1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the requirements for factory made calcium silicate products which are used for the thermal insulation of building equipment and industrial
installations with an operating temperature range of approximately - 170 °C to + 1 100 °C.
NOTE
Calcium silicate products can be used below - 50 °C. Below the operating temperature of - 50 °C, special
tests, regarding the suitability of the product 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 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 insulation
systems and composite panels; the structural 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 levels required for a given application can be found in regulations and invitations to tender.
Products with a declared thermal conductivity greater than 0,6 W/(mK) at 10 °C are
not covered by this standard.
This standard does not cover products intended to be used 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.
