product;
 one or more layers of base coat, where at least one layer contains a reinforcement;
 a finishing material.
4 Principle
The pull-through resistance of anchors through thermal insulation products is determined by a direct tensile
load perpendicular to the surface of the thermal insulation product. The tensile load is applied by means of a
tension plate glued to the test area of the thermal insulation products.
5 Apparatus
5.1 General
The anchor to be tested is pulled through the thermal insulation product. The edges of the thermal insulation
product are fixed so by using a template with circular opening and clamps that they cannot get out of place
and twist during pulling through of the anchor. The tension load is introduced to the thermal insulation product
by a circular tension plate which fits into the circular opening of the template. The anchoring area of the
anchor is fixed by a suitable device.
5.2 Glue
The glue shall be suitable for surfaces of the thermal insulation product and for timber (e. g. solvent-free
epoxy adhesive or polyurethane adhesive). The glue shall not damage the thermal insulation material or the
anchors and not influence the results.
5.3 Template
The square templates (see Key 2 in Figure 3) are to choose so that they do not influence the results by
deformation. Suitable are e.g. glued wood plates of at least 20 mm thickness or steel plates of at least 7 mm
thickness. The circular recess is to choose so that for the anchor plate and thermal insulation product
thickness used the breakout cone is at each place at least 50 mm remote from the edge of the circular recess
of the template.
The distance of the circular recess from the edge of the template should be at least 25 mm.
The specimen of the thermal insulation product shall be at least as large as the outer dimensions of the
template.
NOTE 1 The diameter of the circular recess in the template, d , can be calculated from the diameter of the anchor plate
S
d , the thickness of the thermal insulation product t and the thermal insulation product variable m as follows:
P I
d = d + m × t. The constant m is a value that depends on the breaking appearance of the thermal insulation product.
S P I
Experience shows that the circular recess for anchor plates of 60 mm diameter and a thermal insulation product thickness
of 60 mm should be at least 300 mm, and the outer dimensions of the template should be 350 mm.
NOTE 2 The dimension of m should be given by a minimum distance of 25 mm between the breaking cone and the
circular recess of the template (see Figure 1).

5.4 Clamping device
The clamping devices serve for the fixation of the thermal insulation product between the templates. For each
edge of the template at least 2 clamps should be used so that shifting and twisting of the thermal insulation
