Overview
EN 14317-2:2007 is the CEN specification for in‑situ thermal insulation formed from exfoliated vermiculite (EV) products once installed. It covers four product types - Vermiculite Aggregate (EVA), Coated Vermiculite (EVC), Hydrophobic Vermiculite (EVH) and Premixed Vermiculite (EVM) - containing less than 1% organic material (per EN 14317-1). Part 2 is a non‑harmonised, installer‑focused document that defines requirements, measurement procedures and the installer’s declaration for roof, ceiling, wall and floor applications. It excludes factory‑made boards, insulation for building equipment/industrial installations and acoustic performance requirements.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Compliance link: Installers must use products that comply with EN 14317-1 and follow manufacturer guidance and national regulations.
- Thermal calculations: Required thickness (dr) is determined from the specified thermal resistance (Rs) and the declared thermal conductivity (λD) using the relationship:
dr = Rs × λD.
Declared thermal resistance (RD) is calculated as RD = di / λD, where di is installed thickness. - Installed thickness rules: The mean installed thickness must be at least the required thickness; no single measurement may be less than 80% of the specified value.
- In‑situ measurements: Installers must verify thickness and cavity fill. Minimum of five thickness measurements per 100 m² is required. In dispute cases, EN 823 pin‑and‑plate method applies.
- Installer’s declaration: Must record trade name/code, declared thermal resistance, required and installed thickness, volume used, installation date and a statement that installation followed the specified procedure.
- Building suitability: Annex A provides guidance on substrate condition, ventilation, vapour barriers and retention of loose-fill products.
Practical applications and users
This standard is intended for practical use by:
- Installers and contractors applying in‑situ exfoliated vermiculite insulation
- Specifiers, architects and engineers who set required thermal resistance and cavity dimensions
- Building inspectors and compliance officers verifying installation records and declarations
- Manufacturers and suppliers ensuring product labelling aligns with EN 14317-1
Use cases include insulating lofts, pitched/flat roofs, floor voids and cavity walls where loose‑fill or bonded vermiculite products are appropriate.
