Specifications of intended use

Scope
According the EAD 090062-00-0404 / Cladding family B
Anchorages subject to:
Static and quasi-static loads

Design
The design of the external wall claddings for ventilated façades using Hanex Façade kit comprising "Hanex façade
panels" and the associated fixings should take into account:

− It is assumed that the substrate wall meets the necessary requirements regarding the mechanical strength
(resistance to static and dynamic loads) and the airtightness, as well as the relevant resistance regarding
watertightness and water vapour.
− The verification of the designed system by means of calculation, taking into account the mechanical
characteristic values of the kit components in order to resist the actions (dead loads, wind loads, etc.)
applying on the specific works. National safety factors and other national provisions must be followed.
− The design of the façade panels and their fixing can be carried out according to the conditions given in
Annex B 2 to Annex B 4, the national regulations must be considered.
− The selection and verification of the brackets which support the subframe vertical profiles considering
compatible materials (e.g. aluminium alloy) and the mechanical resistance (vertical and horizontal
resistance) according to the envisaged actions obtained from the mechanical calculation of the designed
system. Bracket resistance should be verified according to assessment given in EAD 090062-00-0404.
− The selection and verification of the anchors between the brackets and the external walls (substrate), taking
into account the substrate material and the minimum resistance required (pull-out and shear resistance)
according to the envisaged actions obtained from the mechanical calculation of the designed system.
− The accommodation of the designed system movements to the substrate or structural movements.
− The execution of singular parts of the façade; some examples of construction details are indicated in
Annex A1.
− The corrosion protection of the designed system metallic components taking into account the category of
corrosivity of the atmosphere of works (e.g. acc. ISO 9223).
Electronic copy of the ETA by DIBt: ETA-18/0390

− The drainability of the ventilated air space between the cladding elements and the insulation layer or the
external wall accordingly.
− An insulation layer is usually fixed on the external wall and should be defined in accordance with a
harmonized standard or an European technical assessment and taking into account the section 3.1 of
this ETA.
− Because the joints are not watertight, the first layer behind ventilated air space (e.g. insulation layer) should
be composed by materials with low water absorption.
− For the classification of the reaction to fire for the façade panel in end use conditions the following
application parameters must be considered:
Panel colour S-008 N-White; panel thickness 12mm; bulk density approx.1750 kg/m³; rear-ventilated outside wall
claddings with air gap ≥ 20mm, mechanical fixed on bar shaped subframe of wood or metal, substrate with
class A1 or A2-s1-d0 acc. EN 13501-1 (d≥20mm, ρ=35kg/m³), open joints ≤ 12mm, closed joints must be covered
with metallic profiles

Installation of the kits in works

Installation should be carried out according to the ETA holder´s specifications and using the specific kit
components.
Installation should be carried out by appropriately qualified staff and under the supervision of the technical
responsible of the site.

• The drillings are done at the factory or on site under workshop conditions; when making the drillings on site
the execution is supervised by the responsible project supervisor or a skilled representative of the project
supervisor.
• Making of the undercut drilling is done with the drill bit according to Annex B 6 and a special drilling device in
accordance with the information deposited with Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik.
• The drillings are removed from the drill hole.
• In case of aborted hole: new drilling at a minimum distance away of twice the depth of the aborted hole.
• The geometry of the drill hole is checked on 1 % of all drillings. The following dimensions shall be checked
and documented according to manufacturer's information and testing instructions by means of a measuring
device according to Annex B 6:
• Volume of the undercut drill hole.
• Depth position of the undercut; the distance between the lower edge of the measuring device and the
façade panel is between 0,0 and 0,3 mm (see Annex B 6).
If the tolerances are exceeded, the geometry of the drill hole shall be checked on 25% of the drillings performed.
No further drill hole may exceed the tolerances otherwise all the drill holes shall be controlled. Drilling holes falling
below or exceeding the tolerances shall be rejected.
Note: Checking the geometry of the drill hole on 1 % of all drillings means that on one of the 25 panels (this
corresponds to 100 drillings in façade panels with four anchors) one drilling shall be checked. If the tolerances
given in Annex A 3, Table A3 are exceeded the extent of the control shall be increase to 25 % of the drillings, i.e.
one drilling each shall be checked on all the 25 panels.
• During transport and storage on site the façade panels are protected from damages; the façade panels are
not be hung up jerkily (if need be lifters shall be used for hanging up the façade panels); façade panels and
reveal panels respectively with incipient cracks are not be installed.
• The façade are installed by skilled specialists and the laying instructions of the manufacturer shall be paid
attention to.
 The façade panels are arranged in a "reclined" or "upright" position, they also may be fixed at façade soffits.
Electronic copy of the ETA by DIBt: ETA-18/0390

 The profiles or agraffes must be fixed as defined and set out in this document (see Annex A/B).

Use, maintenance and repair of the works

Maintenance of the assembled systems or kits components includes inspections on site, taking into account the
following aspects:
• regarding the Hanex façade panel: appearance of any damage such as cracking or detachment
• regarding the fasteners (fixing): presence of corrosion or deformation
Necessary repairs should be done rapidly, using the same kit components and following the repair instructions given
by ETA holder.

Design method
General
The design values of the actions shall be calculated on basis of EN 1990 in consideration of the existing loads.
The combinations of actions shall be equal to EN 1990. The actions shall be specified according to EN 1991-1-1
to EN 1991-1-7. Corresponding national regulations shall be taken into consideration. The unfavourable
combination is decisive. Where necessary for the design of the anchor and the façade panel several
combinations shall be analysed separately.
The typical fundamental combination for façade panels considers actions from dead load FEk.G (permanent action)
and wind FEk.w (leading variable action).
According to EN 1990 the following fundamental combination depending on the load direction results for a vertical
façade panel:
Fundamental combination for loads parallel to the panel: FEd  = FEk.G •⋅ γG
Fundamental combination for loads perpendicular to the panel: FEd ⊥ = FEk.w • γQ
with γG = 1,35; γQ = 1,50
For hanging panels (over head mounting) or reveals respectively the load direction shall be taken into
consideration and the combinations of actions shall be based on EN 1990.
The calculation shall be carried out in a linear elastic manner. The stiffness of the substructure shall be
considered for the respective case of application.
 Each façade panel is fixed with at least four anchors in a rectangular arrangement via single agraffes or
double agraffes on the substructure (for small panels or small fitted pieces, differential or fill- in pieces the
number and position of the anchors shall be chosen constructively).
 The substructure is constructed such that the façade panels are fixed technically strain-free via skids (loose
bearings) and one fixed point (fixed bearing) - the fixed point may be placed at the panel edge or in the panel
field.
 Two fixing points of the façade panel are designed such that they are able to carry the dead load of the façade
panel.
 When using agraffes on horizontal load-bearing profiles the fixing points of a façade panel situated horizontally
at the same height are fastened in each case to the same load-bearing profile.
 Joint construction between the façade panels is done by a joint filler or are kept open; it is ensured that
additional stresses (e.g. by temperature) do not lead to important additional loadings (see also classification of
the reaction to fire for the façade panel in Annex B1).
 Verifiable calculation notes and drawings shall be prepared taking account of the loads to be anchored, the
Electronic copy of the ETA by DIBt: ETA-18/0390

nature and strength of the base materials and the dimensions of the anchorage members as well as of the
relevant tolerances. The position of the anchor is indicated on the design drawings.
 The façade panels, their fixings as well as the substructure including its connection to wall brackets and their
connection to the construction works are designed for the respective case of application under the
responsibility of an engineer skilled in the field of façade construction.

Verification of the anchor loads

In addition to the actions from dead load and wind load the following actions shall be considered as permanent
loads in direction to the anchor axes:
 in case of flush fixing of the anchor and when using horizontal load-bearing profiles: due to torsion of the load-
bearing profile resulting from dead load of the façade panel the following load NEk.V shall be considered:
NV,Ek. = VEk  e/z
with VEk = shear load due to dead load of the façade panel; e and z [mm] (see Figure 2)

Figure 2: torsion of horizontal load-bearing profiles resulting from dead load of the façade panels

For the determined anchor forces it shall be verified that the following equation are met:
