Overview
EN 1946-3:1999 (CEN) sets out specific technical criteria for the assessment of laboratories that perform steady‑state heat transfer property measurements using the heat flow meter method. This Part 3 standard complements the common criteria in Part 1 and provides guidance for laboratories measuring thermal performance of building products and components in accordance with prEN 12667 and prEN 12664. It focuses on organization, documentation and the practical inputs needed to demonstrate reliable, repeatable heat flux measurements.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope and applicability: Criteria specific to steady‑state heat transfer measurements by the heat flow meter method for building products and components.
- Laboratory assessment: Requirements that complement EN 1946‑1 (common criteria) to evaluate competence for heat flow meter testing.
- Documentation & manuals: Guidance on the organization and required contents of the equipment manual, ensuring traceable instrument descriptions, configuration and operating limits.
- Calibration & maintenance files: Expectations for calibration records, calibration intervals, traceability to national standards, maintenance logs and corrective actions.
- Measurement procedure document: Requirements for documented measurement procedures (test setup, sample handling, environmental control, data acquisition and reporting) to ensure consistent, reproducible results.
- Reference to prEN 12667 / prEN 12664: Alignment with these product standards for thermal resistance/thermal conductivity testing using heat flow meters.
Practical applications
EN 1946-3:1999 is practical for:
- Test laboratories and research centres seeking accreditation or to demonstrate capability in heat flow meter method testing.
- Manufacturers of insulation and building components verifying product thermal properties for performance claims.
- Certification bodies and notified testing houses assessing laboratory competence for product certification and compliance.
- Energy consultants and building envelope engineers who rely on validated test data for thermal modelling, compliance with energy regulations, and material selection.
- Quality managers implementing calibration and measurement systems that meet recognized European criteria.
