DIN EN 16809-2

Abstract

Scope: This European Standard specifies the requirements for products of loose-fill expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads and bonded expanded polystyrene beads installed in masonry cavity walls and frame constructions. This European Standard is a specification for the installed insulation products. This European Standard describes, when taken together with EN 16809-1, the product characteristics that are linked to the essential requirements of the Regulation (EU) 305/2011. It also specifies the checks and tests to be used for the declarations made by the installer of the product and the rules for the evaluation of conformity. This European 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. For example, see the note in the scope of EN 16809-1 regarding the possibility of special water penetration tests in different Member States. Products with a declared thermal conductivity at 10 °C greater than 0,060 W/(m·K) are not covered by this standard. This European Standard does not cover factory made expanded polystyrene products in the form of mats, batts, rolls or boards. This European Standard does not cover products intended for airborne sound insulation and for acoustic absorption applications.
