Overview
EN 12667:2001 (CEN) defines principles and test procedures for determining the thermal resistance of building materials and products using the guarded hot plate and heat flow meter methods. The standard applies to test specimens having a thermal resistance of not less than 0.5 m²·K/W, covering products of high and medium thermal resistance. EN 12667 is intended for consistent measurement of thermal performance (R-value/thermal resistance) to support product characterization, quality control and regulatory compliance.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope and applicability: Specifies when and for which products the methods are appropriate (high/medium thermal resistance materials).
- Test methods covered: Guarded hot plate and heat flow meter techniques for measuring thermal resistance.
- Specimen handling and preparation: Requirements for sample size, edge treatment and conditioning to ensure representative results.
- Measurement and calculation: Procedures to derive thermal resistance (and related thermal conductivity) from measured heat flux and temperature difference.
- Uncertainty and repeatability: Guidance on measurement precision, repeatability and factors affecting test accuracy.
- Reporting: Standardized content for test reports so results are comparable between laboratories and manufacturers.
- Quality and calibration: Emphasis on calibrated instrumentation and controlled test conditions to maintain reliable thermal performance data.
(Note: EN 12667 specifies principles and procedures; users should consult the full standard for detailed test set-up, instrumentation and reporting clauses.)
Applications
EN 12667 is practical for:
- Manufacturers of thermal insulation (mineral wool, foam boards, natural fiber insulation) to determine and declare R-values.
- Accredited testing laboratories performing standardized thermal performance tests.
- Product certification bodies and regulators assessing compliance with building energy codes and labeling schemes.
- Building engineers, architects and specifiers who need verified thermal resistance data for thermal design, energy modeling and specification writing.
- R&D teams evaluating new insulation materials or product improvements.
Using the standard helps ensure consistent, comparable thermal performance data for thermal insulation and other building materials where R ≥ 0.5 m²·K/W.
Related standards
- Other CEN/ISO standards covering thermal conductivity and alternative test methods for lower-resistance products or in-situ measurements. Consult the CEN catalogue for complementary documents when specifying test scope and reporting.
