d'évaluation de conformité, de marquage et d'étiquetage.
Les produits couverts par la présente norme sont également utilisés dans les systèmes d'isolation thermique
préfabriqués et les panneaux composites ; les performances des systèmes incorporant ces produits ne sont pas
traitées.
La présente norme ne spécifie pas le niveau requis pour une propriété donnée que doit posséder un produit pour
démontrer son aptitude à l'emploi dans une application particulière. Les niveaux requis pour une application
donnée peuvent être trouvés dans les réglementations et les appels d'offres.
La présente norme ne couvre ni les produits pour l'isolation in situ (soufflage ou déversement) ni les produits pour
l'isolation des structures de bâtiments.
La présente norme ne couvre pas les aspects acoustiques suivants : l'isolation contre le bruit aérien direct et
