DIN EN 14313
Thermal insulation products for building equipment and industrial installations - Factory made polyethylene foam (PEF) products - Specification; German version EN 14313:2015

Title (German)

Wärmedämmstoffe für die technische Gebäudeausrüstung und für betriebstechnische Anlagen in der Industrie - Werkmäßig hergestellte Produkte aus Polyethylenschaum (PEF) - Spezifikation; Deutsche Fassung EN 14313:2015

Overview

This European Standard specifies the requirements for factory made flexible polyethylene foam products which are used for the thermal insulation of building equipment and industrial installations with an operating temperature in the range of approximately -80 °C to +150 °C. Tensile stress in the insulation product should be avoided when applying PEF. This is even more important when applying PEF on lines with operating temperatures between -50 °C and -80 °C. The tensile stress should be kept at the minimum by applying the foam "under pressure", that is cutting the parts in a generous way. Manufacturer’s advice should be heeded in all cases. The products are manufactured in the form of tubes, profiles, sheets, rolls and tapes with or without coating and/or self-adhesive backing and/or different closure systems. 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 of a given property that should 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 and invitations to tender. Products with a declared thermal conductivity greater than 0,050 W/(m·K) at 10 °C are not covered by this standard. This standard does not cover products for the insulation of the building structure. The normative part of this standard does not cover compressive stress (see C.4). This standard differs from DIN EN 14313:2013-04 as follows: a) adaptation to the Construction Products Regulation (CPR). Regarding the German collaboration, the responsible committee is NA 005-56-69 AA "Dämmstoffe für betriebstechnische Anlagen in Gebäuden und in der Industrie (SpA zu CEN/TC 88/WG 10)" ("Thermal insulation materials for building equipment and industrial installations (Mirror Committee of CEN/TC 88/WG 10)") at DIN Standards Committee Building and Civil Engineering (NABau).
