Overview
EN 14308:2009/FprA1 is a European Standard developed by CEN that specifies the requirements for factory-made rigid polyurethane foam (PUR) and polyisocyanurate foam (PIR) products. These thermal insulation materials are designed specifically for building equipment and industrial installations, with a closed cell content of no less than 90%. The products can have facings or be unfaced and are manufactured in various forms including blocks, boards, pipe sections, segments, and prefabricated components.
This standard covers products with an operating temperature range approximately from -200 °C to +200 °C, making them suitable for a wide array of insulation needs. It defines product characteristics, testing procedures, conformity evaluation, and guidelines for marking and labelling. EN 14308:2009/FprA1 supports essential EU requirements and helps ensure the quality and performance of PUR and PIR thermal insulation products.
Key Topics
- Thermal Insulation Materials: Rigid polyurethane foam (PUR) and polyisocyanurate foam (PIR) products manufactured with closed cell content ≥ 90%.
- Product Formats: Blocks, faced or unfaced boards, pipe sections, segments, and prefabricated insulation ware.
- Operating Temperature Range: Suitable for temperatures between approximately -200 °C and +200 °C.
- Thermal Conductivity: Products with declared thermal conductivity less than or equal to 0.100 W/(m·K) at 10 °C.
- Testing and Conformity: Specifies internal testing (ITT), factory production control (FPC), and criteria for conformity evaluation including thermal resistance, compressive strength, water absorption, and reaction to fire.
- Designations and Marking: Specifies codes for water vapour transmission and closed cell content to ensure consistent product identification.
- Exclusions: Does not cover in situ insulation (sprayed or dispensed), building structural insulation products, or direct acoustical properties like airborne sound insulation and impact noise transmission.
Applications
Factory-made rigid PUR and PIR foam insulation products compliant with EN 14308:2009/FprA1 are widely used in:
- Building Equipment Insulation: Effective thermal insulation for HVAC systems, heating pipes, air conditioning ducts, and refrigeration units.
- Industrial Installations: Thermal protection for industrial piping, tanks, vessels, and process equipment operating under extreme temperature conditions.
- Prefabricated Systems: Components forming part of composite panels and prefabricated insulation systems for both commercial and industrial buildings.
- Energy Efficiency Solutions: Helping to minimize heat loss or gain in mechanical and industrial installations, leading to optimized energy consumption and cost savings.
This standard ensures that insulation materials meet rigorous quality and performance requirements, enhancing durability, thermal efficiency, and safety in various building and industrial applications.
Related Standards
To implement EN 14308:2009/FprA1 effectively, professionals often refer to related European and international standards that complement thermal insulation requirements and conformity assessment:
- EN 13172 – Thermal insulation products: Evaluation of conformity and marking.
- EN 13162 – Thermal insulation products for buildings: Factory-made mineral wool products specification.
- Construction Products Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 – Establishes harmonized rules for products in the construction sector, mandating performance declarations.
- EN ISO 10456 – Building materials and products: Declaration of thermal and hygric properties.
- EN 13501-1 – Fire classification of construction products and building elements.
By aligning with EN 14308:2009/FprA1 and related standards, manufacturers and specifiers can ensure thermal insulation products provide reliable performance, comply with EU regulations, and meet application-specific demands.
