Design of fasteners for facade panels made of natural stone and ceramic tiles - TR 062

Oct 28, 2026

Technical Report TR 062 provides design methods for façade-panel fasteners based on a European Technical Assessment (ETA) and EAD 330030-00-0601. It covers fasteners for natural stone façade panels (except slate) per EN 1469 and ceramic tiles (stoneware) per EN 14411, focusing on local load transmission from façade panels into the fastener. The document defines design and safety concepts, ultimate limit state verification, static analysis for load determination, characteristic value determination, and resistance verification for breakout/pull-out and steel failure under tension, shear, and combined actions.

FAQs

What is the scope of TR 062 regarding fastener design?

TR 062 provides design methods for façade fasteners that are supported by a European Technical Assessment (ETA) based on EAD 330030-00-0601. It specifies how to use characteristic resistances and distances from the ETA to design fasteners for natural stone façade panels (except slate) and ceramic tiles (stoneware).

Which standards and material types are covered for façade panels?

The report applies to natural stone façade panels according to EN 1469 (excluding slate) and ceramic tiles according to EN 14411. It also notes that natural stone in practice may differ from the tested material in the ETA.

How does TR 062 treat verification of fastener resistance at the ultimate limit state?

It presents verification methods for breakout or pull-out resistance and for steel failure resistance. These are addressed under tension loads, shear loads, and combined tension and shear, as part of the ultimate limit state design approach.
