Overview

CEN/TR 14613:2003 is a CEN Technical Report that provides the theoretical background and principles for assessing the thermal performance of moist building materials and components. The report focuses on how moisture in the hygroscopic range affects heat transfer and the thermal properties of materials. It is applicable to all material types but is explicitly limited to moisture contents within the hygroscopic (adsorbed moisture) range rather than bulk liquid moisture.

Key Topics

  • Theory of moisture–heat coupling: conceptual principles describing how bound moisture modifies heat transfer mechanisms in porous and composite materials.
  • Effect of hygroscopic moisture on thermal properties: how thermal conductivity, heat capacity and related properties vary with moisture content in the hygroscopic range.
  • Principles for determination: guidance on the theoretical basis for measuring and modelling thermal properties of moist materials (measurement context and interpretation), without prescribing a single test procedure.
  • Material universality: frameworks and assumptions that apply across different building materials and components while restricting scope to hygroscopic moisture levels.
  • Terminology and definitions: consistent terms related to hygrothermal behaviour, moisture states, and thermal performance to support harmonised communication among practitioners.

Applications

CEN/TR 14613:2003 is intended to support better understanding and reliable evaluation of hygrothermal behaviour in buildings and components. Practical uses include:

  • Informing laboratory testing strategies and interpretation of results when moisture is present in the hygroscopic range.
  • Providing theoretical input for numerical hygrothermal models used in building physics and energy simulations.
  • Guiding product development and specification for manufacturers of insulation, masonry, wood-based and other porous materials.
  • Assisting designers and energy assessors to anticipate moisture-related changes in thermal performance for retrofit and new-build projects.
  • Supporting research into moisture-dependent thermal behaviour across material classes.

Who uses this standard

  • Building physicists and hygrothermal researchers
  • Test laboratories and material characterization teams
  • Manufacturers of insulation and porous building materials
  • Architects, engineers and energy-performance assessors
  • Standards bodies and technical committees developing measurement or calculation methods

Related standards

CEN/TR 14613 complements other CEN and ISO guidance on thermal insulation and hygrothermal properties. It should be used alongside applicable measurement standards and national/regional test methods that define specific test procedures and reporting formats for thermal properties and moisture content.

Keywords: CEN/TR 14613:2003, thermal performance, moist materials, hygroscopic range, thermal properties, heat transfer, hygrothermal, building materials, thermal conductivity, thermal insulation.

Thermal performance of building materials and products - Determination of thermal resistance by means of guarded hot plate and heat flow meter methods - Dry and moist products of medium and low thermal resistance
oSIST prEN 12664:2025

This document specifies principles and testing procedures for determining, by means of the guarded hot plate or heat flow meter methods, the thermal resistance of test specimens either in the dry state or conditioned to equilibrium with moist air, having a thermal resistance of not less than 0,1 m2·K/W and a (hygro)thermal transmissivity or thermal conductivity up to 2,0 W/(m·K).
NOTE   The lower limit for measurable thermal resistance is due to the effect of contact thermal resistances, which require special testing techniques described in this document. Although this document can be used for testing dry specimens of high and medium thermal resistance, i.e. on products having a thermal resistance, that is, on products with a thermal resistance of at least 0.5 m².K/W, the simpler procedures of EN 12667[3] are available for such specimen.
This document does not cover methods to assess the hygrothermal transmissivity of materials in the over-hygroscopic range (i.e. when free liquid water occurs in the material in general above 95% of moisture).
It applies in principle to any mean test temperature, but the equipment design in Annex D is essentially intended to operate between a minimum cooling unit temperature of -100 °C and maximum heating unit temperature of +100 °C.
This document does not supply general guidance and background information (e.g. the heat transfer property to be reported, product-dependent specimen preparations, suggested materials for vapour-tight envelopes when testing moist specimens, procedures requiring multiple measurements, such as those to assess the effect of specimen non-homogeneities, those to test specimens whose thickness exceeds the apparatus capabilities, and those to assess the relevance of the thickness effect).

This document specifies principles and testing procedures for determining, by means of the guarded hot plate or heat flow meter methods, the thermal resistance of dry test specimens having a thermal resistance of not less than 0,5 m2·K/W.
NOTE 1  The above limit is due to the effect of contact thermal resistances. An upper limit for measurable thermal resistance depends upon a number of factors described in this document, but a unique figure cannot be assigned.
It applies in principle to any mean test temperature, but the equipment design in Annex D is essentially intended to operate between a minimum cooling unit temperature of -100 °C and maximum heating unit temperature of +100 °C.
NOTE 2   Limits to the mean test temperature are only imposed by the materials used in the apparatus construction and by ancillary equipment.
This document does not supply general guidance and background information (e.g. the heat transfer property to be reported, product-dependent specimen preparations, procedures requiring multiple measurements, such as those to assess the effect of specimen non-homogeneities, those to test specimens whose thickness exceeds the apparatus capabilities, and those to assess the relevance of the thickness effect).
This document does not apply to cover measurements on moist products of any thermal resistance or measurements on thick products of high and medium thermal resistance.
