1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the equipment and procedures for determining the hygrothermal behaviour
of external thermal insulation composite systems with renders on thermal insulation boards (ETICS) delivered
as a kit and used as thermal insulation for buildings.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
adhesive for ETICS
product used for bonding the thermal insulation material to the substrate
3.2
base coat for ETICS
layer according EN 998-1 or EN 15824 applied directly on to the thermal insulation material. It contains the
reinforcement. The base coat provides most of the mechanical properties of an ETICS
3.3
external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS)
system of factory made products, delivered as a kit from the manufacturer and applied on site
NOTE 1 It comprises 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.
NOTE 2 Adapted from EN ISO 9229:2007, definition 2.4.2.2.

3.4
finishing material for ETICS
organic an/or inorganic materials according EN 998-1, EN 1062-1 or EN 15824, forming the final layer of an
ETICS
NOTE A key coat (primer) and a decorative coat may be part of the finishing coat.
3.5
mechanical fixing devices for ETICS
devices for securing thermal insulation systems to the substrate, for example rails or anchors
3.6
reinforcement for ETICS
materials embedded in the base coat to improve its mechanical strength
3.7
thermal insulation material

nature and/or its physical structure
[EN ISO 9229]
3.8
test wall
the wall as substrate covered by the ETICS to test the hygrothermal behaviour
4 Principle
To simulate the aging of an ETICS under the influence of heating by solar radiation, rain, and air temperature
in practice with testing the hygrothermal behaviour at direct heating, wetting and freeze/thaw in several cycles.
5 Testing devices
The following test devices are necessary:
 wetting device: To wet the full surface of the test wall with tap water with a temperature of (15 ± 5) °C and
an amount of between 1 l/(m² · min) and 1,5 l/(m² · min) with the use of spraying nozzles to assure
uniform water distribution;
 heating device: To heat the surface of the wall regulated to (70 ± 5) °C. At the heating time, the relative
humidity of the air close to the surface of the wall shall be less than 30 %;
 cooling device: To cool the surface of the test wall to (-15 ± 5) °C.

6 Test wall
6.1 Preparation of the test wall
The substrate shall be made of masonry or concrete if not otherwise specified.
The dimensions of the weathered surface of the wall shall be (see Figure 1):
 surface ≥ 5 m²;
 width ≥ 2,5 m;
 height ≥ 2 m.
In the middle of the upper 2/3 of the total height of the wall an opening with a width of (0,5 ± 0,1) m and a
height of (0,5 ± 0,1) m is included (see Figure 1). The opening can be obtained by a recess in the insulation
material.
Two different configurations can be tested on one test wall. In this case the wall must be divided vertically in
the middle and one component can be modified, i.e. the thermal insulation product or the base coat or the
finishing coat according to Fig
