Introduction
The treatment of exterior wood surfaces has both aesthetic and protective functions. A vital purpose of a
coating system is to protect the wood against aesthetic deterioration (e.g. blue stain attack) and
dimensional changes. Because such attacks are mainly caused by high moisture contents in the wood, a
knowledge of the relative water permeability properties of coating materials applied to exterior wood is
helpful in selecting products for particular end-use applications, as described in EN 927-1.
1 Scope
This document specifies a test method for assessing the liquid water permeability of coating systems for
exterior wood.

3.1
water absorption
ability of a coated or uncoated wood panel to absorb water from liquid or vapour
3.2
water permeability
ability of a coating system to allow the transmission of water as liquid or vapour
[SOURCE: EN 927-1:2013, 3.13]
3.3
stable mass
mass achieved when the difference between two subsequent weighings within 24 h does not exceed
0,2 %
4 Principle
Water permeability is assessed by measuring the water uptake over a 72 h period of a coated test panel
exposed to liquid water.
The coating under test is applied to the face of a defined test panel where the remaining face and sides
are carefully sealed using a sealer of a defined mandatory low permeability.
Results are expressed as water absorption of coated wood panels in grams per square metre test surface
per 72 h.
5 Test panels
5.1 Wood
The wood shall be spruce (Picea abies) that has been selected to be free from knots and cracks, to be
straight-grained and of normal growth rate (i.e. between 3 and 8 annual rings per 10 mm). The inclination
of the growth rings to the test face shall be (45 ± 10)°. See Figure 1.
The wood shall be free from blue stain and evidence of surface or bulk infection. Abnormal porosity
(caused by bacterial attack) shall be avoided.
Abnormally porous wood can be detected qualitatively by the rapid absorption of a drop of propan-2-ol
(isopropanol) applied to the surface; the drop should not be absorbed in less than 30 s by normal wood.
The test should be carried out at not less than six places, widely separated on the rear face of the test
panel.
3 3
The density of the wood shall be between 0,4 g/cm and 0,5 g/cm when measured at an equilibrium
moisture content of approximately 12 %. The measured density shall be recorded.
Condition the wood prior to conversion into test panels in accordance with ISO 554 at (20 ± 2) °C and a
relative humidity of (65 ± 5) %.

5.2 Preparation and selection of test panels
Convert the conditioned wood into panels (340 ± 2) mm × (70 ± 2) mm × (20 ± 2) mm in size. It is
intended that after coating one panel 150 mm in length will be cut from each end of this 340 mm long
panel. This will leave an off-cut approximately 35 mm in length from the middle of the panel, to be used
in due course for the de
