4 Characteristics
4.1 General
Product properties shall be assessed in accordance with Clause 5. To comply with this standard,
products shall meet the characteristics of 4.2, and the characteristics of 4.3 as appropriate.
This document gives performance charts for three different applications:
— loft insulation;
— masonry cavity wall insulation;
— frame insulation.
One test result on a product property is the average of the measured values on the number of test
specimens given in Table 3.
4.2 For all applications
4.2.1 Thermal conductivity − Thermal resistance
Thermal resistance and thermal conductivity shall be based upon measurements carried out in
accordance with EN 12667.
The thermal values shall be determined in accordance with Annex A and declared by the manufacturer,
according to the following:
— the reference mean temperature shall be 10 °C;
— the measured values shall be expressed with three significant figures;
— the thermal resistance, R , shall always be declared. The thermal conductivity, λ , shall be declared
D D
where possible;
— the thermal resistance, R , and the thermal conductivity, λ , shall be given as limit values
D D
representing at least 90 % of the production determined with a confidence level of 90 %;
— the value of thermal conductivity λ shall be rounded upwards to the nearest 0,001 W/(m·K)
90/90
and declared in levels with steps of 0,001 W/(m·K);
— the declared thermal resistance, R , shall be calculated from the insulation thickness and the
D
corresponding thermal conductivity, λ (see NOTE below);
90/90
— The value of thermal resistance, R , shall be rounded downward to the nearest 0,05 m ·K/W and
D
declared in levels with steps of 0,05 m ·K/W.
NOTE The declaration of the installed thermal resistance for blown mineral wool is described in EN 14064-2.
4.2.2 Weight of the sale unit
The quantity of material in one sale unit shall not be lower than the nominal weight of the sale unit.
4.2.3 Settlement
4.2.3.1 General
The difference between the three applications listed in 4.1 lies in the requirement for settlement. Loft
insulation can have any class of settlement, but closed constructions as masonry cavity wall insulation
and frame insulation should fulfil the requirements of settlement class S1 unless otherwise specified in
non-conflicting application standards or regulations.
4.2.3.2 Lofts
Settlement shall be declared in accordance with Table 1.
The declaration shall be based upon the expected settlement 25 years after installation. The installed
insulation shall have been made on constructions similar to those declared by the manufacturer in the
performance chart.
The declaration shall be derived from test as described in Annex J.
If the settlement after the completion of any of the above tests is not measurable (≤1 %), settlement
class S1 shall be declared.
If the settlement after the completion of any of the above tests is more than 1 % but less or equal to 5 %,
settlement class S2 shall be declared.
If settlement after the completion of any of the above tests is more than 5 % but less than or equal to
10 % then settlement class S3 shall be declared.
If settlement after the completion of any of the above tests is more than 10 %, the product does not
comply with this standard.
Table 1 — Classes for settlement for lofts application
Class Requirement
S1 settlement (≤ 1 %)
S2 > 1 % and ≤ 5 %
S3 > 5 % and ≤ 10 %
NOTE The 1 % limit does correspond to a maximum rounded value of 1,49. If value is ≤ 1,49 % then
settlement is S1.
4.2.3.3 Walls, masonry walls and frame constructions (closed cavities)
As these constructions are difficult or impossible to re-fill, no settlement shall be accepted and only
settlement class S1 is accepted.
The settlement should be measured following protocol written in J.1.3.
Documented minimum densities to avoid settlement shall be applied. These densities are related to
structure type and climatic conditions and are confirmed by the relevant authority dealing with the
application in the “works”.
Alternatively, the minimum densities in Table 2 shall apply.
NOTE 1 The 1 % limit does correspond to a maximum rounded value of 1,49. If value is less than 1,49, then
settlement declaration is S1.
NOTE 2 Above 5 % of slope is not considered as horizontal.

Stone Wool 60 kg/m 70 kg/m 65 kg/m
4.2.4 Reaction to fire
Reaction to fire classification of the product, as placed on the market, shall be determined in accordance
with EN 13501-1:2007+A1:2009 and the Annex F of this standard.
Manufacturers declaring Euroclass A1 without further test shall demonstrate by testing in accordance
with EN 13820 that the products do not contain more than 1,0 % by weight of organic matter.
NOTE 1 The Commission Decision 96/603/EC of 4 October 1996 amended by the Commission Decision
2000/605/EC of 26 September 2000 gives the list of products to be considered as reaction to fire class Euroclass
A1 without the need for testing.
NOTE 2    European classification for reaction to fire is commonly named "Euroclass".
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 mineral wool does not deteriorate with time. The Euroclass classification of the
product is related to the organic content, which cannot increase with time.
4.2.5.3 Durability of thermal conductivity against ageing/degradation
Thermal conductivity of mineral wool products does not change with time, experience has shown the
fibre structure to be stable and the porosity contains atmospheric air.
4.2.5.4 Durability of thermal resistance against ageing/degradation
Durability of the thermal resistance is covered by the durability of the installed thickness influence by
settlement treated in 4.2.3.
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 need
not be determined and declared by the manufacturer.
4.3.2 Airflow resistivity

sufficient to cover the needed tests.
5.2 Conditioning
No special conditioning of the test specimens is needed unless otherwise specified in the test standards.
In case of dispute, the test specimens shall be stored at (23 ± 2) °C and (50 ± 5) % relative humidity for
at least 6 h prior to testing.
5.3 Testing

5.3.2 Thermal resistance and thermal conductivity
Thermal conductivity shall be determined in accordance with EN 12667 under the following conditions:
— at a mean temperature of (10 ± 0,3) °C;
— after conditioning in accordance with 5.2;
— the test specimen shall be prepared according to Annex C of this standard.
Thermal resistance and thermal conductivity may also be measured at mean temperatures other than
10 °C, if the correlation of the relationship between temperature and thermal properties is documented.
Thermal resistance and thermal conductivity shall be determined directly at a thickness of 100 or
120mm. Determination can be made on other thicknesses of the product providing that:
— the product is of similar chemical and physical characteristics and is produced on the same
production unit;
— it can be demonstrated in accordance with EN 12667 that the thermal conductivity does not vary
more than 2 % over the range of thicknesses where the calculation is applied.
5.3.3 Reaction to fire

EN 15715:2009, then it is advised to have the reaction to fire classification added and identified with
the designation “standardised assembly no. x” after the classification. It is advised to have this
information kept distinct from the CE marking.
The number of the standardized assembly is taken from Table 5 of EN 15715:2009. Reference should be
made to manufacturer's literature (ML) for further information about fire performance.
— designation code as given in Clause 6;
— quantity of material in the package;
— performance chart in the format of Tables 4, 5 or 6, whichever is applicable.
