Light weight fill and thermal insulation products for civil engineering applications (CEA) - Expanded clay lightweight aggregate products (LWA); German version EN 15732:2012
Leichte Schütt- und Wärmedämmstoffe für bautechnische Anwendungen (CEA) - Produkte aus Blähton-Leichtzuschlagstoffen (LWA); Deutsche Fassung EN 15732:2012
Overview
This standard describes the product characteristics and procedures for testing, marking and labelling. This European Standard specifies the requirements for loose-fill expanded clay lightweight aggregate (expanded clay LWA) products for civil engineering applications. It excludes the use as thermal insulation in and under buildings which are covered by the European Standard EN 14063-1. This standard covers the use of expanded clay LWA as lightweight fill and insulation materials in embankments for roads, railways and other trafficked areas and as lightweight backfill for structures. 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 are to be found in regulations or non-conflicting standards. The committee responsible for this standard is NA 005-56-60 AA "Wärmedämmstoffe (SpA zu CEN/TC 88 und WGs, ISO/TC 61/SC 10, ISO/TC 163, ISO/TC 163/SC 1 und SC 3, ISO/TC 163/WG 5)" ("Thermal insulation materials (national mirror committee for 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.
