What is BS EN 13163 - Factory-made expanded polystyrene products about?
BS EN 13163 is the European standard for thermal insulation products that consistently offer the intended resistance to heat flow throughout the building's lifetime.
BS EN 13163 specifies the requirements for factory-made expanded polystyrene products, with or without rigid or flexible facings or coatings, which are used for the thermal insulation of buildings.
The products are manufactured in the form of boards or rolls or other preformed ware (flat, tapered, tongue and grooves, shiplap, profiled etc.).
Products covered by BS EN 13163 are also used for sound insulation and in prefabricated thermal insulation systems and composite panels.
BS EN 13163 describes product characteristics and includes procedures for testing, evaluation of conformity, marking and labelling.
Note 1: BS EN 13163 does not specify the required class or level of a given property to be achieved by a product to demonstrate fitness for purpose in a particular application.
Note 2: Products with a declared thermal resistance lower than 0,25 m²⋅K/W or a declared thermal conductivity at 10 °C greater than 0,060 W/(m⋅K) is not covered by BS EN 13163.
Note 3: BS EN 13163 does not cover in-situ insulation products, products intended to be used for the insulation of building equipment and industrial installations, products intended to be used in civil engineering applications and products intended to be used in beam and block systems in floors.
