Alternatively for the declaration of the water vapour diffusion resistance factor, µ, of MW products, the values quoted in EN ISO 10456 may be used; e.g. MW products either unfaced or faced with a fabric with an open structure, may be assumed to be equal to 1. 4.3.9 Dynamic stiffness Dynamic stiffness, s′, shall be determined in accordance with EN 29052-1, without preloading. The value of dynamic stiffness shall be declared in levels with steps of 1 MN/m3. No test result shall exceed the declared level. 4.3.10 Compressibility 4.3.10.1 General The main application of products using compressibility is floating floors. SIST EN 13162:2013

4.3.10.3 Thickness, dB Thickness, dB, shall be determined according to EN 12431 with a pause of 120 s before measuring dB. 4.3.10.4 Compressibility, c Compressibility, c, shall be determined as the difference between dL and dB for products in classes T6 and T7 (see 4.3.10.2). No test result shall exceed the values given in Table 4 for the declared level. A test result is the mean of the readings for the number of test specimens tested.

NOTE 1 The levels of the imposed load on the screed are taken from EN 1991-1-1 [1]. NOTE 2 A test result is the mean of the readings for the number of test specimen tested. The levels CP3, CP4 and CP5 relate to the thickness tolerance class T6 and the level CP2 relates to the thickness tolerance class T7 (see 4.3.10.2). 4.3.10.5 Long term thickness reduction If the imposed load on the screed exceeds 5 kPa only products having a declared level of compressibility of CP2 may be used and their long term thickness reduction shall be determined. The total thickness reduction, Xt = X0 + Xct, shall be determined after one hundred and twenty two days of testing at the imposed load plus the self-weight of the screed, in accordance with EN 1606 and extrapolated thirty times, corresponding to ten years. The ten years value shall not exceed the declared level of compressibility (see 4.3.10.4). SIST EN 13162:2013

NOTE 1 European test methods are under development. NOTE 2 See Annex ZA. 4.3.14 Reaction to fire of the product in standardized assemblies simulating end-use applications
Reaction to fire classification of products in standardized assemblies simulating end-use applications excluding pipe insulation, shall be determined in accordance with EN 13501-1 and the Mounting and Fixing rules given in EN 15715.
This classification offers the opportunity to give a complementary and optional declaration on reaction to fire for standard test configurations of assemblies which include the insulation product.
The number of the selected test configuration of assembly (Table 5 of EN 15715:2009) which is used in the test shall be quoted with the Euroclass.
Detailed information about the test conditions and the field of application of the classification as stated in the reaction to fire classification report shall be given in the manufacturer's literature.
4.3.15 Continuous glowing combustion NOTE A test method is under development and the standard will be amended when this is available.
4.3.16 Shear strength Shear strength, τ, shall be determined in accordance with EN 12090. If the shear stress is declared, no test result shall be less than the declared value, SSi. 4.3.17 Bending strength Bending strength, σb, shall be determined in accordance with EN 12089. If the bending strength is declared, no test result shall be less than the declared level, BSi, chosen from the following values: 25 kPa, 50 kPa, 75 kPa, 100 kPa, 125 kPa, 150 kPa, 175 kPa, 200 kPa, 250 kPa, 300 kPa, 350 kPa, 400 kPa, 450 kPa, 500 kPa, 600 kPa, 700 kPa (e.g. BS100).
