(Main)Thermal insulating products for building equipment and industrial installations - In-situ formed sprayed rigid polyurethane (PUR) and polyisocyanurate foam (PIR) products - Part 2: Specification for the installed insulation products
General Information
- Abstract
This European Standard specifies requirements for in-situ formed sprayed rigid polyurethane (PUR) and polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam products for the insulation of building equipment industrial installations, for example storage vessels, pipes and ducts used for the supply of fuels, oil, other liquids, hot and cold water, air and other gases.
Depending on the type of foam products complying with this standard, they may have service temperature ranges which lie within the limits of ± 200 °C.
This Part 2 of this European Standard is a specification for the installed insulation product.
This Part 2 of this European Standard describes, when taken together with Part 1 of EN 14320, the product characteristics that are linked to the essential requirements of the EU Construction Products Directive. It also specifies the checks and tests to be used for the declarations made by the installer of the product.
This European Standard does not specify the required levels of all properties to be achieved by a product to demonstrate fitness for purpose in a particular end-use application. The required levels are to be found in regulations or non-conflicting standards.
This European Standard does not cover factory made rigid polyurethane (PUR) or polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam products or in-situ products intended to be used for the insulation of buildings.
The products are not intended for use for direct airborne sound insulation or acoustic absorption applications.
NOTE Foam products are either called flexible or rigid. The flexible products are used in upholstery and mattresses and are characterised by their ability to deflect, support and recover to their original thickness continually during their in-use phase. Those that are not flexible are termed rigid and do not possess these flexible characteristics. They are mostly used for thermal insulation purposes and vary widely in their compression strength values. Once the cell structure is crushed in a rigid foam, it does not recover its thickness fully. Some of these rigid foams are very low in density with very low compression strengths and are sometimes described "commercially" as "soft foams" or "semi-rigid" foams. This note has been included to clarify that all foams with such descriptions are covered by this standard’s used of the term rigid foam.

Overview
EN 14320-2:2013 is the CEN standard that specifies requirements for in‑situ formed sprayed rigid polyurethane (PUR) and polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam when used as installed thermal insulation for building equipment and industrial installations (for example storage vessels, pipes and ducts). Part 2 is the specification for the installed insulation product and must be used together with EN 14320-1 (the product/dispensed system specification). The standard also defines the checks and tests an installer must perform when declaring installed product characteristics.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and limits
- Applies to in‑situ sprayed rigid PUR/PIR foams for building services and industrial installations; not for factory‑made boards or in‑situ products intended for general building thermal insulation.
- Service temperature ranges of complying foams can lie within ±200 °C, depending on product type.
- Declared installed parameters
- Declared installed insulation thickness - installer measurement and reporting requirements.
- Declared installed aged thermal resistance (RD) - time‑average thermal resistance declared over 25 years.
- Declared installed insulation density - representative overall density for the installed product.
- Installer responsibilities
- Use a foam system compliant with EN 14320‑1.
- Inspect substrate and verify the suitability of the equipment or installation prior to spraying.
- Carry out foam quality checks and required tests to support installer declarations.
- Provide an installer’s declaration documenting measured/declared values.
- Tests and methods (annexes)
- Methods for determining thickness and density (including destructive and non‑destructive tests).
- Immersion method for density determination.
- Detailed installation guidelines, substrate and atmospheric conditions, spraying procedures, machine/mixing ratio checks.
- Site survey and suitability assessment guidance.
Applications and who uses this standard
- Practical applications:
- Thermal insulation of pipes, ducts, storage vessels, tanks and other building service or industrial installations carrying liquids, gases, hot or cold media.
- Situations requiring in‑place sprayed rigid foam where factory‑made products are unsuitable.
- Primary users:
- Insulation installers and contractors performing on‑site spray applications.
- Specifiers, facility managers and engineers assessing installed insulation performance.
- Compliance teams documenting CE/CPD related declarations and meeting national installation rules.
- Test labs and auditors verifying installer declarations.
Related standards
- EN 14320-1 - specification for the rigid foam dispensed system before installation (must be used together with Part 2).
- EN 1602 - determination of apparent density (referenced normative method).
- EN ISO 9229 - thermal insulation vocabulary (definitions used).
EN 14320-2:2013 helps ensure installed PUR/PIR spray foam achieves declared thermal performance and provides a structured checklist of measurements, test methods and installer obligations for reliable in‑situ insulation in building equipment and industrial installations.
