Thermal insulation products for buildings - Factory made reflective insulation products (RI) - Specification
This European Standard specifies the requirements for factory made reflective insulation products, which are used for the thermal insulation of buildings. The products are manufactured in the form of rolls, boards or sheets and are used in conjunction with an air space or spaces and in non load-bearing applications.
It applies to thermal insulation products that derive a proportion of their claimed thermal properties from the presence of one or more reflective or low emissivity surfaces together with any associated airspace(s).
This European Standard describes product characteristics and includes procedures for testing, evaluation of conformity, marking and labelling.
This European Standard does not specify the required level of a given property to be achieved by a product to demonstrate fitness for purpose in a particular application. The levels required for a given application are to be found in regulations or non-conflicting standards.
This European Standard covers the use of products for heat retention in buildings (cold or temperate climate) and an informative annex provides for the provision of further information on the product performance for applications with downwards heat flow.

La présente Norme européenne décrit les caractéristiques des produits et comporte des modes opératoires d’essai, d’évaluation de conformité, de marquage et d’étiquetage.
La présente Norme européenne ne spécifie pas le niveau requis d’une propriété donnée devant être atteint par un produit pour en démontrer l’aptitude à l’emploi dans une application particulière. Les niveaux requis pour une application particulière sont à trouver dans les réglementations ou dans des normes non contradictoires.

Foreword
This document (prEN 16863:2015) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 88 “Thermal
insulating materials and products”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document.
This European Standard is one of a series of standards for thermal insulation products used in buildings but
this European 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.

4.1 General
Product properties shall be assessed in accordance with Clause 5. To comply with this European Standard,
products shall meet the requirements of 4.2, and the requirements of 4.3 as appropriate.
One test result for a product property is the average of the measured values on the number of test specimens

4.2.1 Thermal resistance
Thermal resistance shall be based upon measurements carried out and declared in accordance with
EN 16012, and at reference conditioning 23 °C/50 % RH, as defined in 5.2.
The thermal resistance shall be 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 resistance, R , shall be given as a limit value representing at least 90 % of the
D

D
thickness d whichever is the lesser thickness;

Water vapour transmission properties shall be determined in accordance with EN 12086 (using ‘wet’
conditions), and declared as the water vapour resistance, Z or the diffusion factor μ. All test results for Z or µ

4.2.9 Reaction to fire of the product as placed on the market
Reaction to fire classification of the product, as placed on the market, shall be determined in accordance with
EN 13501-1 and the mounting and fixing rules given in EN 15715.
NOTE 1 This classification is compulsory and always included in the CE marking label.
Detailed information about the test conditions and the field of application of the classification as stated in the

reaction to fire class Euroclass A1 without the need for testing.
4.2.10 Release of dangerous substances
National regulations on dangerous substances may require verification and declaration on release, and
sometimes content, when construction products covered by this European Standard are placed on those
markets.
In the absence of European harmonized test methods, verification and declaration on release/content should
be done taking into account national provisions in the place of use.
