Specific parts of the European Technical Assessment
1 Technical description of the product

PF-ALU-HPL kit for fastening skin elements1 (cladding elements and external wall elements) consists of:
• Skin element fixing device according to Type 4 given in EAD 090034-00-0404:
1. Aluminium alloy horizontal profiles GR-HPL.
2. Stainless steel drilling screws between the horizontal profiles and the subframe profiles.
3. Ancillary components:
- GR-HPL-PV, GR-HPL-PH and GR-HPL-V ancillary fixing device.
- Plastic rail protector.
- Ancillary profiles between horizontal profiles.
A complete fixing device to support one skin element is composed of:
- Two horizontal profiles GR-HPL.
- Four HPL-100 plastic rail protectors.
- For skins elements with one side located on the façade edges, or any other special situation,
GR-HPL-PV, GR-HPL-PH or GR-HPL-V ancillary fixing devices.
The GR-HPL fixing devices are aluminium alloy horizontal profiles for skin elements with groove.
• Subframe:
4. Aluminium alloy vertical profiles PF-AL-U, PF-AL-Tu, PF-AL-T, PF-AL-L and PF-AL-J.
5. Brackets:
- Aluminium alloy brackets ES-ALU-A, ES-ALU-V, ES-ALU-E and ES-ALU-L.
- Stainless steel brackets ES-INOX-E and ES-INOX-A.
6. Stainless steel drilling screws between the subframe profiles and brackets.
The configuration of the assembled system is shown in Annex 1.
The PF-ALU-HPL kit is made of mechanical components. Adhesives are not needed for assembly.
The PF-ALU-HPL kit is a non-load bearing construction element. It does not contribute to the stability of
the structure on which it is installed.
The following ventilated façade elements or components are not considered in this ETA:
• The skin elements2.
• The fixings between the subframe and the supporting structure3.
• The other layers of the façade, like insulation and internal layers.
The geometry characteristics and the material properties of each component are given in annexes
indicated in the following table:
1 From now on this term refers to both cladding elements and external wall elements.
2 If the skin elements are cladding elements, other EADs may apply (e.g. EAD 090062, EAD 090020, etc.).
3
The term “supporting structure” refers to both of followings descriptions:
- The wall, which in itself already meets the airtightness and mechanical strength requirements (resistance to static and dynamic
loads). The substrate walls are made of masonry (clay, concrete or stone), concrete (cast on site or as prefabricated panels),
timber or metal frame.
- The supporting structure of the building, which in itself does not meet the airtightness requirement but meets the mechanical
strength requirements (resistance to static and dynamic loads). Usually, the supporting structures of the building are made of
concrete (cast on site or prefabricated), timber or metal frame.
In this case, the airtightness requirements are met by the internal leaves of the façade.

2 Specification of the intended use(s) in accordance with the applicable

European Assessment Document (hereinafter EAD)
PF-ALU-HPL kit is intended to be used as mechanical fastening of skin elements (claddings or external
wall elements) in façades with air space, ventilated or not, and intended to be used on supporting
structures3 which meet the mechanical strength requirements.
The PF-ALU-HPL kit is intended to be used for the fixing of skin elements (e.g. natural stone according
to EN 1469) with groove or dowel hole when ancillary fixing devices GR-HPL-PV or GR-HPL-PH is used
(see section A6.1 of Annex 6 for more information on the skin element specifications).
The skin elements are not part of the kit object of this ETA. The safety in use of the skin elements has to
be assessed separately.
The provisions made in this European Technical Assessment are based on an assumed working life of at
least 25 years for PF-ALU-HPL kit. The indications given on the working life cannot be interpreted as a
guarantee given by the producer, but are to be regarded only as a means for choosing the right products
in relation to the expected economically reasonable working life of the works.
PF-ALU-HPL kit is made of non-load bearing construction components. They do not contribute directly to
the stability of the wall on which they are installed.
PF-ALU-HPL kit is not intended to ensure the airtightness of the building envelope.
Detailed information and data regarding design, installation, maintenance and repair criteria are given in
Annex 6.
3 Performance of the product and reference to the methods used for its
assessment
The assessment of PF-ALU-HPL kit for the intended use was performed following the
EAD 090034-00-0404 Kit composed by subframe and fixings for fastening cladding and external wall
elements.

Complementary information:
Requirements with respect to the mechanical resistance and stability of non-load bearing parts of the works are not included in
the Basic Works Requirement Mechanical resistance and stability (BWR 1) but are treated under the Basic Works Requirement
Safety and accessibility in use (BWR 4).
The fire resistance requirement is applicable to the wall (made of masonry, concrete, timber or metal frame) and not to the
PF-ALU-HPL kit itself.
3.1 Reaction to fire

Reaction to fire of PF-ALU-HPL kit according to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/364 and
EN 13501-1 is Class A1 without need of testing according to Decision 96/603/EC as amended.
The plastic rail protectors can be considered small components, so they can be ignored and do not need
to be tested for their reaction to fire performance.
Note: A European reference fire scenario has not been laid down for façades. In some Member States,
the classification of external wall claddings according to EN 13501-1 might not be sufficient for the use in
façades. An additional assessment of external wall claddings according to national provisions (e.g. on the
basis of a large-scale test) might be necessary to comply with Member State regulations, until the existing
European classification system has been completed.
3.2 Wind load resistance
PF-ALU-HPL kit wind load resistance has been determined according to section 2.2.2 of
EAD 090034-00-0404 considering the wind suction and pressure resistance tests and the mechanical
resistance of the components (see sections 3.3 to 3.10). Test results and calculated values for the tested
specimen are given in table 3.2.
For other assembled systems, wind load resistance obtained by calculation on the basis of the mechanical
resistance of the kit components should not be higher than the maximum load obtained in the tests.

3.10 Mechanical characteristic of subframe fixings

Shear load strength of subframe fixings has been tested (see table 3.6).
Tensile strength of subframe fixing at least meets the values given in table 3.6 for pull-out resistance.
3.11 Corrosion
GR-HPL fixing devices, vertical profiles and ES-ALU brackets are made of aluminium alloy AW 6005A
EP/O T6 or EN AW-6005A EP/H T6 according to EN 573, EN 1999 and EN 755. The durability is class B
and the minimum thickness is 2,0 mm. Therefore, these components may be used in the following external
atmospheric exposure: rural environment, moderate industrial/urban environment, but excluding industrial
marine environment. These components may be used in other external atmospheric conditions exposure
if the components are protected as indicated in EN 1999-1-1.
Subframe drilling screws are made of stainless steel, quality A2 or A4 according to EN ISO 3506. ES-
INOX brackets and the ancillary fixing devices GR-HPL-PV, GR-HPL-PH & GR-HPL-V are made of
stainless steel 1.4307, 1.4301 and 1.4305 according to EN 10088. Therefore these components may be
used in dry internal conditions or exposure in permanent damp internal conditions and also in external
atmospheric exposure with high category of corrosivity of the atmosphere (including industrial and marine
environment, C4 as defined in ISO 9223), if no particular aggressive conditions exist. Such particular
aggressive conditions are e.g. permanent or alternating immersion in seawater or the splash zone of
seawater, chloride atmosphere of indoor swimming pools or atmosphere with extreme chemical pollution
(e.g. in desulphurization plants or road tunnels where de-icing materials are used).
In addition, special attention should be considered in order to prevent the possible galvanic corrosion.

A5.2. Other components

Other products that do not pertain to the kit but they are needed for the execution of the PF-ALU-HPL kit
in the works are the fixings between the brackets and the substrate. The main specifications to be met by
these products to be used with the kit are:
• Fixings must be chosen according to the substrate or supporting structure material (concrete, masonry,
timber or metal frame, etc.) and the resistance required due to wind load and dead load (pull-out and
shear strength respectively).
• Minimum fixing diameter 8 mm. Minimum washer diameter 16 mm.
• Required minimum pull-out strength on substrate material: 4,0 kN.
• Required minimum shear strength: 4,0 kN.
• Fixings between the brackets and the substrate may be CE marked according to an ETA on the basis
of the relevant EAD (see www.eota.eu) as long as this CE marking is mandatory in the Member State
where the kit is used.
ANNEX 6: Design, installation, maintenance and repair criteria
A6.1 Design
The design of the subframe and fixings for fastener external skin elements using PF-ALU-HPL kit should
consider:
• For fastening cladding elements (the subframe is fixed on structural floors and also on a subframe
wall), all the kit components defined in Annexes 2 to 5 may be used. However, for the fastening of
wall elements, if the subframe is fixed only between structural floors, the vertical profiles and bracket
types less than 80 should be avoided (e.g. profiles PF-AL-U-40, PF-AL-U-60, PF-AL-T-60, PF-AL-T,
PF-AL-L & PF-AL-J and brackets ES-ALU-45, ES-ALU-67 & ES-ALU-L).
• The vertical profiles must not be used with the brackets of lower dimensions (e.g. profile PF-AL-U-80
can be used with brackets ES-ALU-87 to ES-ALU-325 and ES-INOX-238 to ES-INOX-325 but cannot
be used with bracket ES-ALU-67).
• The PF-ALU-HPL kit can be used for skin elements with groove and thickness between 20 to 50 mm.
The maximum weight and area shall be determined according to the mechanical properties of the kit
components declared in this ETA (see sections 3.4 to 3.11). The maximum density that can be
considered is 3000 kg/m3. The groove (t = 2,0 mm for GR-HPL40 and t = 5,3 mm for GR-HPL60 and
GR-HPL120) shall be situated in the middle axis of the skin element thickness. When ancillary fixing
devices GR-HPL-PV or GR-HPL-PH are used, dowel holes 7,5 mm diameter are to be included in the
middle axis of the skin elements thickness.
• It is assumed that the substrate wall meets the necessary requirements regarding the mechanical
strength (resistance to static and dynamic loads) and airtightness, as well as the relevant resistance
regarding watertightness and water vapour.
• It is assumed that the skin element meets the necessary requirements regarding the mechanical
resistance and hygrothermal behaviour.
• 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 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.
• 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).
• The drainability of the ventilated air space between the skin 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 a European technical assessment.
• When the skin element joints are not watertight, the first layer behind ventilated air space (e.g.
insulation layer) should be composed by materials with low water absorption.
A6.2 Installation
Installation of the subframe and fixings for fastener external skin elements using PF-ALU-HPL kit should
be carried out:
• According to the specifications of the manufacturer and using the components specified in this ETA.
• In accordance with the design and drawings prepared for the specific works. The manufacturer should
ensure that the information on these provisions is given to those concerned.
• By appropriately qualified staff and under the supervision of the technical responsible of the specific
works.
A6.3 Maintenance and repair

Maintenance of the subframe and fixings for fastener external skin elements using PF-ALU-HPL kit
includes inspections on site, taking into account the following aspects:
• the appearance of any permanent irreversible deformation.
• the presence of corrosion or presence of water accumulation.
When necessary, any repair to localized damaged areas must be carried out with the same components
and following the repair instructions given by the manufacturer.
