BS EN 14308:2009 Thermal insulation products for building equipment and industrial installations - Factory made rigid polyurethane foam (PUR) and polyisocyanurate foam (PIR) products - Specification
This European Standard specifies the requirements for factory made rigid polyurethane foam (PUR) and
polyisocyanurate foam (PIR) products, with a closed cell content not less than 90 %, with or without facings,
which are used for the thermal insulation of building equipment and industrial installations, with an operating
temperature range of approximately, - 200 °C to + 200 °C.
NOTE Below an operating temperature of - 50 °C, special tests regarding the suitability of the products in the
intended application are advised (e.g. liquefaction of oxygen). Manufacturer's advice should be heeded in all cases.
The products are manufactured in the form of blocks, faced or unfaced boards, pipe sections, segments and
prefabricated ware.
This standard describes product characteristics and includes procedures for testing, evaluation of conformity,
marking and labelling.
Products covered by this standard are also used in prefabricated thermal insulating systems and composite
panels; the performance of systems incorporating these products is not covered.
This standard does not specify the required level of a given property that shall 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 and invitations to tender.
Products with a declared thermal conductivity greater than 0,100 W/(m · K) at 10 °C are not covered by this
standard.
This standard does not cover products for in situ-insulation (spraying or dispensing) or products for the
insulation of the building structure.
This standard does not cover the following acoustical aspects: direct airborne sound insulation and impact
noise transmission index.
