European foreword
This document (EN 13163:2012+A2:2016/prA3:2018) has been prepared by Technical Committee
CEN/TC 88 "Thermal insulating materials and products", the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document has been prepared under a standardization request given to CEN by the European
Commission and the European Free Trade Association.
For relationship with Regulation (EU) No. 305/2011, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral
part of this document.
1 Modification to the European foreword
In the fourth paragraph, delete the text ", and supports essential requirements of the EU Construction
Products Regulation (CPR).".
Replace the fifth paragraph with the following: "For relationship with Regulation (EU) No. 305/2011, see
informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this standard.".
Delete the ninth paragraph (list of changes) and replace the tenth paragraph with the following:
"Amendment A3 modifies EN 13163:2012 and its A1 and A2 amendments. The amendment introduces
or corrects:
a) Deletion of clause 4.3.18 Continuous glowing combustion;
b) Modification of clause 4.3.19 Release of Dangerous substances;
c) Modification of the definition for "class F" in the clause "reaction to fire";
d) Editorial modifications in different parts of the text and linked to the above modifications;
e) Addition in Table 9 to clarify testing of complicated shapes;
f) Modifications to be in line with the CPR e.g. PTD replaced by TT;
g) Change the reference Directive to Regulation;
h) Change the word Requirement to Characteristic for those sentences in which the text deals with a
Requirement/Characteristic in terms of the CPR;
i) Modification of Annex ZA.".
Delete the eleventh paragraph (additional list of changes).
In the fourteenth paragraph, add the following standard to the end of the list of standards:
"EN 16069, Thermal insulation products for buildings — Factory made products of polyethylene foam
(PEF) — Specification".
2 Modification to the Scope
Replace the first sentence with:
"This European Standard specifies the characteristics for factory made expanded polystyrene products,
with or without rigid or flexible facings or coatings, which are used for the thermal insulation of
buildings.".
Replace the third paragraph with:
"This standard describes product characteristics and includes procedures for testing, assessment and
verification of constancy of performance (AVCP), marking and labelling.".
3 Modification to Clause 2, "Normative references"
Add the following reference:
"EN 16516, Construction products — Assessment of release of dangerous substances — Determination of
emissions into indoor air"
4 Modification to Clause 3 "Terms, definitions, symbols, units and abbreviated
terms"
In 3.1, delete the term and definition for "3.1.6 level" and "3.1.7 class" and modify the numbers of the
following terms accordingly.
In 3.2, delete the following abbreviated terms:
PTD is Product Type Determination (previously named ITT for Initial Type Test)
VCP is Verification of Constancy of Performance (previously named evaluation of conformity)
Please add the following abbreviated term:
"
TT is Type Testing
".
5 Modification to Clause 4, "Requirements"
In the title of the clause, replace "Requirements" with "Characteristics".
6 Modification to 4.1, "General"
Replace the text in the clause with the following:
"Product characteristics shall be assessed in accordance with Clause 5. To comply with this standard,
products shall meet the characteristics of 4.2 and the characteristics of 4.3, as appropriate.
NOTE Information on additional characteristics is given in Annex F.
For multi-layered products, additional characteristics are given in Annex D.
One test result for a product characteristic is the average of the measured values on the number of test
specimens given in Table 9.".
7 Modifications to 4.3, "For specific applications"
In 4.3.1, replace the text in the clause with the following:
"If there is no requirement for a characteristic described in 4.3 for a product in use, then the
characteristic does not need to be determined and declared by the manufacturer.".
In 4.3.4, replace the last sentence of the clause with:
"If EPS products are classified according to Table C.1, the products shall fulfil the characteristics of
bending strength given in Table C.1.".
Delete subclause 4.3.18.
In 4.3.19, renumber as "4.3.18" and replace the text in the clause with the following:
1)
"If the release of dangerous substances into indoor air is tested, this shall be done according to
EN 16516.
