EN 13167: Thermal insulation products for buildings – Factory made cellular glass (CG) products - Specification

Standard: Thermal insulation products for buildings – Factory made cellular glass (CG) products - Specification

Certification: CE Marking

Factory made cellular glass (CG) products should meet the requirements as described in the standard EN 13167, which is a harmonized standard under the Construction Products Regulation (EU) 305/2011.

Scope: This European Standard specifies the requirements for factory made cellular glass (CG) products, with or without facings or coatings, which are used for the thermal insulation of buildings. The products are manufactured in the form of boards or slabs.

Products covered by this standard are also used in prefabricated thermal insulation systems and composite panels; the performance of systems incorporating these products is not covered. CG multi-layered insulation products are made from two or more layers of CG thermal insulation material, which are bonded together either horizontally and/or vertically. Bonding includes physical adhesion. The product may be faced or coated.

This 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.

Products with a declared thermal resistance lower than 0,50 m²⋅K/W or a declared thermal conductivity

greater than 0,065 W/(m⋅K) at 10 °C are not covered by this standard.

This standard does not cover in situ insulation products and products intended to be used for the insulation of building equipment and industrial installations (covered by EN 14305).
