No test result for either the compressive stress at 10 % deformation or the compressive strength, whichever is the smaller, shall be less than the declared level, CS(10\Y), chosen from the following values : 0,5 kPa;
5 kPa; 10 kPa; 15 kPa; 20 kPa; 25 kPa; 30 kPa; 40 kPa; 50 kPa; 60 kPa; 70 kPa; 80 kPa; 90 kPa; 100 kPa; 110 kPa; 120 kPa; 130 kPa; 140 kPa; 150 kPa; 175 kPa; 200 kPa; 225 kPa; 250 kPa; 300 kPa; 350 kPa; 400 kPa; 500 kPa. SIST EN 14303:2010
The labelled level shall indicate the level for compressive stress at 10 % deformation, CS(10), or the level for compressive strength, CS(Y), whichever is the smaller. NOTE EN 826 is not applicable to pipe sections, and compression behaviour is not determined. 4.3.5 Water absorption
Short term water absorption by partial immersion, Wp shall be determined in accordance with EN 1609 for flat product or by EN 13472 for preformed insulation. No test result of the water absorption Wp, shall exceed 1,0 kg/m2(WS1). 4.3.6 Water vapour diffusion resistance Mineral wool products on their own do not significantly impede the movement of water vapour. Facings provide the water vapour diffusion resistance. Water vapour diffusion equivalent air layer thickness of faced products, sd, shall be determined in accordance with EN 12086 for flat specimens and in accordance with EN 13469 for cylindrical specimens. No test result shall be less than the value given in Table 4 for the declared level. In the absence of measurements, the water vapour diffusion resistance factor, µ, of mineral wool products, either unfaced or faced with a fabric with an open structure, may be assumed to be equal to 1.

Alternatively, for the declaration of water vapour transmission properties, the values quoted in EN ISO 10456 may be used. NOTE Water accumulation in the insulation is not only caused by diffusion, but also by air movements through holes and gaps in the water vapour retarder. 4.3.7 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. 4.3.8 Sound absorption The sound absorption coefficient shall be determined in accordance with EN ISO 354 but always without a plenum. The sound absorption characteristics shall be calculated in accordance with EN ISO 11654 using the values for the practical sound absorption coefficient, αp, at the frequencies: 125 Hz, 250 Hz, 500 Hz, 1 000 Hz, 2 000 Hz and 4 000 Hz and the single number value for αw (weighted sound absorption coefficient). αp and αw shall be rounded to the nearest 0,05 (αp > 1 shall be expressed as αp = 1) and declared in levels with steps of 0,05. No test result (αp and αw) shall be lower than the declared level. SIST EN 14303:2010
Table 5 gives the dimensions of the test specimens, the minimum number of measurements required to get one test result and any specific conditions which are necessary. The test may be performed on the unfaced/uncoated product if the facing/coating is known to have no influence on the property. 5.3.2 Thermal conductivity For flat test specimen thermal conductivity shall be determined in accordance with EN 12667 or EN 12939 for thick products. 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 12667 or EN 12939 provided it has been demonstrated that the results give safe (higher) values. The thermal conductivity shall be determined for the full temperature range of the product. For factory production control see Annex A. For ITT, measurements of thermal conductivity made on two internal diameters of pipe sections at the greatest and smallest insulation thickness for each set of the diameters are deemed to be representative of the total product range. For FPC, one dimension only is used. NOTE Suitable sizes are 48 mm and 194 mm internal diameter. SIST EN 14303:2010
The guarded hot plate method, EN 12667 or EN 12939 shall be deemed to be a suitable method for measurement of pipe insulation having an internal diameter exceeding 500 mm. Flat slabs shall be prepared having the same thickness and density as the sections. If the guarded hot plate method is used the fact shall be stated in the test report. The thermal conductivity shall be determined directly at the measured thickness. If this is not possible it shall be determined by measurements on other thicknesses of the product providing that: the product is of similar chemical and physical characteristics and produced on the same production line/unit; and it can be demonstrated that the thermal conductivity, λ, does not vary more than 2 % over the range of thicknesses where the calculation is applied. Where a product is manufactured in a range of thicknesses and the manufacturer chooses to characterise the entire range by declaring only one λ, he shall declare the highest λ of the range. If facings or stitches have been removed, this and the reason for removal shall be stated in the test report. For products with a compressive stress or compressive strength lower than 10 kPa, the thermal conductivity shall be determined at nominal thickness, dN, or measured thickness whichever is the lower, for wired matts the measurement is always at nominal thickness.
