- 2 years of natural aging (double than that provided by EN 927-3)
- artificial aging using certified equipment (EN 927-6)
- Water permeability. (EN 927-5)
- Non-volatile substances within the limits defined: the solid content must conform to the technical and safety sheets (UNI EN ISO 3251)
- Actual presence in the coatings of the substances declared using Gas chromatographic analysis (PTP CATAS)
- Effectiveness of biocidal products evaluated by inhibition test on agar. The test consists in exposing the coating to fungi cultures for an endurance test (PTP CATAS)
- Resistance to liquids at low temperature (UNI EN 12720)
- Test of wet adhesion (EN 927-8)
- Suitability for stacking through pressure test (PTP 140)
