Overview

ISO 29472:2008/Amd 1:2014 is an important amendment to the international standard for thermal insulating products used in building applications. This standard specifies the determination of dimensional stability of thermal insulation materials when subjected to defined temperature and humidity conditions. Developed by ISO Technical Committee 163, Subcommittee 1 (ISO/TC 163/SC 1), it aligns closely with the original European standard EN 1604 and adapts test conditions to include tropical climates.

This amendment provides enhanced guidance for measuring how thermal insulating products maintain their shape and size under various environmental conditions, ensuring performance, safety, and reliability in construction projects worldwide.

Key Topics

  • Dimensional Stability Testing: The core focus is on methods to evaluate the change in size or deformation of thermal insulation products after exposure to specified elevated temperatures and humidity levels.
  • Environmental Conditioning Parameters: The standard outlines procedures for conditioning test specimens - including temperature and relative humidity settings representative of both temperate and tropical climates (e.g., 23°C/50% RH and 27°C/65% RH).
  • Post-Exposure Conditioning: After exposure to test atmospheres, specimens must be acclimatized under controlled standard laboratory conditions before measurement, ensuring accurate and reproducible results.
  • Applicability to Various Thermal Insulation Types: This standard forms part of a comprehensive series covering multiple test methods for thermal insulating products extending to properties like compressive behaviour, tensile strength, water absorption, and more.
  • Integration with European Norms: It harmonizes ISO standards with existing EN standards to foster international consistency and facilitate global trade.

Applications

  • Building Construction: Manufacturers and quality control laboratories use ISO 29472 to assess insulation materials for walls, roofs, and floors to ensure they will not deform or lose insulating properties in typical or extreme climates.
  • Product Development: R&D teams apply this standard to validate design robustness against dimensional changes influenced by temperature and humidity variations.
  • Certification and Compliance: Compliance with ISO 29472 amendment ensures products meet internationally recognized criteria, supporting market acceptance and regulatory requirements.
  • Performance Verification in Tropical Regions: Adaptations for humid and warm environments make the standard highly relevant for projects in tropical and subtropical countries.

Related Standards

ISO 29472 is part of a broader portfolio of ISO standards that cover various physical and mechanical properties of thermal insulating materials for buildings, including:

  • ISO 12344: Determination of bending behaviour
  • ISO 12968: Pull-off resistance for external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS)
  • ISO 29465: Measurement of length and width
  • ISO 29466: Thickness determination
  • ISO 29467: Squareness measurement
  • ISO 29468: Flatness evaluation
  • ISO 29469: Compression behaviour
  • ISO 29470: Apparent density
  • ISO 29471: Dimensional stability in constant normal laboratory conditions

These interconnected standards collectively ensure comprehensive testing coverage of thermal insulating products, supporting performance optimization and durability assessment.


Adhering to ISO 29472:2008/Amd 1:2014 empowers manufacturers, designers, and quality professionals to maintain thermal insulation product integrity, boosting energy efficiency and building comfort while accommodating diverse climate challenges. For international standardization and quality assurance of building insulation, this amendment is a critical reference point.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
