Le présent document spécifie l'équipement et les procédures à suivre pour déterminer l'absorption d'eau à court terme par immersion partielle de coquilles isolantes préformées. Il s'applique aux produits isolants thermiques. Il est destiné à simuler l'absorption d'eau causée par l'exposition à la pluie pendant 24 h, lors de la mise en oeuvre du produit. Si la coquille isolante est découpée dans un produit plat, l'absorption d'eau à court terme par immersion partielle peut être déterminée à partir d'essais effectués selon l'EN 1609 sur le produit plat possédant des propriétés semblables, à condition que l'essai soit effectué dans le sens donnant l'absorption d'eau la plus élevée.
