Overview
EN 1946-4:2000 is a CEN standard that sets specific technical criteria for the assessment of laboratories performing steady‑state heat transfer measurements on building products and components using hot box methods. It defines how laboratories should apply calibrated or guarded hot box apparatus (in line with EN ISO 8990:1996), the use of heat flow meters in a hot box (per EN 1934:1998), and the application of hot box testing to doors and windows (per EN ISO 12567). EN 1946-4:2000 complements the common assessment criteria given in Part 1 of EN 1946.
Key Topics and Requirements
- Scope of laboratory assessment: Technical criteria specific to hot box measurement methods for steady‑state heat transfer properties of building products and components.
- Measurement methods covered:
- Calibrated or guarded hot box apparatus (EN ISO 8990:1996)
- Hot box with heat flow meter technique (EN 1934:1998)
- Application of hot box procedures to doors and windows (EN ISO 12567)
- Quality and competence elements: Criteria focused on ensuring measurement validity, comparability and traceability of heat transfer results (complements Part 1 common criteria).
- Test configuration considerations: Requirements for apparatus calibration, guarding, steady‑state conditions and appropriate instrumentation (as referenced by the related EN/ISO test methods).
- Reporting and interpretation: Guidance on the types of results and documentation expected from laboratories to support accreditation and product evaluation.
Applications
- Laboratory accreditation: Used by accreditation bodies to assess capability and compliance of thermal testing laboratories that use hot box methods.
- Product evaluation and certification: Supports manufacturers and testing bodies verifying thermal performance (U‑values, thermal transmittance) of building products, including facades, doors and windows.
- Regulatory compliance and energy performance: Provides a technical basis for measurements used in energy performance assessments, building code compliance and product data sheets.
- R&D and quality control: Useful in research, product development and factory testing where accurate steady‑state heat transfer measurements are required.
Who should use this standard?
- Test laboratories performing hot box measurements
- Accreditation and conformity assessment bodies
- Window and door manufacturers and façade product developers
- Building physicists, thermal consultants and certification bodies
