External thermal insulation composite systems with mechanical fixing (using profiles)
External thermal insulation composite systems, or ETICS for short, are multi-layer systems used to insulate the external wall of a building. The ETICS consists of insulation boards, a type of fixing and a rendering system comprised of a reinforced base coat and a decorative finishing coat.
The ETICS described here are used on mineral substrates. The insulation boards are fixed with vertical and horizontal profiles, and additional anchors where applicable. Different insulation products can be used.
If expanded polystyrene is used as an insulation product, special constructive fire protection measures need to be observed.
For CE-marked ETICS, see ETICS bearing the CE marking.
Regulatory framework
In this work area, DIBt grants national technical approvals (abZ) in combination with general construction technique permits (aBG).
National procedure
To prepare an abZ/aBG for your construction product, we need an application from you. We recommend that you contact us prior to doing so. Feel free to send us your enquiry informally via email to dibt(at)dibt(.)de or to the competent technical contact listed in the top right.
For a first assessment, please send us the following information:
- Description of the construction product and its intended field of use
- e.g. material, configuration, number of sizes, variants, dimensions
- e.g. use in walls, ceilings, interior construction, building services
- Description of the construction technique and its field of application
- e.g. design of walls, ceilings, elements, etc., and interaction of components
- e.g. application in foundation engineering, reinforced concrete construction, building insulation; as load-bearing or non-load-bearing component; under static and quasi-static loading; fire exposure; other environmental exposures
- Information regarding impact on regulatory concerns
- in particular structural integrity, fire protection, health and environment protection, sound insulation as well as thermal performance
- Explanation of need for an abZ/aBG
- Do you significantly deviate from the Technical Building Rules?
- Or do neither Technical Building Rules nor generally recognised technical rules exist?
- Contact details
- preferably email address and/or telephone number, as well as name, organisation/company, and postal address
We will then contact you to clarify the next steps.
If you already hold a DIBt approval and/or construction technique permit and wish to apply for an amendment, supplement, or renewal, please use the form provided below.
