Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www .iso .org/
iso/ foreword .html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 163, Thermal performance and energy
use in the built environment, in collaboration with the European Committee for Standardization (CEN)
Technical Committee CEN/TC 88, Thermal insulating materials and products, in accordance with the
Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 9229:2007), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— revised ETICS definition;
— thorough review of cross-references with numerous new additions and corrections;
— double term entries have been either given their own terminology entries or identified as preferred
and accepted terms;
— circular definitions have been corrected;
— pipe section superordinate concept changed as parent term and subordinate terms expanded to
1) concentric pipe section, 2) precision v-groove pipe section, 3) cut pipe section, 4) moulded pipe
section;
— vapour barrier and vapour retarder definitions have been revised and clarified.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A
complete listing of these bodies can be found at www .iso .org/ members .html.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any
patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on
the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the World
Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see
www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee [or Project Committee] ISO/TC 163, “Thermal
performance and energy use in the built environment”.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 9229:2007), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— Incoporation of the majority of comments received though the CD ballot
— Alignment of some of the definitions to EN 14303 and ISO 52000
A list of all parts in the ISO ##### series can be found on the ISO website.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A
complete listing of these bodies can be found at www.iso.org/members.html.

Thermal insulation - Vocabulary
1. Scope
This International Standard establishes a vocabulary of terms used in the field of thermal insulation covering
materials, products, components and applications. Some of the terms may have a different meaning when used
in other industries or applications.
NOTE - In addition to terms used in English and French, two of the three official ISO languages (English, French and
Russian), this document gives the equivalent terms in German; these are published under the responsibility of the member
body for Germany (DIN), and are given for information only. Only the terms and definitions given in the official languages
can be considered as ISO terms and definitions.
