Facade's thermo insulation composite systems with external mortar's lays. Test methods
Full title and description
GOST R 55412-2013 — Facade’s thermo-insulation composite systems with external plaster (mortar) layers. Test methods. (Russian title: ГОСТ Р 55412-2013 — Системы фасадные теплоизоляционные композиционные с наружными штукатурными слоями. Методы испытаний.) This national Russian standard specifies laboratory and field test methods applicable to fully formed facade thermal insulation composite systems (SFTK) and their individual layers.
Abstract
This standard defines procedures to determine mechanical and hygrothermal performance characteristics of facade thermo-insulating composite systems with external plaster layers, including impact resistance of the complete system and base reinforced plaster layer, capillary water absorption, interlayer adhesion (bond strength), frost resistance of the contact zone, and vapour-permeability related parameters. It was issued as GOST R 55412-2013 and later replaced by an updated edition.

Scope
The standard applies to facade thermal-insulation composite systems with external plaster layers and establishes test methods for fully assembled systems and their constituent layers. Testable properties include impact resistance (system and base reinforced plaster), capillary water absorption, interlayer adhesion (bond strength), frost resistance of the contact zone, vapour-resistance/ vapour-permeability, and related hygrothermal characteristics necessary for performance assessment and conformity actions.
Key topics and requirements
- Definition of specimen preparation for testing fully formed facade systems and individual layers.
- Methods for determining impact resistance of the complete SFTK and of the base reinforced plaster layer.
- Procedure for measuring capillary water absorption (capillary uptake) of the system.
- Adhesion (bond strength) test methods for interlayer bond between insulation, adhesive/ reinforcing layer and finishing plaster.
- Assessment of frost resistance of the contact zone between layers.
- Determination of vapour diffusion resistance and calculation of vapour permeability coefficients for system layers.
- Reference normative links to related GOSTs and EN-based test methods used for specific measurements.
Typical use and users
Used by facade-system manufacturers, independent testing laboratories, certification and conformity-assessment bodies, design engineers, architects, and construction quality control teams to verify performance characteristics of external insulation and plastered facade systems, to support product declarations and certification, and to inform design/specification decisions for building envelopes in Russia and where Russian national standards are applied.
Related standards
GOST R 55412-2013 is linked to and has normative references to a range of construction and test standards (examples include GOST R 53786 on facade SFTK definitions/general requirements, various GOST/EN test method standards cited in the normative references). The 2013 edition was formally replaced by GOST R 55412-2018 (test methods, updated content and editorial changes).
