This standard is one of a series of standards for thermal insulation products used in buildings, but this
standard may be used in other areas where appropriate.
In pursuance of Resolution BT 20/1993 revised, CEN/TC 88 have proposed defining the standards listed
below as a European package of standards.
The package of standards comprises the following group of interrelated standards for the specifications of
factory made thermal insulation products, all of which come within the scope of CEN/TC 88:
EN 13162, Thermal insulation products for buildings — Factory made mineral wool (MW) products —
Specification
EN 13163, Thermal insulation products for buildings — Factory made expanded polystyrene (EPS) products
— Specification

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
Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece,

demonstrate fitness for purpose in a particular application. The classes and levels required for a given
application are to be found in regulations or non-conflicting standards.
Products with a declared thermal resistance lower than 0,25 m²⋅K/W or a declared thermal conductivity at 10
°C greater than 0,060 W/(m⋅K) are not covered by this standard.
This standard does not cover in-situ insulation products (covered by FprEN 16025-1 and -2), products
intended to be used for the insulation of building equipment and industrial installations (covered by EN 14309),
products intended to be used in civil engineering applications (covered by EN 14933) and products intended
to be used in beam and block systems in floors (covered by EN 15037-4).
