Thermal insulation products for buildings - Factory made expanded perlite board (EPB) products - Specification; German version EN 13169:2012
Wärmedämmstoffe für Gebäude - Werkmäßig hergestellte Produkte aus Blähperlit (EPB) - Spezifikation; Deutsche Fassung EN 13169:2012
Overview
This European Standard specifies the requirements for factory made expanded perlite board products, with or without facings or coatings, which are used for the thermal insulation of buildings. The products are manufactured in the form of boards, multi-layered insulation or composite insulation products. This European Standard also covers composite insulation products (see Annex E). Products covered by this standard are also used in prefabricated thermal insulation systems and composite panels. The characteristics of systems incorporating these products are not covered. This standard describes product characteristics and includes the test methods and specifications for evaluation of conformity, marking and labelling. This standard does not specify the required level of a given property to be achieved by a product to demonstrate fitness for purpose in a particular application. The levels required for a given application can be found in regulations or non-conflicting standards. Products with a declared thermal resistance lower than 0,15 m2×K/W or a declared thermal conductivity greater than 0,070 W/(m×K) at 10 °C are not covered by this standard. This standard does not cover in situ insulation products and products intended to be used for the insulation of building equipment and industrial installations. The committee responsible for this standard is NA 005-56-60 AA "Wärmedämmstoffe (SpA zu CEN/TC 88 und WG's, ISO/TC 61/SC 10, ISO/TC 163, ISO/TC 163/SC 1 und SC 3, ISO/TC 163/WG 5)" ("Thermal insulating materials (Mirror Committee of CEN/TC 88 and WGs, ISO/TC 61/SC 10, ISO/TC 163, ISO/TC 163/SC 1 and SC 3, ISO/TC 163/WG 5)") at DIN.
