4 Requirements 4.1 General Product properties shall be assessed in accordance with Clause 5. To comply with this standard, products shall meet the requirements of 4.2, and the requirements of 4.3 as appropriate. NOTE Information on additional properties is given in Annex E. One test result for a product property is the average of the measured values on the numbers of test specimens given in Table 4. SIST EN 15501:2013

The thermal conductivity values shall be determined by the manufacturer and verified in accordance with EN ISO 13787. They shall be declared by the manufacturer according to the specified measuring standards mentioned above covering the product service temperature range. The following conditions apply:  the measured values shall be expressed with three significant figures;  the declared conductivity curve shall be given as a limit curve, defined in EN ISO 13787;  the values of the declared thermal conductivity, λD, shall be rounded upwards to the nearest 0,001 W/(m·K). The declared equation/limit curve is the "declared reference" with three significant figures, that is to 0,001 W/(m·K) for λ values below 0,1 W/(m·K) and in 0,01 W/(m·K) for λ values above 0,1 W/(m·K). This shall be used as a reference for the verification of the declaration. When thermal conductivity is declared as a table derived from the equation, rounding upwards to the next 0,001 W/(m·K) has to be done for the full range of the thermal conductivity. NOTE Determinations of the declared thermal conductivity of pipe sections, following EN ISO 8497, having joints in the metering area, include the effects of these joints as defined in EN ISO 23993. 4.2.2 Dimensions and tolerances 4.2.2.1 Linear dimensions The length, l, width, b, and thickness, d, for flat products shall be respectively determined in accordance with EN 822 and EN 823. Length, l, thickness, d, and inside diameter, D, for pipe sections shall be determined in accordance with EN 13467. The dimensions of prefabricated and special ware shall be determined by the appropriated standard. No test result shall deviate from the declared values by more than the tolerance given in Table 1. Table 1 — Dimensional tolerances Form of delivery Length Width Thickness Inside diameter Board ± 3 mm or ± 0,4 % a ± 3 mm or ± 0,4 % a + 3 mm - 2 mm
Pipe section or segment ± 3 mm or ± 0,6 % a
+ 3 mm - 2 mm - 0 mm + 5 mm a Whichever gives the greatest numerical tolerance
4.2.2.2 Squareness Deviation from squareness, Sb and Sd, of boards shall be determined in accordance with EN 824. Deviation from squareness, , of pipe sections and segments shall be determined in accordance with EN 13467. The deviation from squareness of boards on length and width, Sb, shall not exceed 6 mm/m and the deviation from SIST EN 15501:2013

EN 1094-6. At the maximum service temperature, ST(+), the relative changes in length, û0l, and in width, û0b, shall not exceed 2 %. The maximum service temperature, ST(+), shall be declared in °C in levels with steps of 50 °C (Table 2). The test specimen shall not exhibit evidence of self-heating. Table 2 — Levels for maximum service temperatures Level Requirement °C ST(+) 650 ≥ 650 ST(+) 700 ≥ 700 ST(+) 750 ≥ 750 ST(+) 800 ≥ 800 ST(+) 850 ≥ 850 ST(+) 900 ≥ 900 ST(+) 950 ≥ 950 ST(+) 1 000 ≥ 1 000 ST(+) 1 050 ≥ 1 050 ST(+) 1 100 ≥ 1 100
4.3.3 Minimum service temperature Minimum service temperature within the scope of this standard, but above 0°C need not be tested. SIST EN 15501:2013

NOTE EN 826 is not applicable to pipe sections, and compression behaviour is not determined. 4.3.5 Trace quantities of water soluble ions and the pH value Trace quantities of water soluble chloride, fluoride, silicate and sodium ions and the pH-value shall be determined in accordance with EN 13468. The manufacturer shall declare one or more as appropriate as levels in mg per kg of product and the pH-value as levels in steps of 0,5. For chloride and fluoride, no test result shall exceed the declared value. For silicate and sodium, no test result shall be below the declared value. For the pH-value, no test result shall deviate from the declared value by more than 1,0. 4.3.6 Water vapour diffusion resistance Expanded perlite / exfoliated vermiculite products are used for applications at high temperatures where high humidity and water adsorption are irrelevant. In exceptional cases, the water vapour diffusion resistance factor, µ, shall be measured in accordance with EN 12086. 4.3.7 Short term water absorption by partial immersion Expanded perlite / exfoliated vermiculite products are used for applications at high temperatures and water absorption is not relevant. The products should always be stored under dry conditions. In exceptional cases, the short-term water absorption by partial immersion shall be tested in accordance with EN 1609. Short-term water absorption by partial immersion of pipe sections shall be determined in accordance with EN 13472. 4.3.8 Dangerous substances National regulations on dangerous substances may require verification and declaration on release, and sometimes content, when construction products covered by this standard are placed on those markets.

For cylindrical test specimens, thermal conductivity shall be determined in accordance with EN ISO 8497. The tests in accordance with EN ISO 8497 may be replaced by tests in accordance with EN 12939 or EN ISO 8894-1, provided it has been demonstrated that the results give safe (higher) values.
