Overview

EN 13499:2003 - published by CEN - defines requirements for factory-made kits for External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS) based on expanded polystyrene (EPS). The standard covers product characteristics, testing procedures, marking and labelling for ETICS delivered as complete systems used to improve the thermal insulation of external walls and soffits. EN 13499:2003 applies to ETICS with a declared thermal resistance ≥ 1 m²·K/W and to systems where the insulation material contributes to load transfer to the substrate.

Key topics and requirements

  • System scope: Complete, system-specific kits including EPS boards, adhesive, mechanical fixings, base coats with reinforcement, reinforcement meshes, and finishing materials.
  • Thermal performance: Declaration of thermal resistance and conductivity in accordance with building insulation calculation standards.
  • Mechanical properties: Requirements and test procedures for mechanical resistance and stability of system components (e.g., tensile bond strength of adhesives and base coats; pull-off resistance for mechanically fixed systems).
  • Durability and weathering: Tests for liquid water permeability, resistance to impact and penetration, water-vapour permeability, and finishing coat adhesion.
  • Reaction to fire: Classification and test methods for reaction to fire (referenced fire tests and classifications).
  • Quality control and conformity: Factory production control (normative Annex A) and conformity evaluation procedures.
  • Marking & labelling: Mandatory information on accompanying documents and labels for all kit components.
  • Limitations: EN 13499:2003 does not cover the strength between the ETICS and the building substrate itself; national regulations governing mechanical resistance and stability must be observed.

Applications

These systems are used as thermal insulation for buildings and are applied to external surfaces of walls and soffits. The standard describes product characteristics, testing procedures, marking, and labeling. ETICS improve thermal insulation, protect against weathering, and enhance the appearance of buildings. However, they do not contribute to the stability of the walls or soffits they are installed on. The standard covers systems where the thermal insulation material is necessary for load transfer to the substrate and requires a declared thermal resistance of 1 m²×K/W or greater. Mechanical resistance and stability requirements from national regulations should also be considered. The standard does not cover the strength between the ETICS and the building surface it is fixed to, known as the substrate.
