II. Specific conditions of the European Technical Approval (ETA)

1. Definition of the product and intended use

1.1 Definition of the productThe External Thermal Insulation Composite System WEBER.THERM EXTRA, hereinafter referred to as ETICS, is designed and installed in accordance with the ETA holder’s design and installation instructions, deposited with LNEC.

The ETICS is a partial bonded system. Supplementary fixing with anchors may also be used whenever necessary (see clause 4.2.2).

The ETICS comprises the components defined in Table 1, which are factory produced by the ETA holder or suppliers. The ETA holder is ultimately responsible for the ETICS.

1.2 Intended useThe ETICS WEBER.THERM EXTRA is intended for use as external thermal insulation of building walls. The walls are made of masonry (bricks or blocks) or concrete (cast on site or as prefabricated panels). The ETICS is designed to give the wall on 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.

1 See clause 2.3 for further description, characteristics and performances of components.

2 ETA based on ETAG 014 – Guideline for European Technical Approval of plastic anchors for fixing of external thermal insulation composite systems with rendering, edition January 2002.

The ETICS shall be designed and executed in accordance with the ETA holder’s instructions for fixing and installation.

The ETICS can be used on new or existing (retrofit) vertical walls. However it is not applicable to old thick and porous masonry walls subjected to water capillary rise or moisture accumulation of other origins. The system 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 provisions made in this European Technical Approval are based on an assumed working life of at least 25 years, provided that the conditions laid down in sections 4.2, 5.1 and 5.2 for the installation, packaging, transport, storage and installation, as well as appropriate use, maintenance and repair are met.

The indications given on the working life can not be interpreted as a guarantee given by the producer, but are to be regarded only as a means for choosing the right product in relation to the expected economically reasonable working life of the works.

2. Characteristics of the product and methods of verification

2.1 General

The identification tests and the assessment of the fitness for use of the ETICS according to the Essential Requirements were carried out in compliance with ETAG 004, “Guideline for European Technical Approval of External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems with rendering” (hereinafter referred to as “ETAG 004”).



2.2 ETICS characteristics

2.2.1 Reaction to fire

The reaction to fire was tested according to EN 13823:2002 and EN 11925-2:2002 and classified according to EN 13501-1:2007+A1:2009.

The ETICS meets the requirements of class B-s2, d0, according to EN 13501-1:2007+A1:2009.

Note: An European reference fire scenario has not been laid down for façades. In some Member States, the ETICS classification according to EN 13501-1:2007+A1:2009 might not be sufficient for the use in façades. 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.

2.2.2 Water absorption (capillary test)

The results of the water absorption test of the base coat (system without finishing), presented in Table 2, verify the following condition:

• Water absorption after 1 hour < 1 kg/m2

The system is therefore judged to have satisfactory performance concerning water absorption.

TABLE 2Water absorption (capillarity test)

2.2.3 Hygrothermal behaviour

Hygrothermal cycles have been performed on a rig.

None of the following defects occurred during the testing:

• blistering or peeling of the finishing;

• failure or cracking associated with joints between insulation product boards used in the system;

• detachment of render;

• cracking allowing water penetration to the insulation layer.

So the ETICS is assessed as resistant to hygrothermal cycles.

2.2.4 Freeze/thaw behaviour

The results of the water absorption test of the system with finishing, presented in Table 2, verify the following condition:

• Water absorption after 24 hours < 0.5 kg/m2

So the ETICS is assessed as freeze/thaw resistant without further testing.

2.2.5 Impact resistance

Results of the resistance to hard body impacts (3 Joules and 10 Joules) and to perforation lead to the use categories presented in Table 3.

impact; or at lower levels where access to the building is primarily to those with some incentive to exercise care; Category III – zones not likely to be damaged by normal impacts caused by people or by thrown or kicked objects.

2.2.6 Water vapour permeability

Table 4 shows that values of resistance to water vapour diffusion of the rendering system (base coat and finishing coat) do not exceed 2.0 m of equivalent air thickness.

2.2.7 Dangerous substances

A written declaration was submitted by the ETA holder stating that all ETICS components verify the established legal limits for products with some degree of toxicity.

In addition to the specific clauses relating to dangerous substances contained in this ETA, there may be other requirements applicable to the ETICS falling within its scope (e.g. transposed European legislation and national laws, regulations and administrative provisions). In order to meet the provisions of the Construction Product Directive, these requirements need also to be complied with, when and where they apply.

2.2.8 Bond strength

Tables 5 to 7 present the results of tests concerning bond strength between base coat and insulation product, between adhesive and insulation product, and between adhesive and substrate.

These results are within the ranges required in ETAG 004.

2.2.9 Thermal resistance

The corrected thermal transmittance of the entire wall including ETICS and thermal bridges is calculated in accordance with EN ISO 6946:2007:

Uc = U + χp.nwhere:

Uc corrected thermal transmittance of the entire wall including ETICS and thermal bridges (W/(m².K));

U thermal transmittance of the entire wall including ETICS without thermal bridges (W/(m².K));

n number of anchors (through insulation product) per m²;

χp point thermal transmittance value of an anchor (W/K). See EOTA Technical Report no. 025. If not specified in the anchor’s ETA, the following values apply:

= 0.002 W/K for anchors with a stainless steel screw with the head covered by plastic material and for anchors with an air gap at the head of the screw (χp.n negligible for n < 20);

= negligible for anchors with plastic nails (reinforced or not with glass fibres).

The term χp.n has only to be taken into account if it is greater than 0.04 W/(m².K).

The thermal transmittance of the entire wall including ETICS without thermal bridges is determined as follows:

U = 1 / (Ri + Rrender + Rsubstrate + Rse + Rsi)where:

Ri thermal resistance of the insulation product (see CE marking in reference to XPS according to EN 13164:2008) in m².K/W;

Rrender thermal resistance of the render (about 0.02 (m².K)/W);

Rsubstrate thermal resistance of the substrate (concrete, brick,…) in m².K/W;

Rse external surface resistance in m².K/W;

Rsi internal surface resistance in m².K/W.

The impact of the PVC profiles is negligible.

2.2.10 Aspects of durability and serviceability

The results of resistance to hard body impacts (3 Joules and 10 Joules) and to perforation (see clause 2.2.5), hygrothermal cycles (see clause 2.2.3) and freeze/thaw behaviour (see clause 2.2.4) are within the ranges required in ETAG 004.

The bond strength after ageing also verifies the ETAG 004 criteria (see clause 2.2.8).

The factory production control and the provisions taken by the ETA holder for those components shall be in accordance with the “control plan” 7 relating to this ETA which is part of the technical documentation of this European Technical Approval. The control plan is laid down in the context of the factory production control operated by the manufacturer and is deposited within LNEC.

The results of the factory production control shall be recorded and evaluated in accordance with the provisions of the control plan.

Other tasks for the manufacturer

For initial type-testing of the ETICS and components regarding other characteristics than reaction to fire, the results of the tests performed as part of the assessment for the European Technical Approval shall be used unless there are changes in the production line or plant. In such cases, the necessary initial type testing has to be agreed with LNEC.

The manufacturer shall, on the basis of a contract, involve a body (bodies) which is (are) notified for the tasks referred to in clause 3.1 in the field of ETICS in order to undertake the actions laid down in clause 3.2.2. For this purpose, the control plan referred to above and in clause 3.2.2 shall be handed over by the manufacturer to the notified body (bodies) involved.

The manufacturer shall make a declaration of conformity, stating that the construction product is in conformity with the provisions of this ETA. The initial type-testing mentioned above could be taken over by the manufacturer for this declaration.

3.2.2 Tasks for the notified body (bodies)

The notified body (bodies) shall perform:

• initial inspection of factory and of factory production control;

• continuous surveillance, assessment and approval of factory production control.

Within the scope of the initial inspection of factory and of factory production control, the notified body (bodies) shall ascertain that the factory (in particular employees and equipment) and the factory production control are suitable to ensure continuous and orderly manufacturing of components.

7 The control plan is a confidential part of the European Technical Approval and is only handed over to the approved body or bodies involved in the procedure of attestation of conformity. See clause 3.2.2.



Within the scope of continuous surveillance, assessment and approval of factory production control, the notified body (bodies) shall visit the factory at least once a year for surveillance of this manufacturer having a FPC system complying with EN ISO 9001 covering the manufacturing of the ETICS components. It has to be verified that the factory production control and the specified automated manufacturing process are maintained.

These tasks shall be performed in accordance with the provisions laid down in the control plan.

The notified body (bodies) shall retain the essential points of its (their) actions referred to above and state the results obtained and conclusions drawn in a written report.

The notified certification body involved by the manufacturer shall issue an EC certificate of conformity of the factory production control stating the conformity with the provisions of this ETA.

In cases where the provisions of the ETA and its control plan are no longer fulfilled, the notified certification body shall withdraw the certificate of conformity and inform LNEC without delay.

3.3 CE markingThe CE marking shall be affixed on the product itself, on a label attached to it, on its packaging or on the commercial documents accompanying the components of the ETICS. The letters “CE” shall be followed by the identification number of the notified certification body involved and be accompanied by the following additional information:

Changes to the ETICS or production process which could result in this deposited data/information being incorrect should be notified to LNEC before the changes are introduced. LNEC 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.

The components of the ETICS shall correspond, as far as their composition and manufacturing process are concerned, to the products subject to the approval tests.

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 the ETICS is easily accessible to the concerned people. This information can be given using reproductions of the respective parts of the ETA. Besides, all 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 user shall comply with the national regulations and particularly concerning fire and wind load resistance.

Only the components described in clause 1.1 with characteristics according to section 2 can be used for the ETICS.

The requirements given in ETAG 004, chapter 7, as well as the information given in clauses 4.2.2 and 4.2.3 of this ETA, have to be considered.

4.2.2 Design

To bond the ETICS, the minimal surface area and the method of bonding shall comply with characteristics of the ETICS (see clause 2.2) as well as the national regulations. In any case, the bonded surface shall be at least 30%.

The supplementary fixing with anchors shall be used whenever and in the conditions prescribed by the ETA holder.

4.2.3 Execution

The recognition and preparation of the substrate as well as the execution of the ETICS shall be carried out in compliance with:

• chapter 7 of ETAG 004,

• national regulations.



The particularities in execution linked to the different methods of fixing and the application of the rendering system shall be handled in accordance with ETA holder prescriptions. In particular it is suitable to comply with the quantities of rendering applied, the thickness regularity and the drying times.

5. Indications to the manufacturers

5.1 Packaging, transport and storagePackaging of the components has to be such that the products are protected from moisture during transport and storage, unless other measures are foreseen by the manufacturer for this purpose.

The components have to be protected against damage.

It is the responsibility of the manufacturers to ensure that these provisions are easily accessible to the concerned people.

5.2 Use, maintenance, repairThe finishing coat shall normally be maintained in order to fully preserve the ETICS’s performances.

Maintenance includes at least:

• the repair of localised damaged areas due to accidents;

• the aspect maintenance with products adapted and compatible with the ETICS (possibly after washing or ad hoc preparation).

Necessary repairs should be done rapidly.

It is important to be able to carry out maintenance as far as possible using readily available products and equipment, without spoiling appearance.

It is the responsibility of the manufacturers to ensure that these provisions are easily accessible to the concerned people.
