To conform with this document, products shall meet the requirements of 4.2, and the requirements of 4.3 as appropriate. This document gives requirements for two different groups of applications: roof, ceiling and floor insulation; insulation in ground floors. NOTE 1 The difference between the two applications lies in the requirement for water suction height in ground floors, whereas there should be no requirement for water suction height when the products are used for roof, ceiling and floor insulation. One test result on a product property is the average of the measured values on the number of test specimens given in Table 1. 4.2 For all applications 4.2.1 Thermal resistance and thermal conductivity 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 declared thermal values, shall be given as limit values representing at least 90 % of the production determined with a confidence level of 90 %; the declared thermal resistance, RD, shall be calculated from the insulation thickness and the declared thermal conductivity, λD (see NOTE 1); the value of thermal conductivity λ90/90 shall be rounded upwards to the nearest 0,001 W/(m·K) and declared as λD in levels with steps of 0,001 W/(m·K); the value of thermal resistance, RD, shall be rounded downwards to the nearest 0,05 m²·K/W and declared in levels with steps of 0,05 m²·K/W. NOTE 1 The declaration of the installed thermal resistance for loose fill expanded clay LWA is described in prEN 14063-2.
EN 14063-1:2004 (E) 7 NOTE 2 A correlation between thermal conductivity and loose bulk density / particle size distribution, specific to manufacturer and each product can be used for indirect testing (see A.4). 4.2.2 Loose bulk density Loose bulk density shall be measured in accordance with EN 1097-3 and declared by the manufacturer in classes with steps of 5 kg/m3 up to a density of 400 kg/m3 and thereafter with steps of 10 kg/m3 and shall be in the range of ±15 % of the manufacturers declared value. The value shall be expressed in kg/m3. NOTE The dry loose bulk density for expanded clay LWA products will normally be in the range
150 kg/m3 to 800 kg/m3. 4.2.3 Particle size distribution 4.2.3.1 General Particle size distribution shall be measured in accordance with EN 933-1 and shall be declared in % by mass. 4.2.3.2 Aggregate size The pair of sieve sizes between which the main proportion of the particles lies shall designate the size and any undersize or oversize shall comply with 4.2.3.3 and 4.2.3.4. The sieve sizes in mm shall be selected from the specifications in EN 13055-2. NOTE Normally the aggregate size for expanded clay LWA products will be in the range 0 mm to 32 mm. 4.2.3.3 Undersize The content of undersize material shall not exceed 15 % by mass. 4.2.3.4 Oversize The content of oversize material shall not exceed 10 % by mass. 4.2.4 Reaction to fire Reaction to fire classification (Euroclasses) shall be determined in accordance with EN 13501-1.

The product is classified without testing as a class A1 product in accordance with EN 13501-1.
EN 14063-1:2004 (E) 8 4.2.5.3 Durability of thermal resistance against ageing/degradation The thermal conductivity (4.2.1) of the product does not change with time and neither does the insulation thickness since any settlement (4.3.3) is negligible. 4.2.5.4 Durability of compression strength against ageing/degradation The compression strength of expanded clay does not change with time. The product is a clay mineral product burnt to clinkers in a stable structure. 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 Crushing resistance Crushing resistance shall be measured in accordance with EN 13055-1:2002, Annex A, shall be expressed in N/mm2 and if declaration is required, declared by the manufacturer in levels with steps of 0,05 N/mm2 up to 1,0 N/mm2 and thereafter with steps of 0,1 N/mm2. 4.3.3 Settlement Settlement for expanded clay LWA's is negligible and need no measurement. 4.3.4 Water vapour transmission This property is not measured because the open structure of the final product itself offers no substantial resistance to the free movement of water vapour. See EN 12524. 4.3.5 Water suction height Water suction height shall be measured in accordance with EN 1097-10, expressed in mm.

Determination of the declared value of thermal conductivity A.1 Introduction It is the responsibility of the manufacturer to determine the declared value of thermal conductivity. He will have to demonstrate conformity of the product to its declared value. The declared value of thermal conductivity of a product are the expected value of the property during an economically reasonable working life under normal conditions, assessed through measured data at reference conditions. A.2 Input data A.2.1 The manufacturer shall have at least ten test results for thermal conductivity, obtained from internal or external measurements in order to calculate the declared value. A.2.2
Out of the ten test results the manufacturer shall have at least three test results for thermal conductivity, obtained from internal or external direct measurements. The direct thermal conductivity measurements shall be carried out at regular intervals spread over a time period of the last twelve month. If less than three results are available, the time period may be extended, until three test results are reached, but with a maximum of three years within which the product and the production conditions have not changed significantly. A.2.3
If the manufacturer has established a correlation according to A.4 and the direct test results mentioned above comply with the correlation the following procedure can be used to supplement the direct tests under A.2.2. A weighting factor giving the direct test results ten times the weight of the indirect test results shall be used as shown in Annex D. The measurements shall be carried out at regular intervals spread over a time period of the last twelve month. A.2.4
For new products minimum three direct thermal conductivity test results shall be carried out spread over a minimum period of ten days. If these test results comply with an already established correlation, the direct test results may be supplemented by indirect test results from the same period. The declared values shall be calculated according to the method given in A.3 and shall be recalculated at intervals not exceeding three months of production. A.3 Declared values The derivation of the declared value, λD, from the calculated value, λ90/90, shall use the rules given in 4.2.1, which include the rounding conditions.
EN 14063-1:2004 (E) 13 Case where thermal conductivity are declared The declared value, λD, shall be derived from the calculated value, λ90/90, which are determined using the equations A.1 and A.2. λλλsk⋅+=mean90/90 (A.1) 1)(12−−=∑=nsnimeaniλλλ (A.2) Table A.1 — Values for k for one-sided 90 % tolerance interval with a confidence level of 90 % Number of test results k 3 4,26 5 2,74 7 2,33 10 2,07 11 2,01 12 1,97 13 1,93 14 1,90 15 1,87 16 1,84 17 1,82 18 1,80 19 1,78 20 1,77 22 1,74 24 1,71 25 1,70 30 1,66 35 1,62 40 1,60 45 1,58 50 1,56 100 1,47 300 1,39 500 1,36 2 000 1,32 For other numbers of test results use ISO 12491 or linear interpolation. A.4 Indirect test results of thermal conductivity Indirect test results can only be accepted if the manufacturer can demonstrate a correlation between the direct measured thermal conductivity [λ] in the one hand, and loose bulk density [ρ] and particle size [d] in the other hand on the following conditions, which shall all be fulfilled. The correlation may for instance be presented as: λ = A + B·ρ + C·d, where A, B and C is plant dependant constants. 1) The correlation shall be based on test results from a period within which the product and the production conditions have not changed significantly.
EN 14063-1:2004 (E) 14 2) The correlation shall be based on testing of minimum ten samples. 3) The correlation shall be established by regression analysis with a regression coefficient better than 0,9. 4) The correlation shall be updated at least once a year by adding at least one test result in the regression for thermal conductivity, density and particle size. No result shall be used more than once and no result shall be excluded. 5) The correlation can only be used within the measured density range. No extrapolation is allowed. 6) In case the product or production conditions change significantly a new correlation shall be established.

(normative)
Preparation of test specimen for λλλλ-measurement B.1 Sampling Sampling is carried out according to the procedures given in EN 932-1. Sample at least three times the amount of the test specimens. For LWA one of the following ways is normally used: Sampling of packed aggregates, min. 100 L. Sampling from stationary conveyor belts using a sampling frame. Repeat until min. 100 L is sampled in a bag. Sampling at belt and chute discharge points using a sampling box. Repeat until min. 100 L is sampled in a bag. Sampling from stockpiles, see EN 932-1:1996, Annex C. Min. 100 L should be sampled in a bag. B.2 Dividing of samples Divide the samples according to EN 932-2. Divide the bulk sample (samples in the bags) into a test sample that is 5 % to 25 % larger than required for the test specimen. If 2 specimens are required for the λ-measurement 2 test samples of the same size is made. Divide the samples using a riffle box or a rotary sample divider. The rotary sample divider is preferred. B.3 Conditioning of samples Dry the sample at (110 ± 5) °C to constant mass. Protect the sample from moisture pick-up and let it cool down in the laboratory one or two days before measuring of loose bulk density and preparation of test specimens for λ-measurement. In case of dispute, the test specimen shall be stored to constant mass at (23 ± 2) °C and (50 ± 5) % relative humidity after drying at (110 ± 5) °C to constant mass. B.4 Test specimens The dried sample is manually filled in the measuring frame, levelled b
