7 Modification to 4.3.14, Continuous glowing combustion
Replace the current title with "Propensity to undergo continuous smouldering" and replace the text in
the clause with the following:
"When declared the propensity to undergo continuous smouldering of the wood wool shall be tested
according to EN 16733. The following conditions and parameters shall be considered within the tests:
a) Homogeneous wood wool products:
— the type of wood, binder and additives;
— organic content (in percentage per mass), to be determined by tests according to EN 13820;
— highest density as well as a lowest density (determination of the density shall be in accordance
with EN 1602);
— highest thickness or – greater than 100 mm – highest testable thickness of 100 mm (thickness
to be determined according EN 823);
— The test is intended for naked WW product. Any facings or coatings are removed when
preparing the test specimen;
b) Non-homogeneous products (wood wool composite boards):
— the type of wood, binder and additives;
— any possible combination of wood wool and other possible insulation products;
— highest as well as lowest density of the wood wool layer;
— highest thickness of the wood wool layer;
— organic content (in percentage per mass), to be determined by tests according to EN 13820;
— highest as well as lowest density of the second insulation material in case of combination with
insulation material which may also show propensity to undergo continuous smouldering
(wood fibre, cork);
— with equal or lower density up to a tested density of 115 kg/m³ in case of combination with
mineral wool or if tested density is higher than 115 kg/m³, can be applicable to lower density
if additionally tested with a density of 100 kg/m³ (± 15 %);
— highest density of the second insulation material in case of combination with any other
insulation products which do not show propensity to undergo continuous smouldering;
— highest thickness of the second insulation material in case of combination with insulation
material which may also show propensity to undergo continuous smouldering (wood fibre,
cork, mineral wool); or
— lowest thickness of the second insulation material in case of combination with any other
insulation material which do not show propensity to undergo continuous smouldering.
The tests shall be done on specimens taken from 2-layer-composite boards (with one external wood
wool layer) which also cover 3-layer composite boards (with two external wood wool layer).

EN 13168:2012+A1:2015/prA2:2018 (E)
Only the wood wool layer shall be exposed by the ignition source within the tests.
The tests shall be done without consideration of the intended end-use conditions. If the paragraph 6.2.5
of EN 16733:2016 applies, a permanent contact between the pieces shall be assured.
The results of tests considering the aforementioned parameters in fully are also valid for products:
— of the same type of wood, binder and additives,
— with lower organic content of the wood wool layer,
— with all densities of the wood wool between those evaluated,
— with lower densities in case of mineral wool as second insulation layer or in case of insulation
material which do not show propensity to undergo continuous smouldering,
— with all densities between those evaluated in case of wood fibre or cork as second insulation layer,
— with lower thickness of the wood wool layer as well as of the second insulation layer and also with
higher thickness of the layers when the layer thickness of the tested specimen was of about
100 mm,
— with any facings or coatings or suchlike,
— for any end-use conditions.
If the test according to Clause 11 of EN 16733:2016 has been passed, declare: “the product does not
show propensity for continuous smouldering combustion”. If the test according to Clause 11 of
EN 16733:2016 has been failed, declare: “the product shows propensity for continuous smouldering
combustion”. If the assessment was not possible according to Clause 11 of EN 16733:2016, declare:
“assessment of the propensity for continuous smouldering combustion is not possible”.
If a Designation code is given, the following abbreviations shall be used:
— the product does not show propensity for continuous smouldering combustion: NoS
— the product shows propensity for continuous smouldering combustion: S
— the assessment of the propensity for continuous smouldering combustion is not possible: ANP".
8 Modification to Clause 6, Designation code
Replace the first paragraph with:
"If a designation code is provided, it shall be given as following (including relevant characteristics from
clause 4.3):".
Add the following item to the list:
"

Performance (AVCP)

"7.1 General
In accordance with EN 13172, the compliance of the factory made mineral bonded wood wool with the
requirements of this standard and with the performances declared by the manufacturer in the DoP shall
be demonstrated by:
— determination of the product type (Type testing);
— factory production control by the manufacturer, including product assessment.
The manufacturer shall always retain the overall control and shall have the necessary means to take
responsibility for the conformity of the product with its declared performance(s).
If a manufacturer decides to group his products, it shall be done in accordance with EN 13172.
7.2 Type Testing (TT)
All performances related to characteristics included in this standard shall be determined when the
manufacturer intends to declare the respective performances unless the standard gives provisions for
declaring them without performaning tests. (e.g. use of previously existing data, CWFT and
conventionaly accepted performance). Type testing description is given in Annex B.
7.3 Factory Production Control (FPC)
The manufacturer shall establish, document and maintain an FPC system to ensure that the products
placed on the market comply with the declared performance of the essential characteristics.
The minimum frequencies of tests in the factory production control (FPC) shall be in accordance with
Annex B. When indirect testing is used, the correlation to direct testing shall be established in
accordance with EN 13172.".
