2 Manufacture
2.1 During manufacture the inner core is extruded and, in a continuous process, an adhesive is applied to the core
which is then faced with the top and bottom pre-coated aluminium sheets. The bond is formed by temperature and
pressure under controlled conditions. The products are subsequently cut to a range of panel sizes.

2.2 A self-adhesive protective film is applied to the top surface during manufacture.

2.3 As part of the assessment and ongoing surveillance of product quality, the BBA has:

 agreed with the manufacturer the quality control procedures and product testing to be undertaken
 assessed and agreed the quality control operated over batches of incoming materials
 monitored the production process and verified that it is in accordance with the documented process
 evaluated the process for management of nonconformities
 checked that equipment has been properly tested and calibrated
 undertaken to carry out the above measures on a regular basis through a surveillance process, to verify that the
specifications and quality control operated by the manufacturer are being maintained.

2.4 The management systems of Elval Colour S.A. have been assessed and registered as meeting the requirements of
BS EN ISO 9001 : 2015 by Bureau Veritas (Certificate GR15.2101Q version No 2).

3 Delivery and site handling
3.1 The products are normally delivered to site on trailers and unloaded by crane. The site must have adequate access
and a suitable surface for this traffic.

3.2 During transport, the edges and corners of the panels must be protected against damage and the panels restrained
to prevent abrasion.

3.3 On site, the products should be stored on a firm, dry base, on dry timber bearers at a maximum spacing of 900 mm,
away from the possibility of damage and covered to prevent ingress of water. They should be stored as close as
possible to the building on which they are to be installed and handled in accordance with the Manual Handling
Operations Regulations 1992.

3.4 When required for installation, the products should be lifted from the stack rather than dragged across it.

Assessment and Technical Investigations


The following is a summary of the assessment and technical investigations carried out on Etalbond PE and FR PVDF
Coated Composite Aluminium Cladding Panels.

Design Considerations

4 Use
4.1 Etalbond PE and FR PVDF Coated Composite Aluminium Cladding Panels are suitable for conversion into factory-
produced cladding cassettes, or may be used as flat panels for non-loadbearing external cladding or internal lining fixed
to a substructure. When used on external walls in new or existing buildings, the products are restricted to buildings up
to 18 metres in height.

4.2 The design and installation of cladding cassettes manufactured from the products is specific to each individual
situation and is outside the scope of this Certificate.

4.3 The substrate wall and the sub-frame to which the panels are fixed must be structurally sound and constructed in
accordance with the requirements of the relevant national Building Regulations and Standards.

4.4 All design aspects of the installation should be checked by a suitably qualified and experienced individual, such as
a structural engineer. Specific construction details, eg flue penetrations, can be obtained from the Certificate holder.

4.5 When used as open-jointed cladding, any insulation (not covered by this Certificate) installed behind the panels
must be suitably fixed to the supporting wall and protected to resist the forces of wind suction. Insulation should be of
a rigid type (eg boards or batts) and, where its performance could be diminished by moisture, a breather membrane
should be provided over its outer face. The ventilation pathway behind the cladding must not be allowed to become
blocked, nor the insulation dislodged where it may be vulnerable to wetting.

4.6 To allow for longitudinal expansion, a suitable gap between adjacent support rails must be provided. The cladding
panels must not be installed across this gap.

5 Practicability of installation
The products must only be installed by competent cladding contractors experienced with these types of products.

6 Strength and stability


6.1 The panels are capable of transmitting their self-weight and wind load to the structure, but the
adequacy of fixing of the sub-frame to the structural frame or substrate is outside the scope of this
Certificate and must be verified by a suitably qualified and experienced individual.

Page 5 of 11
6.2 The design of the substructure, the geometry of cassettes, and the type and frequency of the fixings used should
take into account the likely loading on the system, including wind loading, and the allowable deflection of the panels
between fixings, and should be undertaken by a suitably qualified and experienced individual. Individual cassette and
substructure designs are outside the scope of this Certificate.

6.3 Wind loads should be calculated in accordance with BS EN 1991-1-4 : 2005 and its UK National Annex. Higher
pressure coefficients applicable to corners of the building should be used as recommended in this Standard.

6.4 The supporting substrate wall must be able to take the full wind loads, as well as any racking loads, on its own.
No contribution from the cladding panels and the sub-frame may be assumed in this regard.

7 Workability
7.1 The products can be worked by conventional techniques including cutting, routing, bending, drilling and punching.
It is essential that the correct tools, in good condition, are used to prevent any damage to the coating, and that any
swarf is removed.

7.2 Large radii bends down to a minimum of 60 mm can be achieved using rollers. Tighter bends may be achieved by
first routing out the core material along the line of the bend, in accordance with the Certificate holder’s instructions.

8 Resistance to mechanical damage


In normal circumstances, the products have adequate resistance to abrasion and scratching. Hard body impacts may
result in indentation damage to the outer skin of the products, but paint adhesion will be maintained.

9 Behaviour in relation to fire


9.1 A silver-grey coloured sample of 4 mm thick Etalbond PE was tested to DIN EN ISO 11925-2 and
classified as E in accordance with DIN EN 13501-1 : 2010 [classification report KB-Hoch-141286(1)].
Silver-grey samples of the same product in thicknesses of 3 and 6 mm were tested with closed joints(2)
in an assembly in accordance with NF EN 13823 : 2013, and classified as B-s1, d0 in accordance with
NF EN 13501-1 : 2013 [classification report Safran 18059-13/1(1)].

9.2 Argent metallic samples of 4 and 6 mm thick Etalbond FR were tested to BS EN ISO 11925-2 : 2010 and
BS EN 13823 : 2010 with 20 mm open joints(3) in assemblies in accordance with BS EN 13823 : 2010 and classified*
as B-s1,d0 in accordance with BS EN 13501-1 : 2007 [classification reports WF 391665 and WF 391666(1)].

(1) Copies are available from the Certificate holder.


(2) Closed joints are created when the panels are formed with a recessed edge flange which allows them to be installed without an air gap
between them and minimises the exposure of core material to the external environment.
(3) Open joints are created when the product is installed as flat panels with an air gap between them, resulting in the core material being
exposed to the external environment.

9.3 The performances stated in sections 9.1 and 9.2 may not be achieved by other colours in the range. The
performance of other colours should be confirmed, as required by the relevant national Building Regulation.

9.4 The reverse side specification was tested to BS 476-6 : 1989 and BS 476-7 : 1997, and achieved a Class O or ‘low
risk’ classification as defined in the national Building Regulations.

Etalbond PE

9.5 The product, installed with open joints, is only suitable for use more than one metre from the
boundary on buildings less than 18 metres in height.

9.6 For houses in Scotland, and for all buildings in England and Wales and Northern Ireland, the product, installed
with closed joints, is suitable for use on, or at any distance from, the boundary.

Page 6 of 11
9.7 For flats and maisonettes, and non-domestic buildings in Scotland, the product, installed with
closed joints, is suitable only for use more than one metre from the boundary.

Etalbond FR

9.8 For houses in Scotland, and for all buildings in England and Wales and Northern Ireland, the
product is suitable for use on, or at any distance from, the boundary.

9.9 For flats and maisonettes, and non-domestic buildings in Scotland, the product is suitable only for
use more than one metre from the boundary.

Etalbond PE and FR

9.10 Etalbond PE and Etalbond FR are not classified as being ‘non–combustible’ or of ‘limited
combustibility’ (‘non-combustible’ in Scotland) and so their use is restricted to 18 metres in height (1)
unless a full scale fire test to either BS 8414-1 : 2015 or BS 8414-2 : 2015 has been conducted for the
specific wall construction under consideration, and the other requirements of BRE Report BR 135 : 2013
have been satisfied.

9.11 The products are not classified as ‘non-combustible’; therefore, calculations for unprotected areas may apply,
dependent on the fire resistance characteristics of the wall.

9.12 For resistance to fire, the performance of a wall incorporating the products can only be determined by tests
from a suitably accredited laboratory, and is not covered by this Certificate.

9.13 To limit the risk of fire spread between floors in buildings subject to the national Building Regulations, fire
barriers must be incorporated in the cavity behind the panels as required under these Regulations, but should not
block essential ventilation pathways. Guidance on fire barriers can be found in BRE Report BR 135 : 2013.

(1) Also completely restricted in Scotland for domestic high-rise buildings.

10 Compatibility
To prevent electro-chemical corrosion, direct contact with copper, water run-off from copper installations, or direct
contact with lead in coastal environments, should be avoided. Fixing devices must be of, or compatible with,
aluminium. Precautions must also be taken (eg by using a strip sealant) to prevent direct contact with timber preserved
with copper or fluoride compounds or treated with a fire retardant.

11 Weathertightness

11.1 The products, when incorporated into cladding systems designed and installed in accordance with
conventional good practice and section 15, will adequately resist the passage of moisture.

11.2 The substrate wall to which the products are fixed must be watertight and reasonably airtight, satisfying the
requirements of the relevant national Building Regulations.

11.3 Joints between panels should be adequately baffled to minimise the amount of water entering the cavity by
wind-driven rain. The cavity should be designed to ensure that any water collecting there due to rain or
condensation will be removed by drainage and ventilation.

11.4 The air space between the back of the panels and the supporting wall or insulation should be as wide as
possible, and should allow for normal building tolerances.

Page 7 of 11
12 Maintenance
12.1 Regular maintenance inspections should be carried out to ensure that gutters and downpipes are
present and in good order, and that flashings and fixings are secure.

12.2 Maintenance painting should be considered at the intervals defined in section 13.3, or earlier if a high
aesthetic standard is required. The Certificate holder can recommend a suitable paint and maintenance system.

12.3 In some areas (eg industrial areas and where cladding is sheltered directly beneath a soffit), it may be
necessary to clean the installation periodically, both to restore its appearance and to remove potentially corrosive
deposits. This can be done by hosing with water, using a neutral detergent.

13 Durability
13.1 The products will perform effectively as external cladding panels or internal linings with an ultimate
life of at least 30 years.

13.2 The aluminium substrate is durable and will perform satisfactorily in all normal atmospheric conditions,
including marine and industrial, but excluding the immediate vicinity of, and downwind from, sources of abnormal
corrosive contaminants such as chemical works, cement works and copper foundries.

13.3 The performance of the coating will depend upon its environment, location and aspect face. It will retain a
good appearance for at least 20 years in non-corrosive environments and at least 15 years in severe industrial
environments.

14 Reuse and recyclability


The products contain aluminium, which can be recycled.
