European foreword
This document (prEN 16025-1:2018) 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.
For relationship with EU Regulation(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this
document.
This document consists of two parts which form a package:
— EN 16025-1, Thermal and/or sound insulating products in building construction — Bound EPS
ballastings — Part 1: Requirements for factory premixed EPS dry plaster
— EN 16025-2, Thermal and/or sound insulating products in building construction — Bound EPS
ballastings — Part 2: Processing of the factory premixed EPS dry plaster
The first part is the harmonized part satisfying the mandate and the CPD and is the basis for the CE
marking covering 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 the standard.
This document is one of a series for mineral wool, expanded clay, expanded perlite, exfoliated
vermiculite, polyurethane/polyisocyanurate, cellulose, bound EPS and expanded polystyrene in-situ
formed insulation products used in buildings, but this document 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.
