General Information
- Abstract
This European Standard specifies the requirements covering the four product types of expanded perlite products Perlite Aggregate (EPA), Coated Perlite (EPC), Hydrophobic Perlite (EPH) and Premixed Perlite (EPM), containing less than 1 % organic material as defined by annex D of prEN 14316-1:2002 for in-situ insulation of roofs, ceilings, walls and floors.
This Part 2 of the standard is a specification for the installed products.
This Part 2 of this standard contains specifies the checks and test procedures to be used for the declaration made by the installer of the product.
This European Standard does not specify the required level 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 include factory made insulation products of formed shapes and boards made with expanded perlite or in-situ products intended to be used for the insulation of building equipment and industrial installations.
This European Standard does not specify performance requirements for airborne sound insulation and for acoustic absorption applications.

Overview
EN 14316-2:2007 is a European Standard developed by CEN that specifies the requirements and test procedures for installed in-situ thermal insulation products formed from expanded perlite (EP). This standard covers four types of expanded perlite insulating products: Perlite Aggregate (EPA), Coated Perlite (EPC), Hydrophobic Perlite (EPH), and Premixed Perlite (EPM), each containing less than 1% organic material. The focus of Part 2 is on specifying the quality and installation verification of these insulation materials once they are applied to building elements such as roofs, ceilings, walls, and floors.
This document forms a crucial part of ensuring building energy performance by verifying that installed insulation meets specified thermal resistance and thickness requirements. EN 14316-2:2007 outlines measurement techniques, installer declarations, and suitability assessments but does not define absolute performance levels, which are given by related regulations or standards.
Key Topics
Scope of Application
- Covers in-situ insulation using expanded perlite products for building thermal insulation applications.
- Excludes factory-made perlite boards and formed shapes or products designed for industrial installations.
- Does not address airborne sound insulation or acoustic absorption properties.
Product Types
- Perlite Aggregate (EPA)
- Coated Perlite (EPC)
- Hydrophobic Perlite (EPH)
- Premixed Perlite (EPM)
Thermal Performance Requirements
- Installed insulation thickness must meet or exceed specified required thickness.
- Declared thermal resistance (RD) is calculated based on installed thickness and declared thermal conductivity (λD).
- Minimum installed thickness values: no individual measurement less than 80% of specified thickness.
Measurement and Verification
- Installer must conduct at least five thickness measurements per 100 m² area using calibrated depth gauges.
- Cavity widths must be measured to ensure full insulation fill before installation.
- Used methods include guides, level marks, and the pin and plate method per EN 823 where disputes arise.
Installer’s Declaration
- Installer provides a formal declaration including:
- Product trade name and designation
- Declared and installed thermal resistance
- Required and installed insulation thickness
- Volume of insulation material used
- Installation date
- Declaration confirms compliance with EN 14316-1 and appropriate installation procedures.
- Installer provides a formal declaration including:
Building and Product Suitability
- Assessment of structural integrity and suitability for loose fill or bonded perlite insulation.
- Consideration of joist systems, attic ventilation, vapor barriers, and service penetrations.
- Product checks to ensure conformity with specified designations.
Applications
EN 14316-2:2007 supports energy-efficient building design by ensuring that in-situ expanded perlite insulation is correctly installed to deliver expected thermal resistance. Applications include:
- Thermal insulation for residential and commercial roofs, ceilings, walls, and floors.
- Retrofitting existing buildings with loose fill or bonded expanded perlite insulation products.
- Compliance verification in construction projects to meet energy performance standards.
- Support for installers and specifiers with a standardized framework for installation quality assurance.
This standard is valuable for architects, engineers, installation contractors, and building inspectors involved in optimizing building thermal performance using environmentally friendly and mineral-based insulation materials.
