European foreword
This document (EN 16809-1:2019) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 88 “Thermal insulating

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text or by endorsement, at the latest by May 2020, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the
latest by August 2021.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
EN 16809-1, Thermal insulation products for buildings — In situ formed products from loose-fill expanded
polystyrene (EPS) beads and bonded expanded polystyrene beads, consists of two parts which form a package.
The first part (this document), covers the products, which are placed on the market. The second part covers the
specification for the installed products. Both parts need to be used for the application of the insulation product
in the end-use applications covered by EN 16809-2.
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.
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

Determination of the declared values of thermal resistance and thermal
conductivity
A.1 Introduction
It is the responsibility of the manufacturer to determine the declared value of thermal resistance and thermal
conductivity. He will have to demonstrate conformity of the product to its declared value. The declared value of
thermal resistance and thermal conductivity of a product are the expected value of the property during an
economically reasonable working life under normal conditions, assessed through measured data at reference
conditions.
A.2 Input data
The manufacturer shall have at least ten test results for thermal resistance and thermal conductivity, obtained
from external direct or from internal direct measurements in order to calculate the declared values. The direct
thermal resistance and thermal conductivity measurements shall be carried out at regular intervals spread over
a period of the last twelve months. If less than ten direct test results are available, that period may be extended
until ten test results are reached, but with a maximum period of three years, within w

European foreword
This document (prEN 16809-1:2018) 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 requirements of EU Directive(s).
For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA which is an integral part of this document.
prEN 16809, Thermal insulation products for buildings — In situ formed products from loose-fill expanded
polystyrene (EPS) beads and bonded expanded polystyrene beads, consists of two parts which form a package.
The first part (this European Standard), which is the harmonized part satisfying the mandate, the CPD and is
the basis for the CE marking, covers the products, which are placed on the market. The second part, which is the
non-harmonized part, covers the specification for the installed products. Both parts need to be used for the
application of the insulation product in the end-use applications covered by EN 16809-2.
This European Standard is one of a series for mineral wool, expanded clay, expanded perlite, exfoliated
vermiculite, polyurethane/polyisocyanurate, cellulose, bound expanded polystyrene and loose-fill and bonded
EPS beads 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.

1 Scope
This document specifies the requirements for products of loose-filled expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads and
bonded expanded polystyrene beads for in situ installation in masonry cavity walls and frame constructions.
This document is a specification for the insulation products before installation. It describes the product
characteristics and includes procedures for testing, marking and labelling.
This document 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.
NOTE To avoid water penetration in masonry walls special tests adjusted to local climate might be needed.
This document does not cover factory made expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation products or factory made
or in situ products intended to be used for the insulation of building equipment and industrial installations.
2
Products with a declared thermal resistance lower than 0,25 m ·K/W or a declared thermal conductivity
greater than 0,060 W/(m·K) at 10 °C are not covered by this document.
This document does not cover products intended for airborne sound insulation and for acoustic absorption
applications.
