5.1 Packaging, transport and storage
Packaging of the components has to be such that the products are protected from moisture
during transport and storage, unless other measures are foreseen by the manufacturer for this
purpose.
The components have to be protected against damage.
It is the responsibility of the manufacturer(s) to ensure that these provisions are easily
accessible to the concerned people.
5.2 Use, maintenance and repair
The finishing coat shall normally be maintained in order to fully preserve the ETICS’s
performances.
Maintenance includes at least:
the repairing of localised damaged areas due to accidents
the aspect maintenance with products adapted and compatible with the ETICS (possibly
after washing or ad hoc preparation)
Necessary repairs should be done rapidly.
It is important to be able to carry out maintenance as far as possible using readily available

It is the responsibility of the manufacturer(s) to ensure that these provisions are easily
accessible to the concerned people.
