EN 12091:2013
(Main)Thermal insulating products for building applications - Determination of freeze-thaw resistance
General Information
- Abstract
This European Standard specifies the equipment and procedures for determining the effect of successive cycling from dry conditions at -20 °C to wet conditions at 20 °C on the mechanical properties and moisture content of the product. It is applicable to thermal insulating products.
It is intended to simulate freeze-thaw effects on thermal insulating products which are frequently exposed to water and low temperature conditions, e.g. inverted roofs and unprotected ground insulation.
This test method is not recommended for all thermal insulating products. If relevant, the product standards will state for which products this standard is applicable.

The revision of this standard contains no major changes, only minor corrections and clarifications of an editorial nature. This European Standard is one of a series of standards which specify test methods for determining dimensions and properties of thermal insulating materials and products. It supports a series of product standards for thermal insulating materials and products which derive from the Council Directive of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to construction products (Directive 89/106/EEC) through the consideration of the essential requirements. This European Standard has been drafted for applications in buildings but it may also be used in other areas where it is relevant. This European test standard is one of the following group of inter-related standards on test methods for determining dimensions and properties of thermal insulation materials and products, all of which fall within the scope of CEN/TC 88: EN 822, Thermal insulating products for building applications — Determination of length and width EN 823, Thermal insulating products for building applications — Determination of thickness EN 824, Thermal insulating products for building applications — Determination of squareness EN 825, Thermal insulating products for building applications — Determination of flatness EN 826, Thermal insulating products for building applications — Determination of compression behaviour EN 1602, Thermal insulating products for building applications — Determination of the apparent density EN 1603, Thermal insulating products for building applications — Determination of dimensional stability under constant normal laboratory conditions (23 °C/50 % relative humidity) EN 1604, Thermal insulating products for building applications — Determination of dimensional stability under specified temperature and humidity conditions EN 1605, Thermal insulating products for building applications — Determination of deformation under specified compressive load and temperature conditions EN 1606, Thermal insulating products for building applications — Determination of compressive creep SIST EN 12091:2013
