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 part of EN 927 specifies a test method for assessing the liquid water permeability of coating systems for
exterior wood.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
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
[EN 927-1]
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
72h.
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.
5
---------------------- Page: 6 ----------------------
EN 927-5:2006 (E)
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.
The density of the wood shall be between 0,4 g/cm³ and 0,5 g/cm³ 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 C approximately 40 mm in length from the middle of the panel, to be used in due course for
c
the determination of film thickness (see 5.3.5 and Figure 2).
The panels shall be planed all round to a smooth and uniform finish. Any panels showing surface splitting shall
be rejected.

5.3 Preparation of coated and uncoated panels
5.3.1 Wood conditioning
Prior to coating, condition the panels to constant mass in accordance with ISO 554 at (20 ± 2) °C and a
relative humidity of (65 ± 5) %. Panels shall be weighed at intervals of not less than one day until they have
reached a stable mass (see 3.3).
5.3.2 Panel selection
Select three panels for each of the coatings to be tested. Select also three panels for testing the sealer
product; this set of panels will serve as sealed controls (see Figure 2).
Mark each panel to identify the test face as that convex to the annual rings.

EN 927-5:2006 (E)
5.3.3 Coating application
Coating systems shall be applied according to the manufacturers specifications.
Apply each test coating system to the test face only (convex side of the panels).
Each coating system under test requires 3 test panels (340 mm × 70 mm ×20 mm).
When the coating systems have dried, cut a test panel 150 mm in length from both ends of each long panel
(see Figure 2).
The three small coated off-cuts C are used for the determination of film thickness.
c
Three additional panels are required to check the test face with the selected sealer. This sealer and the
number of layers should be identical with the later on used sealer for sealing the test panels (150 mm × 70
mm ×20 mm). The liquid water permeability of the sealer shall not exceed 30 g/m² in 72 h (see Figure 2).
Additional information is given in Annex B.
5.3.4 Sealing and conditioning
Panels shall be sealed in the same way whether they are applied for test coatings or control of sealer. Seal
the sides, end-grains and reverse faces of the panels against water entry using at least two coats of a flexible
moisture-impermeable coating, for example a solvent-free epoxy or polyurethane paint. The sealer shall cover
the edges completely and overlap the test face by 2 mm (see Figure 3). Apply the sealer to the end grain so
many times that a closed and uniform film is obtained.

After sealing, condition the panels in the controlled environment (see 5.3.1) until constant mass is achieved
(for typically 7 to 28 days). After drying of the sealer measure and record the actual test area of each panel
(see Figure 3).

5.3.5 Dry film thickness
Determine the dry film thickness of the coating on the off-cuts (see Figure 2) of the test panels. Remove one
small chip of coated wood from each of the off-cuts and examine by microscopy in accordance with prEN ISO
2808:2004, method 6A. Make 5 measurements on each chip and calculate and record the mean value in
micrometres.
The dry film thickness is defined as the thickness of the layer on (above) the wood surface. Systems may
penetrate the wood material to some extent, but this part is not included in the determination.

6.1 Microscope for measurement of dry film thickness in accordance with prEN ISO 2808:2004, method 6A.
6.2 Conditioning room, of appropriate size, controlled at a temperature of (20 ± 2) °C and a relative humidity
of (65 ± 5) %, in accordance with ISO 554.
6.3 Container for deionized water, of size sufficient to hold the all the panels under test.
6.4 Balance, capable of weighing to the nearest 0,01 g.
