The required levels are to be found in regulations or non-conflicting standards.; This European Standard does not cover factory made rigid polyurethane (PUR) or polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam products or in-situ products intended to be used for the insulation of building equipment and industrial installations.; NOTE Foam products are either called flexible or rigid. The flexible products are used in upholstery and mattresses and are characterised by their ability to deflect, support and recover to their original thickness continually during their in-use phase. Those that are not flexible are termed rigid and do not possess these flexible characteristics. They are mostly used for thermal insulation purposes and vary widely in their compression strength values. Once the cell structure is crushed in a rigid foam, it does not recover its thickness fully. Some of these rigid foams are very low in density with very low compression strengths and are sometimes described "commercially" as "soft foams" or "semi-rigid" foams. This note has been included to clarify that all foams with such descriptions are covered by this standard’s used of the term rigid foam.

Overview

EN 14315-2:2013 is the CEN European Standard specifying requirements for in‑situ formed sprayed rigid polyurethane (PUR) and polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam after installation. It covers installed products applied to walls, ceilings, roofs, suspended ceilings and floors and forms Part 2 of the EN 14315 series. Used together with Part 1 (the foam system specification), Part 2 links product characteristics to the essential requirements of the EU Construction Products Directive and sets out the checks and tests an installer must carry out and declare.

Key Topics

• Scope and applicability
  • Applies only to in‑situ sprayed rigid PU (PUR/PIR) insulation; excludes factory-made panels and insulation for building equipment/industrial installations.
• Declared installed properties
  • Declared installed insulation thickness (d) - measurement procedure (Annex A).
  • Declared installed aged thermal resistance (RD) - based on manufacturer performance charts and procedures (see Clause 5).
  • Declared installed insulation density - assessment methods and test options (Annex B, C); EN 1602 referenced for density determination.
• Installer responsibilities
  • Use a foam system compliant with EN 14315‑1.
  • Inspect building suitability prior to application (Annex D).
  • Carry out foam quality checks, in‑situ measurements and record results.
  • Provide an installer’s declaration documenting thickness, density, RD, and relevant checks (Clause 7 and Annex E form example).
• Installation guidance
  • Practical guidance on substrate preparation, spraying procedure, machine and mixing ratio checks, and protection against UV (Annex E).
• Limitations
  • The standard does not set mandatory performance levels for all properties - required levels come from national regulations or other standards.

Applications

Who uses EN 14315-2:2013 and why:

• Installers and contractors - to perform in‑situ spray applications, carry out required checks, and complete installer declarations.
• Specifiers and architects - to reference installed-product requirements in project specifications.
• Manufacturers and system suppliers - to align system instructions (Part 1) with installed-product obligations.
• Regulators, certifiers and testing labs - to verify compliance with on-site testing, density and thickness measurement protocols.
• Building owners and energy professionals - to understand declared thermal resistance and long‑term thermal performance for energy calculations.

Related Standards

• EN 14315-1:2013 - Specification for the rigid foam spray system before installation (harmonised for CE marking)
• EN 1602 - Determination of apparent density
• EN ISO 9229 - Thermal insulation vocabulary

EN 14315-2:2013 is essential for projects using sprayed rigid PUR/PIR thermal insulation, ensuring on-site practices, measurements and declarations are consistent with EU construction product requirements.

Foreword This document (EN 14315-2:2013) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 88 “Thermal insulating materials and products”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by July 2013, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by July 2013. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This European Standard consists of two parts which form a package. The first part is the harmonised part satisfying the mandate and the CPD and which is the basis for the CE marking covering the products, which are placed on the market. The second part, which is the non-harmonised part, covers the specification for the installed products. Both parts need to be used for the application of the insulation products in the end-use applications covered by EN 14315. Attention is drawn to the need to take into account any complementary member state rules (e.g. installation rules) which together with this Part 2 of this European Standard ensures the fitness for purpose of the installed product. This European Standard is one of a series for mineral wool, expanded clay, expanded perlite, exfoliated vermiculite, polyurethane/polyisocyanurate, cellulose, bound expanded polystyrene and expanded polystyrene in-situ formed insulation products used in buildings, but this standard may be used in other areas where appropriate. The reduction in energy used and emissions produced during the installed life of insulation products exceeds by far the energy used and emissions made during the production and disposal processes. EN 14315, Thermal insulating products for buildings — In-situ formed sprayed rigid polyurethane (PUR) and polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam products, consists of the following parts:  Part 1: Specification for the rigid foam spray system before installation  Part 2: Specification for the installed insulation products (the present document) According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.

1 Scope This European Standard specifies requirements for in-situ formed sprayed rigid polyurethane (PUR) and polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam products when applied to walls, ceilings, roofs, suspended ceilings and floors. This Part 2 of this European Standard is a specification for the installed insulation product. This Part 2 of this European Standard describes, when taken together with Part 1 of EN 14315, the product characteristics that are linked to the essential requirements of the EU Construction Products Directive. It also specifies the checks and tests to be used for the declarations made by the installer of the product. This European Standard does not specify the required levels of all properties to be achieved by a product to demonstrate fitness for purpose in a particular application. The required levels are to be found in regulations or non-conflicting standards. This European Standard does not cover factory made rigid polyurethane (PUR) or polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam products or in-situ products intended to be used for the insulation of building equipment and industrial installations. NOTE Foam products are either called flexible or rigid. The flexible products are used in upholstery and mattresses and are characterised by their ability to deflect, support and recover to their original thickness continually during their in-use phase. Those that are not flexible are termed rigid and do not possess these flexible characteristics. They are mostly used for thermal insulation purposes and vary widely in their compression strength values. Once the cell structure is crushed in a rigid foam, it does not recover its thickness fully. Some of these rigid foams are very low in density with very low compression strengths and are sometimes described “commercially” as “soft foams” or “semi-rigid” foams. This note has been included to clarify that all foams with such descriptions are covered by this standard’s used of the term rigid foam. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.
