Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard ISO 12567-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 163, Thermal insulation,

Introduction
The method specified in this part of ISO 12567 is based on ISO 8990. It is designed to provide both standardized
tests, which enable a fair comparison of different products to be made, and specific tests on products for practical
application purposes. The former specifies standardized specimen sizes and applied test criteria.
The determination of the aggregate thermal transmittance is performed for conditions which are similar to the actual
situation of the window and door in practice.

4Principle
The thermal transmittance, U, of the specimen is measured by means of the calibrated or guarded hot box method
in accordance with ISO 8990.
The determination of the thermal transmittance involves two stages. First, measurements are made on two or more
calibration panels with accurately known thermal properties, from which the surface coefficient of the heat transfer
(radiative and convective components) on both sides of the calibration panel and the thermal resistance of the
surround panel are determined. Secondly, measurements are made with the window or door specimens in the
aperture and the hot box apparatus is used with the same fan settings on the cold side as during the calibration
procedure.
The surround panel is used to keep the specimen in a given position. It is constructed with outer dimensions of
appropriate size for the apparatus, having an aperture to accommodate the specimen (see Figures 1 and 2).
The principal heat flows through the surround panel and the calibration panel (or test specimen) are shown in
Figure 3. The boundary edge heat flow due to the location of the calibration panel in the surround panel is
determined separately by a linear thermal transmittance,� .
The procedure in this part of ISO 12567 includes a correction for the boundary edge heat flow, so that standardized
and reproducible thermal transmittance properties are obtained.
The magnitude of the boundary edge heat flow as a function of geometry, calibration panel thickness and thermal
conductivity is determined by tabulated values given in annex B.
Measurement results are corrected to standardized surface heat transfer coefficients by an interpolation or
analytical iteration procedure, derived from the calibration measurements.
Measures are taken (e.g. pressure equalization between the warm and cold side or sealing of the joints on the
inside) to ensure that the air permeability of the test specimen does not influence the measurements.

Dimensions in millimetres
The total gap width between the top and bottom of the specimen and the surround panel aperture shall not exceed

5 Requirements for test specimens and apparatus
5.1 General
The construction and operation of the apparatus shall comply with the requirements specified in ISO 8990, except
where modified by this part of ISO 12567. To make heat transfer measurements on the specimen, it is necessary to
mount it in a suitable surround panel and deduce the heat flow through it by subtracting that through the surround
panel from the total heat input. Also, the test element and the surround panel will usually be of different thickness,
so that there will be disturbance of heat flow paths and temperatures in the region of the boundary between the
two. The test shall be carried out so that edge corrections can be applied.
5.2 Surround panels
The surround panel acts as an idealized wall with high thermal resistance and holds the window or door in the
correct position and separates the warm box from the cold box. The surround panel shall be large enough to cover
the open face of the guard box in the case of a guarded hot box apparatus, or the open face of the hot box in the
case of a calibrated hot box apparatus.
The surround panel shall be not less than 100 mm thick or the maximum thickness of the specimen, whichever is
the greater, and it shall be constructed with core material of stable thermal conductivity not greater than
0,04 W/(m�K). An appropriate aperture shall be provided to accommodate the calibration panel or test specimen
(see Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4). Sealed plywood facing or plastic sheet on either side of the surround panel to provide
rigidity is permitted. No material of thermal conductivity higher than 0,04 W/(m�K) (other than non-metallic thin tape)
shall bridge the aperture. The surfaces of the surround panel and baffle plates shall have a high emissivity (> 0,8).
5.3 Test specimens
For general applications, specimen sizes may be typical of those found in practice. To ensure consistency of
measurement, the specimen should be located as follows. The window or door system shall fill the surround panel
aperture. The internal frame face shall be as close to the face of the surround panel as possible, but no part shall
project beyond the surround panel faces on either the cold or warm sides, except for handles, rails or fittings which
normally project (see Figures 1 and 2).
It is recommended that the aperture should be placed centrally into the surround panel and at least 200 mm from
the inside surfaces of the cold and hot boxes to avoid or limit edge heat flow corrections related to the perimeter of
thesurroundpanel.
For standardized test applications, the overall sizes recommended are indicated in Table 3, or they shall conform
with the size required by national standards or other regulations.
In any case the area of aperture shall be not less than 0,8 m , for reasons of accuracy. The perimeter joints
between the surround panel and the specimen shall be sealed on both sides with tape, caulking or mastic material.

5.4 Calibration panels
Calibration panels shall be of a size similar to the test specimen (within � 40 % in height and width). They are
required to set up specified test conditions, to determine the surface coefficients of heat transfer and to establish
the thermal resistance of the surround panel.
At least two calibration panels shall be built which fulfil the following requirements.
a) The core material of the calibration panel shall be made of homogeneous material with known thermal
conductivity or thermal resistance. The material used shall not be prone to ageing effects.
b) The nature of the surface of the calibration panel shall be similar to that of the test specimen. The emissivity of
the surface shall be known (e.g. normal float glass) or shall be measured according to EN 12898.
c) The calibration panels shall cover the likely range of test specimen density of heat flow rate. The use of two
calibration panels with different total thickness is recommended:
1) total thickness approximately 20 mm;
2) total thickness approximately 60 mm.
More details and guidance on how to build up the calibration panels are given in annex C.
The thermal resistance of the insulating material used in the panels shall be measured for mean temperatures in
the range 0 �Cto15 �C by using a guarded hot plate or heat flow meter apparatus in accordance with ISO 8302 or
ISO 8301 respectively. Alternatively calibration panels may be used with certified properties from an accredited
source. In any case the calibration panels shall be mounted in the surround panel aperture 40 mm from the warm
face as shown in Figure 3.
5.5 Temperature measurements and baffle positions
For calibration measurements, the warm and cold side surface temperatures shall be measured or calculated. (For
calibration panel design and sensor mounting, see annex C.) A minimum of 9 positions at the centre of a
rectangular grid of equal areas shall be used on the calibration panel and 8 positions on the surround panel
(Figure 5). No temperature sensors shall be closer than 100 mm to the edge of the calibration panel. Temperature
sensors and recording systems shall be accurately calibrated. The recommended temperature sensor to be used
for surface temperature measurement is the type T thermocouple (copper/constantan) according to IEC 60584-1
made from wire with diameter not greater than 0,5 mm. They shall be fixed to the surface using adhesive or
adhesive tape with an outer surface of high emissivity (> 0,8). If alternative sensors are used, they shall be at least
as accurate as the above, not subject to drift or hysteresis, and shall be as small as possible to avoid disturbance
of the temperature field near the point of contact. Suitability can be investigated with an infrared camera under heat
flow conditions similar to the required operating specifications.
It is recommended that the same layout of the surface temperature grid on the calibration panel is used
(a minimum of 9) for air temperature and baffle plate measurements.
For natural convection on the warm side, the distance between the baffle and the plane of the warm face of the
surround panel shall be not less than 150 mm and on the cold face not less than 50 mm for appropriate air speed
(not less than 1,5 m/s during the first calibration test, see 5.6 and 6.2.2.1). Air temperatures shall be measured on
each side outside the boundary layer.
5.6 Air flow measurement
The cold side air speed shall be measured at a position that represents the free stream condition. For either vertical
or horizontal flow patterns, it is essential that the sensor is not in the test specimen surface boundary layers or in
the wake of any projecting fitting. If a small fan is used on the warm side, an air speed sensor (see Figure 5) shall
be used to verify that the air speed representing natural convection prevails (less than 0,3 m/s).

Figure 5 — Location of temperature and air speed sensors
If the dimensions of the metering box are such that its perimeter contacts lie closer to the aperture edges than
200 mm, then it is inappropriate to measure the warm surface temperatures of the surround panel. In this instance,
it is permissible to use warm side average air temperatures as replacement for surround panel average warm
surface temperature to determine �� in the calibrations in 6.2.4 [equation (8)]. If this is done, then the same
s,sur
procedure shall be adopted to correct for the surround panel influences in the subsequent measurements [see 6.3,
equation (12)].

6 Test procedure
6.1 General
The general operating procedure for the hot box measurements shall follow that specified in ISO 8990, and in
addition, the following requirements shall be complied with.
6.2 Calibration measurements
6.2.1 General
These are required to ensure that suitable test conditions are set up and that the surround panel heat flow and
surface heat transfer coefficients can be fully accounted for.
The calibration measurements shall be carried out at a minimum of six densities of heat flow rates which cover the
required range of specimen testing.
It is recommended to make the calibration measurements at three different mean air temperatures
� [� =(� +� )/2] in steps of � 5 K by varying the cold side air temperature, retaining constant
c,me c,me c,i c,e
conditions of air movement on the cold side and constant air temperature and natural convection on the warm side.
By this procedure surface resistances and coefficients of heat transfer can be determined as a function of the total
density of heat flow rate through the calibration panel.
NOTE It is considered that for non-homogeneous test specimens like windows or doors, the mean heat transfer conditions
over the measured area will be comparable to those of the given calibration panel.
6.2.2 Total surface resistance
6.2.2.1 Measurement
The first calibration test shall be made with the thin panel (d � 20 mm) at a mean temperature of approximately
cal
10 �C or appropriate to national standards and a temperature difference, �� between warm and cold sides, of
c
(20 � 2) K or appropriate to national standards (see ISO 8990 and annex A for the determination of the environ-
mental temperatures).
The air velocity on the cold side shall be adjusted for the first calibration test by throttling or by fan speed
adjustment to give a total surface thermal resistance (warm and cold side) R =(R � 0,01) m �K/W, e.g.
s,t (s,t),st
(0,17 � 0,01) m �K /W or appropriate to national standards. Thereafter the fan speed settings and/or the throttling
devices shall remain constant for all subsequent calibration measurements. The setup used for the calibration
procedure shall be used for all tests with specimens of windows or doors.

measurements of test specimens (windows and doors).
6.2.3 Surface resistances and surface coefficients of heat transfer
6.2.3.1 General
Surface coefficients of heat transfer (convective and radiative parts) are needed in order to determine the
environmental temperatures (according to the procedures given in annex A and ISO 8990). Surface temperature
measurements on the calibration panel at different densities of heat flow rate will allow the determination of the
surface coefficients of heat transfer. The surface resistances are calculated using equations (4) and (5):
