1.2 Intended use

This ETICS is intended for use as external insulation of buildings walls. The walls are
made of masonry (bricks, blocks, stones ) or concrete (cast on site or as prefabricated
panels) with and without rendering (Class A1 or A2-s1,d0 according to EN 13501-1). The
ETICS is designed to give the wall to which it is applied satisfactory thermal insulation.
The ETICS is made of non load-bearing construction elements. It does not contribute
directly to the stability of the wall on which it is installed, but it can contribute to durability
by providing enhanced protection from the effect of weathering.
The ETICS can be used on new or existing (retrofit) vertical walls. It can also be used on
horizontal or inclined surfaces, which are not exposed to precipitation.
The ETICS is not intended to ensure the air tightness of the building structure.
The choice of the method of fixing depends on the characteristics of the substrate, which
could need preparation (see 7.2.1 of the ETAG no. 004) and shall be done in
accordance with the national instructions.
The provisions made in this European Technical Approval (ETA) are based on an
assumed intended working life of at least 25 years. The indications given as to the
working life cannot be interpreted as a guarantee given by the manufacturer or the
Approval Body, but should only be regarded as a means for choosing the appropriate
products in relation to the expected economically reasonable working life of the works.

2 Characteristics of product and methods of verification

2.1 General

The identification tests and the assessment of the fitness for use of this ETICS according
to the Essential Requirements were carried out in compliance with the ETA Guidance no.
004 concerning External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems with rendering (called
ETAG no. 004 in this ETA).

Mounting and fixing

(for all end use applications given in clause 1.2 of the ETA)
The assessment of reaction to fire is based on tests according to EN 13823 SBI-test and
EN 1716) with a maximum insulation layer thickness of 180 mm, a density of 100 kg/M
(testing according to EN 13823 SBI-test) resp. 150 kg/m (testing according to EN ISO
1716) as well as a rendering system with the highest organic content (silicate based
finishing coat).
The manufacturer of the tested MW panels is Deutsche Rockwool Mineralwolle-GmbH
45966 Gladbeck. MW panels of other manufacturers and MW lamella can be used if they
fulfil the requirements of clause 2.3.1 and are deposited with the UBAtc.
Representative for the rendering system with the highest organic content was a silicate
based finishing coat with the highest thickness of 3,5 mm.
Testing according to EN 1716 was carried out with an adhesive with the highest organic
content.
For the SBI-test the ETICS was mounted directly to a calcium silicate substrate (class A2-
s1,d0) according to EN 13238 with a thickness of 11 mm.
The installation of the ETICS was carried out by the approval holder following his design
and installation instructions using a single mesh all over the test specimen (no
overlapping glass fibre mesh).
The test specimens were prefabricated and did not include any joints.
For the SBI-test the lateral edges were covered with the rendering system.
Anchors were not included in the tested ETICS as they have no influence on the test
result.
Note:
A European reference fire scenario for facades has not been laid down. In some Member
States, the classification of ETICS according to EN 13501-1 might not be sufficient for the
use in facades. An additional assessment of ETICS according to national provisions (e.g.
on the basis of a large scale test) might be necessary to comply with Member State
regulations, until the existing European classification system has been completed.

2.2.3 Hygrothermal behaviour

Hygrothermal cycles have been performed on a rig.

None of the following defects occur during the testing:
- blistering or peeling of any finishing,
- failure or cracking associated with joints between insulation product boards or profiles
fitted with system,
- detachment of render,
- cracking allowing water penetration to the insulation layer.

The ETICS is so assessed resistant to hygrothermal cycles.

2.2.4 Freeze / thaw behaviour

The system is assessed as freeze-thaw resistant if the water absorption of both the base
coat and the rendering system are less than 0,5 kg/m after 24 hours.

As shown in 2.2.2 of this European technical approval the water absorption of both the
base coat and the following finishing coats is less than 0,5 kg/m after 24 hours and so
the system is assessed as being freeze / thaw resistant without any further testing:
- StoMiral Nivel F/G + StoSilco Color
- StoMiral Nivell F/G + StoColor Jumbosil
- StoMiral Terrazzo
- Sto-Strukturputz K/R + StoSilco Color
- Sto-Strukturputz K/R + StoColor Jumbosil
- StoMiral K/R/MP

The freeze/thaw performance of the base coat with the following finishing coats has been
tested according to the simulated method.
- StoSilikatputz K/R
- StoMiral Edelkratzputz
- StoSil K/R/MP

2.2.9 Thermal resistance

The thermal transmittance of the substrate wall covered by the ETICS is calculated in
accordance with the standard EN ISO 6946:

Uc = U + DU
Where:
DU = p .n influence of thermal bridges. Has only to be taken into account if it is
greater than 0,04 W/mK
Uc: global thermal transmittance of the covered wall (W/ (m.K)
n: number of anchors (through insulation product) per m
p: local influence of thermal bridge caused by an anchor. The values listed below
can be taken into account if not specified in the anchors ETA:
= 0.002 W/K for anchors with a stainless steel screw covered by plastic
anchors and for anchors with an air gap at the head of the screw
( p .n negligible for n < 20)
= 0.004 W/K for anchors with a galvanized steel screw with the head not
covered by a plastic material ( p .n negligible for n < 10)
= negligible for anchors with plastic nails (reinforced or not with glass fibres )
U: thermal transmittance of the current part of the covered wall (excluding thermal
bridges) (W/ (m.K)) determined as follows:

U = (Ri + Rrender + Rsubstrate + Rse + Rsi)-1

Page 14 of the European Technical Approval StoTherm Mineral
English translation by UBAtc

Where:
Ri: thermal resistance of the insulation product (see CE marking in reference to EPS
EN 13 163)
Rrender: thermal resistance of the render (about 0.02 (m.K)/W)
Rsubstrate: thermal resistance of the substrate of the building (concrete, brick ) ((m.K)/W)
Rse: external superficial thermal resistance ((m.K)/W)
Rsi: internal superficial thermal resistance ((m.K)/W)

The influence of the aluminium profiles is negligible.

4 Assumptions under which the fitness of the product for the intended use
was favourably assessed
4.1 Manufacturing

The European Technical Approval is issued for the ETICS on the basis of agreed
data/information, deposited with the UBAtc, which identifies the ETICS that has been
assessed and judged. Changes to the ETICS or production process, which could result in
the deposited data/information being incorrect, should be notified to the UBAtc before the
changes are introduced. The UBAtc will decide whether or not such changes affect the
ETA and consequently the validity of the CE-marking on the basis of the ETA and if so
whether further assessment or alterations to the ETA shall be necessary.

4.2 Installation

4.2.1 General
It is the responsibility of the ETA-holder to guarantee that the information about design
and installation of this ETICS are easily accessible to the concerned people. This
information can be given using reproductions of the respective parts of the European
Technical Approval. Besides, all the data concerning the execution shall be clearly
indicated on the packaging and/or the enclosed instruction sheets using one or several
illustrations.
In any case, the use shall to comply with the national regulations and particularly
concerning fires and wind load resistance.
Only the components described in clause 1.1 with characteristics according to clause 2 of
this ETA can be used for the ETICS.
The requirements given in ETAG 004, chapter 7,as well as the information of paragraphs
4.2.2 and 4.2.3 have to be considered.

4.2.1.1 Design

To bond the ETICS, the minimal bonded surface and the method of bonding shall
comply with characteristics of the ETICS (see 2.1.8.1 of this ETA) as well as the
national regulations. In any case, the minimal bonded surface shall at least be 40% for
bonded mineral wool lamella.

To mechanically fix the ETICS, the choice and the rate of the fixings shall be
determined considering:
- The design wind load suction and the national regulations (taking into account the
national safety factors, the design rules, );
- The characteristic resistance of the anchors into the considered substrate (see
installation parameters effective anchorage, characteristic resistance ... in the
ETA of the anchor and/or in the annex(es) of this ETA),
- The safety in use of the ETICS (cf. 2.1.8), according to the method of fixing.
