EN 14316-1:2004 (E) 7 The thermal conductivity shall be determined in accordance with Annex A and declared by the manufacturer according to the following:  the reference mean temperature shall be 10 ºC;  the measured values shall be expressed with three significant figures;  the declared thermal values shall be given as limit values representing at least 90 % of the production, determined with a confidence level of 90 %;  the declared thermal resistance, RD, shall be calculated from the thickness, dN, and the corresponding declared thermal conductivity value, λD, where RD = dN/λ (see NOTE 3);  the value of thermal conductivity, λ90/90, shall be rounded upwards to the nearest 0,001 W/(m·K) and declared as λD in levels with steps of 0,001 W/(m·K);  the value of the declared thermal resistance, RD, shall be rounded downwards to the nearest 0,05 m2·K/W, and declared in levels with steps of 0,05 m2·K/W; An example of the determination of the declared value of thermal conductivity is given in the Annex F. NOTE 1 λ for expanded perlite is normally in the range 0,03 to 0,06 W/(m·K). NOTE 2 A correlation between thermal conductivity and any other property specific to the manufacturer’s product can be used for indirect testing. NOTE 3 The declaration of the installed thermal resistance is described in prEN 14316-2. 4.2.2 Loose bulk density Loose bulk density shall be determined in accordance with EN 1097-3. However, the container should be filled using a flat bottomed scoop held centrally over the container without touching it, and be no more than 50 mm above the rim. The value shall be expressed as kg/m3 and declared by the manufacturer in steps of 1 kg/m3. The loose bulk density shall be in the range of ±15 % of the manufacturer’s declared value. NOTE Most expanded perlite products are in the range 30 kg/m3 to 180 kg/m3. 4.2.3 Particle size 4.2.3.1 Particle size distribution Particle size distribution shall be determined in accordance with EN 933-1 without washing and expressed as a percentage by mass, and shall be in accordance with the manufacturer’s declared limits. 4.2.3.2 Size designation The particle size shall be designated by two sieve sizes between which the main proportion of the material lies and any undersize or oversize shall comply with 4.2.3.3 and 4.2.3.4. The size in mm shall be selected from those specified in EN 13055-2. NOTE The particle size will normally be in the range 0 mm to 16 mm. 4.2.3.3 Undersize The content of the undersize shall not exceed 15 % by mass.



EN 14316-1:2004 (E) 8 4.2.3.4 Oversize The content of oversize shall not exceed 10 % by mass. 4.2.4 Reaction to fire This property is not measured since expanded perlite products described by this document are classified without testing as class A1 products. NOTE 1 The products are classified without testing as class A1 products in accordance with commission decision 96/603/EC as amended by decision 2000/605/EC.
NOTE 2 Products with an organic content greater than 1 % are outside the scope of this document. 4.2.5 Durability characteristics 4.2.5.1 General The appropriate durability characteristics have been considered and are covered in 4.2.5.2, 4.2.5.3 and 4.2.5.4.
4.2.5.2 Durability of reaction to fire against ageing/degradation The fire performance of expanded perlite does not change with time (see 4.2.4).
4.2.5.3 Durability of thermal resistance against ageing/degradation The thermal conductivity (4.2.1) of the product does not change with time and neither does the insulation thickness since any settlement (4.3.5) is negligible.
4.2.5.4 Durability of compression strength against ageing/degradation The compressive strength of expanded perlite does not change with time. Expanded perlite is a stable cellular structure. 4.3 For specific applications 4.3.1 General If there is no requirement for a property described in 4.3 for a product in use, then the property does not need to be determined and declared by the manufacturer. 4.3.2 Water repellency The water repellence of EPH shall be determined in accordance with Annex E and shall not be less than 175 ml. 4.3.3 Crushing resistance In load bearing applications the crushing resistance shall be determined in accordance with EN 13055-1 and expressed in N/mm2. NOTE Crushing resistance is a measure of the strength of the material but it does not necessarily relate directly to load bearing capacity.



EN 14316-1:2004 (E) 9 4.3.4 Water vapour transmission This property is not measured because the open structure of the final product itself offers no resistance to the free movement of water vapour. NOTE µ, for expanded perlite may be assumed to be 3. 4.3.5 Settlement Settlement for expanded perlite is negligible and needs no measurement. 4.3.6 Release of dangerous substances NOTE See Annex ZA. 5 Test methods 5.1 Sampling Sampling shall be carried out according to EN 932-1 and EN 932-2 using a procedure which gives a represen-tative sample and avoids sampling bias. 5.2 Conditioning No special conditioning of the sample shall be used unless otherwise specified in the test method standards. In case of dispute the test samples shall be conditioned to moisture equilibrium at (23 ± 5) ºC and (50 ± 10) % relative humidity after drying at (110 ± 5) ºC. 5.3 Testing 5.3.1 General Table 1 indicates the test procedure, the minimum number of measurements required to get one test result and any specific conditions which are necessary.

(normative)
Determination of the declared values of thermal conductivity A.1 Introduction It is the responsibility of the manufacturer to determine the declared values of thermal conductivity, and to demonstrate conformity of the product to its declared values. The declared values of thermal conductivity of a product are the expected values of these properties during an economically reasonable working life under normal conditions, assessed through measured data at reference conditions. A.2 Input data A.2.1
The manufacturer shall have at least ten test results for thermal conductivity, obtained from internal or external measurements in order to calculate the declared value. A.2.2
Out of the ten test results the manufacturer shall have at least three test results for thermal conductivity, obtained from internal or external direct measurements. The direct thermal conductivity measurements shall be carried out at regular intervals spread over a time period of the last twelve months. If less than three results are available, the time period may be extended, until three test results are reached, but with a maximum of three years within which the product and the production conditions have not changed significantly. A.2.3
If the manufacturer has established a correlation according to A.4 and the direct tests comply with the correlation, the direct test results may be supplemented by indirect test results from the same period. A weighting factor giving the direct test results ten times the value of the indirect test results shall be used as shown in Annex F. A.2.4
For new products a minimum of three direct thermal conductivity test results shall be carried out spread over a minimum period of ten days. If these test results comply with an already established correlation, the direct test results may be supplemented by indirect test results from the same period. The declared values shall be calculated according to the method given in A.3 and shall be recalculated at intervals not exceeding twelve months of production using at least one additional new direct result, and acceptable indirect test results. For the purpose of this declaration, thermal conductivity test results from different production units may be considered as one product group as defined in EN 13172, provided that the same raw material is used, and production conditions are similar. A.3 Declared values The derivation of the declared values, RD and λD, from the calculated values, R90/90 and λ90/90, shall use the rules given in 4.2.1 which include the rounding conditions.



EN 14316-1:2004 (E) 13 The declared values, RD and λD, shall be derived from the calculated values, R90/90 and λ90/90, which are determined using the equations A.1and A.2. λλλskmean/⋅+=9090 (A.1) ()112−−=∑=nsnimeaniλλλ (A.2) Table A.1 — Values of k for one sided 90 % tolerance interval with a confidence level of 90 % Number of test results k 3 4,26 5 2,74 7 2,33 10 2,07 15 1,87 20 1,77 50 1,56 100 1,47 300 1,39 500 1,36 2 000 1,32 ∞ 1,28 NOTE Linear interpolation is acceptable. A.4 Acceptable indirect test results of thermal conductivity Indirect test results can be accepted if the manufacturer can demonstrate a correlation between the direct measured λ, and one or more other properties, where the following conditions shall all be fulfilled:  The correlation shall be based on test results from a period within which the product and the production conditions are within their specific parameters.  The correlation shall be based on testing a minimum of ten samples.  The correlation shall be established by regression analysis with a regression coefficient better than 0,9.  The correlation shall be updated at least once a year by adding at least one new set of test results.  If the raw material or expansion system change outside their specific parameters a new correlation shall be established.

Preparation of the test specimens to measure thermal conductivity C.1 General The general conditions of EN 12667 shall be complied with, but in addition the following requirements shall be taken into account when conditioning and preparing specimens for thermal conductivity testing. C.2 Products EPA, EPC and EPH used as loose fill insulation Dry the specimen at (110 ± 5) °C and then condition at (23 ± 5) °C and (50 ± 10) % RH. Repeat until constant weight is obtained. Transfer the specimen to the apparatus and commence the test without undue delay to avoid moisture uptake. Test the specimen without compaction of the loose-fill material and do not vibrate, pack or tamp the material. It is normal for the thermal conductivity test on expanded perlite to take several days to reach equilibrium. Treat with caution any apparent stability after only a few hours. State in the test report details of conditioning, the time taken to reach equilibrium, and the density of the material in place in the apparatus. C.3 Product EPM used as bonded insulation, also pr
