Thermal insulation products for building equipment and industrial installations - Factory made products of expanded polystyrene (EPS) - Specification
This European Standard specifies the requirements for factory made products of expanded polystyrene which are used for the thermal insulation of building equipment and industrial installations with an operating temperature range of approximately - 180 °C to + 80 °C. Modified expanded polystyrene polymers with a higher temperature resistance are also covered by this standard.
The products are manufactured in the form of faced or unfaced boards, rolls, lags, pipe sections or other prefabricated ware.
This standard describes product characteristics and includes procedures for testing, evaluation of conformity, marking and labelling.
Products covered by this standard are also used in prefabricated thermal insulation systems and composite panels; the performance of systems incorporating these products is not covered.
This standard does not specify the required level or class of a given property that shall be achieved by a product to demonstrate fitness for purpose in a particular application. The classes and levels required for a given application can be found in regulations and invitations to tender.
Products with a declared thermal conductivity greater than 0,060 W/(m·K) at 10 °C are not covered by this standard.
This standard does not cover products for in situ insulation (for loose fill or poured insulation) or products for the insulation of the building structure.

Overview
SIST EN 14309:2010/kFprA1:2012 is a key European standard focused on thermal insulation products made from expanded polystyrene (EPS) for building equipment and industrial installations. Developed by SIST, this specification outlines the requirements for factory-made EPS products designed for use in environments with operating temperatures from approximately -180°C to +80°C. The standard also covers modified EPS polymers with enhanced temperature resistance, ensuring broad applicability across various thermal insulation needs.
EPS insulation covered by this document is produced in different forms, including boards, rolls, lags, pipe sections, and other prefabricated shapes. The standard details product characteristics, performance criteria, and the processes related to testing, evaluation of conformity, marking, and labelling. However, it does not address the specific class or level of any property required for distinct applications; these criteria are defined by other regulations or project specifications.
Key Topics
- Scope and Applicability: Specifies factory-made EPS products for thermal insulation within a defined temperature range in both building equipment and industrial installations.
- Product Forms: Covers faced and unfaced boards, rolls, lags, prefabricated pipe sections, and other EPS ware.
- Product Performance: Lists general requirements such as:
- Thermal conductivity (requiring products to have a declared value of ≤ 0.060 W/(m·K) at 10°C)
- Water absorption and permeability
- Mechanical properties such as compressive strength (for load-bearing applications)
- Resistance to fire and release of dangerous substances
- Testing and Evaluation: Outlines procedures for initial type testing, ongoing conformity assessments, and manufacturer responsibilities.
- Marking and Labelling: Describes how products must be appropriately marked to demonstrate compliance with this European standard.
- Exclusions: The standard does not cover in situ insulation (loose fill or poured EPS) or insulation for structural elements of buildings.
Applications
Factory-made EPS products specified by SIST EN 14309:2010/kFprA1:2012 have a range of practical applications:
- Thermal Insulation for Mechanical Services: Used to insulate piping, ductwork, tanks, and other equipment in HVAC systems, providing energy efficiency and condensation control.
- Industrial Installations: Suitable for thermal protection of process pipelines, vessels, and installations exposed to a wide range of temperatures.
- Prefabricated Insulation Systems: EPS materials are often incorporated into composite panels or modular insulation assemblies for speed and consistency in application.
- Extended Temperature Range Use: Modified EPS products can be used in scenarios demanding higher temperature resistance, increasing their utility in specialized industrial applications.
These EPS insulation products enhance energy efficiency, control thermal losses, and improve the safety of both commercial and industrial facilities.
Related Standards
When considering SIST EN 14309:2010/kFprA1:2012, it is helpful to reference related standards for comprehensive insulation solutions and compliance:
- EN 13172: General framework for evaluation of conformity of thermal insulation products.
- EN 14303: Specification for factory-made mineral wool products for building equipment and industrial installations.
- EN 13162 to EN 13171: Series covering other thermal insulation materials.
- Construction Products Regulation (EU No 305/2011): Defines the legal framework for European construction products, including requirements for the Declaration of Performance (DoP).
- EN 13501-1: Fire classification standards for construction products.
By adhering to SIST EN 14309:2010/kFprA1:2012 and its related standards, manufacturers, specifiers, and contractors ensure the reliability, safety, and regulatory compliance of EPS thermal insulation solutions for equipment and installations.
