The standard EN 13163:2012+A2:2016 provides a comprehensive specification for factory made expanded polystyrene (EPS) products specifically tailored for thermal insulation in buildings. This European Standard offers a clear framework concerning the requirements for these products, which can be manufactured in various forms including boards, rolls, and other preformed types, such as flat or tapered shapes. One of the notable strengths of this standard is its thorough coverage of product characteristics, alongside established procedures for testing and evaluating conformity. This ensures that all products adhere to a consistent quality, benefiting manufacturers, builders, and ultimately end-users by providing reliable insulation solutions. The inclusion of detailed marking and labeling requirements contributes to greater transparency and traceability of the products in the market. The specification encompasses a broad range of applications, affirming its relevance not only for thermal insulation but also for sound insulation and prefabricated thermal insulation systems. This versatility underscores the importance of EN 13163 in the construction sector, especially as buildings increasingly focus on energy efficiency and sustainable practices. However, the standard does clarify its limitations by stating which products and applications are not covered. For instance, products with thermal resistance lower than 0.25 m²⋅K/W or thermal conductivity exceeding 0.060 W/(m⋅K) fall outside its scope, as do in-situ insulation products and those utilized in civil engineering. This pointed delineation helps users understand the precise context and limitations of the standard, making it easier for construction professionals to adhere to applicable regulations without confusion. Overall, EN 13163:2012+A2:2016 is an essential standard for anyone involved in thermal insulation within the building industry, offering a robust specification that aligns with modern construction needs. The focus on both performance and applicability makes it a pivotal reference document for ensuring quality and compliance in using expanded polystyrene products.
EN 13163:2012+A2:2016 표준은 건물용 열 절연 제품을 규정하는 유럽 표준으로, 공장에서 제조된 폴리스티렌(EPS) 제품의 사양을 명확히 하고 있습니다. 이 표준의 범위는 건물의 열 절연을 위해 사용되는 경량 보드 또는 롤 형태의 제품을 포함하며, 다양한 형태와 디자인 (평면, 경사진 면, 홈이 있는 형상 등)으로 제조될 수 있음을 강조합니다. 이 표준의 강점은 제품 특성이 세부적으로 설명되어 있으며, 일관된 테스트 및 적합성 평가 절차를 통해 제품의 품질을 보장한다는 점입니다. 또한, 마킹 및 라벨링에 대한 지침을 포함하여 소비자가 제품의 정보를 쉽게 이해할 수 있도록 돕고 있습니다. 이는 건설 산업에서의 투명성 및 신뢰성을 증대시키는 데 큰 기여를 합니다. EN 13163은 사운드 절연에 대한 응용 및 조립식 열 절연 시스템과 복합 패널과 같은 다양한 적용 분야에서 사용할 수 있는 제품 또한 다루고 있습니다. 그러나 이 표준은 특정 응용 프로그램에 필요한 클래스나 수준을 명시하지 않으며, 이는 규정이나 비충돌 표준에서 찾아야 함을 명확히 하고 있습니다. 또한, 이 표준은 열 저항이 0.25 m²⋅K/W 이하이거나 열 전도율이 10 °C에서 0.060 W/(m⋅K) 이상인 제품은 포함하지 않으며, 현장 설치 절연 제품, 건축 장비 및 산업 설치용 제품, 토목 공사용 제품, 바닥의 빔 및 블록 시스템에서 사용하는 제품과 같은 특정 제품군을 카고하지 않는다는 점 역시 명확합니다. 따라서 EN 13163:2012+A2:2016 표준은 건물 열 절연 제품의 제조 및 품질 보증을 위한 중요한 기준을 제공하며, 건축업계에서의 적용 가능성과 도전 과제를 잘 반영하고 있습니다. 이 표준은 지속적으로 발전하는 건축 기술 및 환경 친화적 설계의 필요성을 고려할 때 더욱 그 중요성이 부각되고 있습니다.
Die EN 13163:2012+A2:2016 ist ein maßgebliches Dokument für die Standardisierung von Produkten zur thermischen Dämmung in Gebäuden, die aus expandiertem Polystyrol (EPS) hergestellt werden. Die Norm definiert spezifisch die Anforderungen für fabrikmäßig produzierte EPS-Produkte, die sowohl mit als auch ohne starre oder flexible Beschichtungen erhältlich sind. Diese Standardisierung ist von erheblicher Relevanz, da sie die Grundlage für die Qualität und Zuverlässigkeit von Dämmelementen in der Bauindustrie bildet. Ein herausragendes Merkmal dieser Norm ist ihr umfassender Anwendungsbereich. Die EN 13163 ist nicht nur auf die thermische Isolierung beschränkt, sondern bezieht auch Produkte ein, die zur Schalldämmung genutzt werden sowie in vorgefertigten Wärmedämmungssystemen und Verbundplatten zum Einsatz kommen. Dies zeigt die Vielseitigkeit der EPS Produkte und deren Bedeutung in unterschiedlichen Baukontexten. Zu den Stärken der Norm gehört die explizite Beschreibung der Produkteigenschaften und die klaren Vorgaben für Testverfahren, Konformitätsbewertung, Kennzeichnung und Etikettierung. Dadurch erhalten Hersteller und Anwender eine klare Anleitung zur Qualitätssicherung sowie zu den Anforderungen, die erfüllt werden müssen, um die Eignung der Produkte für spezifische Anwendungen zu gewährleisten. Es ist auch wichtig zu betonen, dass die Norm nicht den geforderten Standard oder das Niveau bestimmter Eigenschaften definiert, die für bestimmte Anwendungen erreicht werden sollten. Dies ermöglicht es den Anwendern, die relevanten Klassen und Niveaus in den geltenden Vorschriften oder nicht widersprüchlichen Standards zu finden, was die Flexibilität in der Anwendung erhöht. Ein weiterer bedeutender Punkt dieser Norm ist der Ausschluss von bestimmten Produkttypen, wie z.B. in-situ Dämmprodukten, Produkten für die Dämmung von Bautechnik und industriellen Installationen sowie Produkten, die im Bauingenieurwesen eingesetzt werden. Diese klare Abgrenzung trägt zur Vermeidung von Verwirrung bei der Anwendung der Norm und zur Sicherstellung der Qualität bei den zugelassenen Produkten bei. Insgesamt stellt die EN 13163:2012+A2:2016 einen entscheidenden Schritt in der Standardisierung von EPS-Dämmprodukten dar und liefert ein wertvolles Instrument für Hersteller und Planer in der Bauindustrie zur Gewährleistung hoher Isoliereffizienz und -qualität. Die Relevanz dieser Norm wird in einem sich ständig weiterentwickelnden Bauumfeld, das zunehmend auf energieeffiziente Lösungen angewiesen ist, deutlich.
EN 13163:2012+A2:2016は、建物のための工場製造された発泡ポリスチレン（EPS）製品に関する欧州標準であり、建物の熱絶縁に使用される製品の要件を明確に定義しています。この標準の範囲は、リジッドまたはフレキシブルの表面またはコーティングを持つ、または持たない発泡ポリスチレン製品を含み、ボードやロール、その他の成形品として製造されるものです。 この標準の強みは、製品の特性について詳細な説明があり、試験、適合性評価、マーク付け、ラベリングの手順が含まれている点にあります。このような明確なガイドラインは、メーカーが品質を確保し、消費者が安全で信頼性の高い製品を選ぶための基準となります。また、標準は音の絶縁にも対応し、プレファブの熱絶縁システムや複合パネルにおいても使用されることから、その関連性は非常に高いと言えます。 ただし、この標準は、製品が特定のアプリケーションにおいて適合性を示すために達成すべき特定のクラスやレベルを規定していません。必要なクラスやレベルは、他の規制や矛盾しない標準で確認する必要があります。さらに、熱抵抗が0.25 m²⋅K/W未満や、10 °Cにおける熱伝導率が0.060 W/(m⋅K)以上の製品は、この標準の適用外である点も留意が必要です。 このように、EN 13163:2012+A2:2016は、熱絶縁製品の品質基準を提供するものであり、建築分野における重要な役割を果たしていますが、特定の適用分野については他の標準に依存する必要があります。
La norme EN 13163:2012+A2:2016 constitue un document essentiel pour la spécification des produits en polystyrène expansé (EPS) fabriqués en usine, utilisés principalement pour l'isolation thermique des bâtiments. Son champ d'application est clairement défini, englobant les produits fabriqués sous forme de panneaux ou de rouleaux, ainsi que d'autres formes préformées telles que plates, effilées ou à rainures et languettes. L'un des points forts de cette norme est qu'elle établit des exigences précises concernant les caractéristiques des produits, tout en incluant des procédures de test, d'évaluation de conformité, de marquage et d'étiquetage. Cela assure une transparence dans le choix des matériaux pour les professionnels du bâtiment, renforçant la confiance dans les produits qu'ils utilisent pour l'isolation thermique et acoustique. En ce qui concerne la pertinence de la norme, elle répond aux besoins croissants en matière d'efficacité énergétique dans la construction, une préoccupation majeure dans le contexte actuel des normes environnementales. L'accent mis sur l'isolation thermique rend également les produits conformes à des régulations qui favorisent la durabilité et la réduction des impacts environnementaux. Cependant, il est important de noter que cette norme ne spécifie pas le niveau de performance attendu pour une application donnée, réservant cette information aux réglementations ou normes non conflictuelles. De plus, des exceptions notables existent, tels que les produits d'isolation en place et ceux destinés à des applications spécifiques en ingénierie civile. En somme, la norme EN 13163:2012+A2:2016 apparaît comme un document fondamental pour quiconque s'occupe de l'isolation thermique des bâtiments, apportant une clarté et une uniformité essentielles dans un secteur en constante évolution.
