EN 13498 Thermal Insulation Products for Building Applications - Determination of Penetration Resistance of Exterior Thermal Insulation Composite Systems

EN 13498 is a European standard that focuses on determining the penetration resistance of Exterior Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS) used in building applications to increase energy efficiency and improve the appearance of buildings. This standard outlines the procedures and guidelines for conducting tests to evaluate how well these systems can resist penetration by various objects or forces.

Resistance to penetration is an important property of ETICS because it helps evaluate their durability and ability to withstand mechanical stresses, impacts and other forces that may be applied to the building's exterior surfaces.

The testing methodology described in EN 13498 involves subjecting ETICS samples to controlled penetration forces using specific equipment and procedures. The results of these tests provide valuable information about the system's ability to resist damage from impact, accidental contact, or other external forces.

If you are operating in the construction industry, building design or any field related to building materials and insulation, being aware of standards such as EN 13498 is essential to ensure that the products and systems you work with meet the required performance and safety criteria.
