General Information

Abstract

This European Standard specifies requirements for in-situ formed dispensed 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 14319, 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 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 14319-2:2013 is the CEN European Standard that specifies requirements for in‑situ formed dispensed rigid polyurethane (PUR) and polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam as installed thermal insulation for building equipment and industrial installations. It covers installation, on‑site checks and the declarations the installer must provide for applications such as storage vessels, pipes and ducts conveying fuels, oils, liquids, hot and cold water, air and other gases. Together with EN 14319‑1:2013 (the product/system specification), Part 2 links product characteristics to the essential requirements of the EU Construction Products Directive for installed insulation products.

Key topics and requirements

  • Scope & exclusions: Applies to in‑situ dispensed rigid PUR/PIR used for technical building equipment and industrial plant. Does not cover factory‑made rigid foam products, in‑situ products for building envelope insulation, or direct airborne sound/acoustic applications.
  • System compliance: Installer must use a foam system that complies with EN 14319‑1 (the dispensed foam system specification).
  • Suitability checks: Site inspection and suitability assessment of the equipment or installation are required (see Annex B).
  • Declared installed thickness (d): Measurement procedure for the installed insulation thickness is specified (Annex A); installer must ensure installed thickness is not less than client or manufacturer minimums.
  • Declared installed aged thermal resistance (RD): RD is declared based on the manufacturer’s thermal conductivity vs temperature data (λ vs T) and relevant procedures in EN 14319‑1; moisture and temperature corrections can use EN ISO 10456 where applicable.
  • On‑site foam quality checks: Installer performs manufacturer‑defined site checks and generates test samples per EN 14319‑1 (e.g., Annex G) and any national rules.
  • Installation guidance: Annex C provides dispensing and installation guidelines; national regulations or manufacturer technical information may define additional requirements (mixing ratio, dispensing conditions).
  • Installer declaration: The installer must provide a declaration to the customer including date, declared thickness, declared RD, product trade name/designation code, and EC certificate number.

Practical applications and users

Who uses EN 14319‑2:2013:

  • Insulation installers and applicators of in‑situ PUR/PIR foam
  • Specifiers, design and project engineers for industrial plant and technical building services
  • Facility managers, energy auditors and asset owners seeking compliance and declared thermal performance
  • Manufacturers and conformity assessors working with the harmonised Part 1 for CE marking

Typical applications:

  • Thermal insulation of process pipes, ducts, storage vessels, fuel/oil lines, HVAC distribution in industrial and commercial settings, where service temperatures may range (depending on product) up to ±200 °C.

Related standards

  • EN 14319‑1:2013 (rigid foam dispensed system - harmonised/product part)
  • EN ISO 9229 (thermal insulation vocabulary)
  • EN ISO 10456 (moisture/temperature correction)
  • EN ISO 6946 (thermal resistance calculation methods)
