BS EN 14309:2009 Thermal insulation products for building equipment and industrial installations - Factory made products of expanded polystyrene (EPS) - Specification
This European Standard specifies the requirements for factory made products of expanded polystyrene which are
used for the thermal insulation of building equipment and industrial installations with an operating temperature range
of approximately - 180 °C to + 80 °C. Modified expanded polystyrene polymers with a higher temperature resistance
are also covered by this standard.
NOTE Below an operating temperature of - 50 °C, special tests regarding the suitability of the product in the intended
application are advised (e.g. liquefaction of oxygen). Manufacturers’ advice should be heeded in all cases.
The products are manufactured in the form of faced or unfaced boards, rolls, lags, pipe sections or other 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 insulation systems and composite panels;
the performance of systems incorporating these products is not covered.
This standard does not specify the required level or class of a given property that shall be achieved by a product to
demonstrate fitness for purpose in a particular application. The classes and levels required for a given application can
be found in regulations and invitations to tender.
Products with a declared thermal conductivity greater than 0,060 W/(m·K) at 10 °C are not covered by this standard.
This standard does not cover products for in situ insulation (for loose fill or poured insulation) or products for the
insulation of the building structure.
