This document specifies a calculation method to determine the thermal transmittance of glass with flat and parallel surfaces.
This document applies to uncoated glass (including glass with structured surfaces, e.g. patterned glass), coated glass and materials not transparent in the far infrared which is the case for soda lime glass products, borosilicate glass, glass ceramic, alkaline earth silicate glass and alumino silicate glass. It applies also to multiple glazing comprising such glasses and/or materials. It does not apply to multiple glazing which include in the gas space sheets or foils that are far infrared transparent.
The procedure specified in this document determines the U value (thermal transmittance) in the central area of glazing.
The edge effects due to the thermal bridge through the spacer of an insulating glass unit or through the window frame are not included. Furthermore, energy transfer due to solar radiation is not taken into account. The effects of Georgian and other bars are excluded from the scope of this document.
NOTE   EN ISO 10077 1:2017 provides a methodology for calculating the overall U value of windows, doors and shutters [1], taking account of the U value calculated for the glass components according to this document.
Also excluded from the calculation methodology are any effects due to gases that absorb infrared radiation in the 5 to 50 µm range.
The primary purpose of this document is product comparison, for which a vertical position of the glazing is specified. In addition, U values are calculated using the same procedure for other purposes, in particular for predicting:
-   heat loss through glass;
-   conduction heat gains in summer;
-   condensation on glass surfaces;
-   the effect of the absorbed solar radiation in determining the solar factor [2].
Reference can be made to [3], [4] and [5] or other European Standards dealing with heat loss calculations for the application of glazing U values determined by this standard.
Reference can be made to [6] for detailed calculations of U values of glazing, including shading devices.
Vacuum Insulating Glass (VIG) is excluded from the scope of this document. For determination of the U value of VIG, please refer to EN 674 or ISO 19916-1.
A procedure for the determination of emissivity is given in EN 12898.
The rules have been made as simple as possible consistent with accuracy.

This document specifies, for anhydrous bituminous binder (cut-back and fluxed bituminous binders), the measurement of the binder aggregate adhesivity and the influence of adhesion agents or interfacial dopes on adhesion characteristics. This is to help designing binder aggregate systems for surface dressing.
This document specifies methods of measurement of:
—   the mechanical adhesion of the binder to the surface of the aggregate;
—   the active adhesivity of the binder to the chippings;
—   the improvement of the mechanical adhesion and active adhesivity by adding an adhesion agent either into the mass of the binder or by spraying the interface between binder and chippings;
—   the wetting temperature of the binder to the aggregate;
—   the variation of adhesivity below the fragility temperature.
The wetting capacity of the binder affects the adhesivity properties. With the presence of water, the wetting capacity of bitumen emulsion is naturally high. Even if mechanical adhesion and active adhesivity test methods are mainly dedicated to anhydrous bituminous binders (cut-back and fluxed bituminous binders), these measurements can also be practiced with bitumen emulsion with a personalized interpretation of the results that depends on the design of the binder aggregate system. For bitumen emulsion, the adhesivity is conventionally measured through the water immersion test (EN 13614).
This test method is applicable to:
—   bituminous binders used for surface dressings (e.g. conventional or polymer modified binders; mainly anhydrous bituminous binders such as cut-back and fluxed bituminous binders and bitumen emulsions);
—   all the following aggregates sizes that can be used for surface dressings:
—   set 1: 2/5 mm, 5/8 mm, 8/11 mm and 11/16 mm; and
—   set 2: 2/4 mm, 2/6 mm, 4/6 mm, 4/8 mm, 6/10 mm, 6/12 mm and 10/14 mm.
This test method does not apply to quality control on site.
NOTE   Further information concerning the purpose of the test can be found in Annex D.

This part of the EN 1366 series specifies a method of test and criteria for the evaluation (including field of direct application rules) of the ability of a penetration seal to maintain the fire resistance of a separating element at the position at which it has been penetrated by a service or services. Penetration seals used to seal gaps around chimneys, air ventilation systems, fire rated ventilation ducts, fire rated service ducts, shafts and smoke extraction ducts as well as combined penetration seals are excluded from this part of the EN 1366 series.
NOTE   EN 15882-5 [6] deals with penetration seals including ducts and dampers.
Supporting constructions are used in this part of the EN 1366 series to represent separating elements such as walls or floors. These simulate the interaction between the test specimen and the separating element into which the sealing system is to be installed in practice.
This part of the EN 1366 series is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 1363 1.
The purpose of a test described in this part of the EN 1366 series is to assess the integrity and insulation performance of the penetration seal, of the penetrating service or services and of the separating element in the surrounding area of the penetration seal.
No information can be implied by the test concerning the influence of the inclusion of such penetrations and penetration seals on the loadbearing capacity of the separating element.
It is assumed that in each case the lintel above a penetration seal in the wall is designed in hot and cold state in a way that it does not apply any additional vertical load on the penetration seal.
It is not the intention of this test to provide quantitative information on the rate of leakage of smoke and/or hot gases or on the transmission or generation of fumes. Such phenomena are only noted in the test report in describing the general behaviour of test specimens during the test.
Tests in accordance with this part of the EN 1366 series are not intended to supply any information on the ability of the penetration seal to withstand stress caused by movements or displacements of the penetrating services.
The risk of spread of fire downwards caused by burning material, which drips e.g. through a pipe downwards to floors below, is at present excluded from this document.
Tests in accordance with this part of the EN 1366 series do not address any risks associated with leakage of dangerous liquids or gases caused by failure of pipes in case of fire.
Tests in accordance with this part of the EN 1366 series of pipe penetration seals for pipes of pneumatic dispatch systems, pressurized air systems, etc. simulate a situation where the systems are shut off in case of fire.
Explanatory notes to this test method are given in Annex H.
All values given without tolerances in this document are nominal ones unless otherwise specified.
All pipe diameters are outside diameters unless otherwise specified.

The purpose of a test described in this part of the EN 1366 series is to assess the integrity and insulation performance of the penetration seal, of the penetrating service or services and of the separating element in the surrounding area of the penetration seal.
No information can be implied by the test concerning the influence of the inclusion of such penetrations and penetration seals on the loadbearing capacity of the separating element.
It is assumed that in each case the lintel above a penetration seal in the wall is designed in hot and cold state in a way that it does not apply any additional vertical load on the penetration seal.
It is not the intention of this test to provide quantitative information on the rate of leakage of smoke and/or hot gases or on the transmission or generation of fumes. Such phenomena are only noted in the test report in describing the general behaviour of test specimens during the test.
Tests in accordance with this part of the EN 1366 series are not intended to supply any information on the ability of the penetration seal to withstand stress caused by movements or displacements of the penetrating services.
The risk of spread of fire downwards caused by burning material, which drips e.g. through a pipe downwards to floors below, is at present excluded from this document.
Tests in accordance with this part of the EN 1366 series do not address any risks associated with leakage of dangerous liquids or gases caused by failure of pipes in case of fire.
Tests in accordance with this part of the EN 1366 series of pipe penetration seals for pipes of pneumatic dispatch systems, pressurized air systems, etc. simulate a situation where the systems are shut off in case of fire.
Explanatory notes to this test method are given in Annex H.
All values given without tolerances in this document are nominal ones unless otherwise specified.
All pipe diameters are outside diameters unless otherwise specified.

This document specifies methods to determine the durability of bondings, prepared by means of adhesive materials (e.g. adhesive tapes and adhesive masses), for the establishment of airtight layers under climatic conditions representative for indoor environments based on test methods with and without ageing.
The methods provided in this document require at least 120 days for aging and are therefore not suitable for a short time evaluation nor can they be applied to in-field testing. This document excludes test methods for external weathering or UV exposure, even though this might occur during the construction phase.
The following typical applications are distinguished:
-   bonding of the overlap of flexible airtightness layers;
-   bonding of flexible airtightness layers to construction products and penetrations;
-   establishment of airtightness layers by means of sheet materials and adhesive tapes.
This document does not apply to test methods for:
-   pre-compressed sealing tapes and sealing profiles which will be mechanically secured;
-   butyl-based adhesive tapes or adhesive masses;
-   sheet joints of wood-based panels or gypsum plasterboards with adhesive masses or filler systems;
-   bondings of bitumen membranes or of bitumen membranes to construction products;
-   bonding of self-adhesive membranes;
-   adhesive masses from reels. Adhesive masses from reels are cured viscoelastic adhesive masses, which are used in the same field of application as adhesive masses.
The tack is not addressed. It does not allow any conclusion on the durability of a bonding.
