Overview

EN ISO 29766:2022 is a European and international standard specifying the test methods for determining the tensile strength parallel to faces of thermal insulating products used in building applications. Developed by ISO/TC 163 in collaboration with CEN/TC 88, this standard replaces EN 1608:2013 and ensures consistent, accurate evaluation of mechanical durability, particularly the ability of insulation materials to withstand stresses during transportation and application.

The standard defines required equipment, specimen dimensions, conditioning, testing procedures, and calculation methods to measure tensile strength. It applies to all types of thermal insulating products in construction, helping manufacturers and stakeholders verify product robustness and compliance with performance requirements.

Key Topics

  • Test Methodology: The tensile strength is measured by pulling a specimen parallel to its faces using a tensile testing machine with a controlled crosshead speed of (10 ± 1) mm/min until failure occurs.
  • Specimen Preparation: Specimens must retain original product thickness including skins/coatings, be cut with specific dimensions (minimum length 500 mm) and oriented such that the tensile force aligns with the product’s length direction.
  • Conditioning: Specimens are conditioned at (23 ± 5) °C for at least six hours, with a more precise standard of (23 ± 2) °C and 50 ± 5% relative humidity (RH) in case of disputes; tropical climate conditions of (27 ± 2) °C and 65 ± 5% RH can also be applied and documented.
  • Apparatus Requirements: Equipment must include a tensile testing machine with an uncertainty of measurement not exceeding ±1%, and clamps designed to prevent specimen failure near the gripping area while ensuring uniform stress distribution.
  • Calculation: Tensile strength (σ_t) is calculated by dividing the maximum recorded tensile force (F) by the cross-sectional area of the test specimen (thickness × width), expressed in kilopascals (kPa).
  • Accuracy and Reproducibility: Repeatability limits for tensile strength measurement are approximately 3%, ensuring reliable and reproducible test results across different laboratories.

Applications

  • Quality Control: Manufacturers of thermal insulating products use this standard to ensure their materials meet mechanical strength requirements essential for durability.
  • Building Material Testing: Construction engineers and material testing labs apply EN ISO 29766:2022 to verify tensile strength properties, ensuring insulation products can resist stresses during installation and service life.
  • Product Development: Innovation teams utilize this method for assessing material improvements and validating new formulations or composites for thermal insulation.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Compliance with EN ISO 29766 helps products align with building codes and performance standards, contributing to energy efficiency and safety in construction projects.
  • Transport and Handling Assessment: By confirming tensile strength parallel to faces, stakeholders reduce risk of product damage during transit and onsite handling.

Related Standards

  • ISO 29466: Determination of the thickness of thermal insulating products.
  • ISO 29768: Determination of linear dimensions of test specimens.
  • ISO 5725-1 & ISO 5725-2: Standards on accuracy, trueness, precision, repeatability, and reproducibility in measurement methods.
  • EN 1608: The previous standard for tensile strength evaluation, superseded by EN ISO 29766:2022.

This standard is integral to the consistent testing and certification of thermal insulating products, ensuring they perform reliably in building applications and meet international expectations for quality and safety. For full implementation and detailed procedures, professionals should consult the complete EN ISO 29766:2022 document.
