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).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).

5 Principle
The compressive creep is determined by measuring the increase in deformation of a test specimen
under constant compressive stress and specified conditions of temperature, humidity and time.
6 Apparatus
6.1 Loading device, consisting of two flat plates, one of which shall be movable, arranged so that they
compress the test specimen in a vertical direction. The movable plate shall be guided in such a manner as
to be self-aligning. The plates shall be capable of being loaded smoothly and without distortion so that,
during the test, the static stress does not change by more than +5 %.
6.2 Measuring device (e.g. dial gauge), capable of determining the distance between the two plates,
i.e. the deformation of the test specimen, to an accuracy of 0,01 mm.
6.3 Suitable damping measures, to ensure the effects of external vibration are minimized (e.g. a
substantial foundation and anchoring of the apparatus support).
Examples of the testing apparatus are given in Figure 2.

7 Test specimens
7.1 Selection of test specimens
The test specimens for determining the compressive creep shall be taken from the same sample, with
the same preparation as the test specimens used for the compression test as specified in ISO 29469.
The method for selecting the test specimens shall be as specified in the relevant product standard.
NOTE In the absence of a product standard or any other technical specification, the method for selection of
the test specimens can be agreed between parties.
7.2 Dimensions of test specimens
The thickness of test specimens shall be equal to the original product thickness. The width of the test
specimens shall not be less than their thickness. Products with facings or integral moulded skins which
are intended to be retained in use shall be tested with these faces or skins intact.

International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies
casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 16534 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 163, Thermal performance and energy use in
the built environment, Subcommittee SC 1, Test and measurement methods.
ISO 16534 includes the original EN 1606 prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 88 “Thermal
insulating materials and products”, with the following clauses modified to reflect the conditions for
tropical countries:
— Clause 6.5: Conditioning of test specimens;

4 Principle
The compressive creep is determined by measuring the increase in deformation of a test specimen
under constant compressive stress and specified conditions of temperature, humidity and time.
5 Apparatus
5.1 Loading device, consisting of two flat plates, one of which shall be movable, arranged so that they
compress the test specimen in a vertical direction. The movable plate shall be guided in such a manner as
to be self-aligning. The plates shall be capable of being loaded smoothly and without distortion so that,
during the test, the static stress does not change by more than ± 5 %.
5.2 Measuring device (e.g. dial gauge), capable of determining the distance between the two plates,
i.e. the deformation of the test specimen, to an accuracy of 0,01 mm.
5.3 Suitable damping measures, to ensure the effects of external vibration are minimized (e.g. a
substantial foundation and anchoring of the apparatus support).
Examples of the testing apparatus are given in Figure 2.

6 Test specimens
6.1 Selection of test specimens
The test specimens for determining the compressive creep shall be taken from the same sample, with
the same preparation as the test specimens used for the compression test as specified in EN 826.
The method for selecting the test specimens shall be as specified in the relevant product standard.
NOTE In the absence of a product standard or any other technical specification, the method for selection of
the test specimens can be agreed between parties.
6.2 Dimensions of test specimens
The thickness of test specimens shall be equal to the orig
