ČSN EN 13163+A1

This European Standard specifies the requirements for factory made expanded polystyrene products, with or without rigid or flexible facings or coatings, which are used for the thermal insulation of buildings. The products are manufactured in the form of boards or rolls or other preformed ware (flat, tapered, tongue and grooves, shiplap, profiled etc.). Products covered by this standard are also used for sound insulation and in prefabricated thermal insulation systems and composite panels; the performance of systems incorporating these products is not covered. This standard describes product characteristics and includes procedures for testing, evaluation of conformity, marking and labelling. The main changes to EN 13163:2008 are: a) better harmonisation between the individual standards of the package (EN 13162 to EN 13171) on definitions, requirements, classes and levels; b) new annex on multi-layered products; c) new annex on voluntary verification of the reaction to fire classification of raw materials; d) changes on some editorial and technical content and addition of information on some specific items such as for EPS dimensional stability, compressibility; e) addition of links to EN 15715, Thermal insulation products - Instructions for mounting and fixing for reaction to fire testing - Factory made products; f) changes to the Annex ZA.
