Thermal insulation products - Assessment of the susceptibility to mould growth - Laboratory test method; German version EN 17886:2023
Wärmedämmstoffe - Bewertung der Anfälligkeit für Schimmelpilzwachstum - Laborprüfverfahren; Deutsche Fassung EN 17886:2023
Overview
This laboratory test method is used to determine the behavior of thermal insulation products when exposed to mold fungi under certain thermal and hydric conditions. This method applies to loosely filled insulation materials or insulation products made of boards, regardless of whether or not they are treated with additives or biocidal products. The responsible German standardization committee is Working Committee NA 005-56-60 AA "Wärmedämmstoffe (SpA zu CEN/TC 88 und WG 1 bis 9, WG 12 bis 16, WG 19 bis 23, ISO/TC 61/SC 10, ISO/TC 163 (teilweise), ISO/TC 163/SC 1 und SC 3 (teilweise))" ("Thermal insulation materials (national mirror committee CEN/TC 88 und WG 1 bis 9, WG 12 bis 16, WG 19 bis 23, ISO/TC 61/SC 10, ISO/TC 163 (partly), ISO/TC 163/SC 1 und SC 3 (partly)") at DIN Standards Committee Building and Civil Engineering (NABau).
