On March 5, 2019, Specialized Group No. 2.2 "Products and processes for added cladding, cladding
and cladding" of the Commission responsible for formulating Technical Assessments examined the
ALPOLIC -SYSTEME CASSETTES added cladding process, presented by the Mitsubishi Polyester
Companies Film GmbH and Acodi SA. It has formulated the following Technical Advice on this
process, which cancels and replaces Technical Advice 2.2/17-1786_V1. This Notice has been
formulated for use in mainland France.

1. Brief definition
1.1 Brief description
The ALPOLIC-CASSETTE SYSTEM system is an added cladding covering based on
ALPOLIC composite panels shaped into cassettes which are hooked onto a vertical
frame made of aluminum profiles. These elements are secured to the work by
adjustable support brackets on concrete or masonry support, or fixed directly on
COB or CLT support according to the prescriptions of §10 of the Technical File.
ALPOLIC panels are of 2 types:
-ALPOLIC/fr with a core in flame retardant material and gray colored polyethylene.
-ALPOLIC/A2 with a mineral core and a white thermoplastic binder.
-The ALPOLIC CASSETTES add-on cladding process can be implemented in seismic
zones and buildings defined in § 2 of the Technical File.
2.2 Assessment of the process
2.21 Satisfaction with the laws and regulations in force and other
qualities of suitability for employment
Stability
The added cladding does not participate in the functions of transmission of loads,
bracing and resistance to safety shocks. They are incumbent on the work that
supports it.
The stability of the cladding added to this structure is suitably ensured in the
proposed field of use.

Safety in case of fire

Additional insulation is most often placed between the structure and the covering,
this insulation being ventilated by the air gap circulating between the insulation The checks to be carried out (in particular with regard to the so-called "C + D" rule,
and the rear face of the cassettes. including for buildings in service) must take into account the following

Environmental data
The ALPOLIC CASSETTES process has no Environmental Declaration (ED) and
therefore cannot claim any particular environmental performance. It is recalled
that the DEs do not fall within the field of examination of suitability for use of the
process.
Health aspects
This opinion is formulated with regard to the holder's written commitment to
comply with the regulations, and in particular all the regulatory obligations relating
to hazardous substances, for their manufacture, their integration into works in the
accepted field of use and the exploitation of these. The verification of information
and declarations issued pursuant to the regulations in force does not fall within the
scope of this notice. The holder of this notice retains full responsibility for this
information and statements.
shock performance
The performance against external shocks of the ALPOLIC CASSETTES process
corresponds, according to the P08-302 standard and theCSTB notebooks3546-V2
and 3534, to exposure class Q1 in easily replaceable wall. Indeed, the cassettes are
sensitive to shocks from small hard bodies (0.5 kg/3J and 1kg/10J), without
however the coating being altered. The trace of shocks normally sustained in
stages is considered acceptable.
2.22 Durability - Maintenance
The inherent durability of the components of the system and their compatibility
make it possible to estimate that this added cladding will have satisfactory
durability equivalent to that of traditional cladding.
The durability of the structural work is improved by the implementation of this
added cladding, in particular in the event of associated thermal insulation.
2.23 Manufacture and control
This opinion is formulated taking into account the controls and manufacturing
verification methods described in the Technical File Established by the Applicant
(DTED).
The manufacture of ALPOLIC panels is subject to systematic self-checks regularly
supervised by the CSTB, making it possible to ensure suitable consistency in
quality.
The manufacturer availing himself of this Technical Assessment must be able
to produce a certificate issued by the CSTB, attesting that the product complies
with the characteristics described in the certification reference system after
evaluation according to the control methods defined in this reference system.
Products with a valid certificate are identifiable by the
presence on the elements of the logo, followed by the number identifying the
factory and a number identifying the product.
ALPOLIC panels are shaped into cassettes by Acodi
SA which is certified for this operation by the CSTB. A certificate is issued to Acodi
SA for the product to be shaped, which receives additional marking from the
processor.
2.24 Supply
The components supplied by Mitsubishi Polyester Film GmbH mainly include
composite panels. These are then transformed by Acodi SA only.
The elements supplied by Acodi SA include composite cassettes, frames, clips,
studs and sliders.
The other elements (uprights, fixing brackets, insulation, dowels, etc.) are supplied
directly by the installer in accordance with the description given in the Technical
File.
2.25 Implementation
This add-on cladding is installed without any particular difficulty provided that the
support is checked beforehand, the layout of the additional elements and sections
is laid out and the installation conditions are respected.
The company Acodi SA provides, at the request of the installation company, its
technical assistance.
2.2/17-1786_V2
2.3 Technical Requirements
2.31 Design requirements
Fixings on concrete and masonry
Fasteners to the load-bearing structure must be chosen taking into account the
conditions of exposure to the wind and their design resistance value to tearing in
the support considered.
In the case of concrete supports solid with ordinary aggregates or masonry, the
resistance at the ultimate limit state of the anchors will be calculated according to
the ETA or ETA according to ETAG 001, 020 or 029.
In the case of supports whose characteristics are unknown, the resistance to the
ultimate limit state of the anchors will be checked by a preliminary survey, in
accordance with the document "Determination on site of the resistance to the
ultimate limit state of a mechanical fixing of added cladding" (CSTB notebook1661-
V2).
metal frame
The frame will be of a freely expandable design, in accordance with the
requirements of the document "General rules for the design and implementation
of the metal frame and the thermal insulation of the added cladding covered by a
Technical Assessment" (CSTB notebook3194 and its amendment 3586-V2),

- Omega frame reference ACO40, 90mm wide, in 6060 aluminum alloy, T5
condition, maximum length of 6 m.
- Gold U profile, dimension 60x40x60, thickness 3 mm, in aluminum alloy 6060,
maximum length 6 m.
- The coplanarity of the uprights must be checked between adjacent uprights
with a maximum allowable difference of 2 mm.
- The admissible resistance of stirrups or brackets (back to back) to the vertical
loads to be taken into account must be that corresponding to a deformation
under load equal to 3 mm.
- The centre-to-centre distance between the uprights is a maximum of 1800 mm.
The framework must be the subject, for each site, of a calculation note drawn up
by the installation company assisted, if necessary, by Acodi SA.
2.32 Terms of implementation
A preliminary layout must be planned.
The bridging of junctions between successive uprights not rigidly spliced, by
ALPOLIC cassettes is excluded.
Installation on Timber Frame Constructions (COB)
The requirements of NF DTU 31.2, § 10 of the Technical File and figures 24 to 26
must be complied with.
The aluminum frame (see § 3.4 of the Technical File) will be cut at all levels.
The bridging of the junctions between successive uprights by the cassettes is
excluded.
The horizontal framework cleats are fixed to the uprights of the COB according to §
10 of the Technical File.

- 0 /+0.5mm;
- Shaped cassettes: + 1 mm on overall dimensions (overall length).
6. Identification
ALPOLIC/fr and ALPOLIC/A2 cassettes benefiting from a certificate are identifiable
by a marking that complies with the “Special Requirements”
certification of added cladding, cladding and cladding, and under-roof cladding”
and including in particular:
9. Implementation of cassettes
9.1 General installation principles
A preliminary layout must be planned. There is no particular laying direction.
The cassettes are posed from bottom to top in order to ensure an overlap between
cassettes.
9.2 Inserting the cassettes(see fig. 1 and 1bis)
The cassettes are hooked onto the carrying sections equipped with sliders or studs
previously positioned either in the workshop or as they progress. The cassettes
must not cover a sliding junction of two supporting profiles. The ALPOLIC cassettes
will be placed on the carrier sections by simple fitting of the notches on the axes of
the sliders.

About the product

To facilitate the on-site installation of the cassettes, the sliders will be pre-
positioned in the carriers in the workshop using the needle screw. Thus, the upper

9.3 Compartment of the air gap
A compartmentalization of the air gap must be provided at the corner of the
adjacent facades; this partitioning made of durable material (galvanized sheet steel
at least Z 275 or aluminium) must be clean, over the entire height of the cladding,
to oppose a lateral draft.
9.4 Treatment of joints
The Alpolic cassette system allows vertical and horizontal joints of at least 10 mm
to be made. The 15 mm overlap at the horizontal joints will always be applied
except for installation with clips where it will be 30 mm (see fig. 22).
9.5 Air gap ventilation
The minimum thickness of the air space depends on the height of the building and
must correspond to the prescriptions of theCSTB notebook3194 and its modify
3586-V2.
9.6 Installation with underside cladding
(see fig. 27 and 28)
Installation on the underside is permitted for the ALPOLIC SYSTEM CASSETTES
system on new horizontal concrete walls or walls already in use that are
inaccessible (more than 3 m from the ground), without a nearby playground,
respecting the following recommendations:
- The center distance between frame uprights is limited to 400mm.
- The brackets are doubled;
- Implementation of a water discharge profile or constitution of a drop of water
offset at the foot of the cladding;
- The load-bearing framework of the underside must be independent of the
facade works.
For the installation of the cassettes on the underside, the use of aluminum profiles
with sliders is necessary. The sliders are positioned according to the distance
between the notches of the cassette, on the aluminum profile. On this cassette, the
notches have a T-shape, allow by positioning the 2 sliders correctly, to block the
cassette. Tables 2 and 3 are also valid for installation on the underside, subtracting
the dead weight of the panel from the wind load.
9.7 Singular Points
Figures 8 to 23 constitute a catalog of example solutions for the processing of
singular points.
10. Installation on COB and CLT(see fig. 24 to 26)
10.1 General principles of implementation
The support wall complies with NF DTU 31.2. Possibility
of installation limited to:
- height 10 m maximum (+ gable tip) in wind zones 1, 2 and 3 in situation a, b, c,
- height 6 m maximum (+ gable tip) in wind zone 4 and/or in situation d,
The ALPOLIC cassettes are fixed on an added framework made up of horizontal
cleats installed in line with the uprights of the COB.
The horizontal cleats are fixed to the uprights of the COB by TH13/A2 stainless
steel Ø 8 mm P screws.K685 N when pulled out according to standard NF P30-310.
These horizontal cleats have a seen width of 50 mm and a thickness of 50 mm.
The metal uprights (see § 3.4) are fixed to the horizontal cleats by screws
DRILLNOX Bois TH8 A4 Ø 6.3 x L 38 de Pk221 daN when pulled out according to
ETANCO standard NF P30-314.
Other bindings of equal or greater dimensions and characteristics may be suitable.
The metal uprights are split at each floor and will be of a flanged design.
The bridging of junctions between successive uprights by ALPOLIC cassettes is
excluded.
A rain barrier conforming to NF DTU 31.2 will be placed on the exterior face of the
COB wall, under the vertical cleats.
In situations a, b and c, the bracing panels of the COB can be positioned on the
inside or on the outside of the wall.
In situation d, if the bracing panels of the COB have been positioned on the inside
of the wall, wood-based panels must be positioned on the outside of the wall.
Situations a, b, c and d are defined in DTU 20.1-P3
Under no circumstances should the rain barrier be placed against the Alpolic
cassettes (minimum 20 mm air gap).
Figures 2 through 26 illustrate the minimum implementation provisions on COB.

constituting the complete wall as well as their order of implementation are given
below:
Internal thermal insulation
-Plasterboard lining according to NF DTU 25.41;
- Technical vacuum;
- Vapor barrier with Sd ≥ 90 m (unless different requirements in the Technical
Assessment of the CLT process, issued by GS3);
- interior insulation;
- CLT wall;
- Rain barrier;
- Framework fixed directly to the CLT wall (without brackets) by TH13/A2 stainless

stainless steel Ø 8 mm deep lag boltsK685 N when pulled out according to
standard NF P30-310;
- Ventilated air space on the outside;
- cladding;
- Regarding temporary protection:
- either it is removed before the installation of the external thermal insulation,
- or it is kept, in this case:
□ either it is a rain barrier with an Sd ≤ 0.18 m,
□ or it is unknown, then the thermal resistance of the CLT (cf. Technical
Opinion of the Specialized Group no. 3) must be less than or equal to one
third of the overall thermal resistance of the complete wall.
11.Maintenance and repair
11.1 Maintenance routine
Wash with a damp sponge or better with soapy water.
11.2 Cleaning dirt
Washing with water containing a non-alkaline cleaning agent, followed by rinsing
with clear water.
11.3 Cassette Replacing
Slide system: The cassettes can be replaced individually. It will be necessary to
unscrew the conical screw of the sliders, to align the axis of the latter to the right
of the opening of the buttonholes, and to remove the cassette(s) to be replaced.
U profile system: The cassettes can be replaced by dismantling all or part of the
cassettes positioned above the one(s) to be dismantled. It will be necessary to
translate the cassette upwards in order to align the opening of the buttonholes
with the axis of the studs, and to deposit the cassette(s) to be replaced.
