Thermal insulating products for building applications - Determination of long-term water absorption by diffusion

This document specifies the equipment and procedures for determining the long-term water absorption of test specimens by diffusion. It is applicable to thermal insulating products. It is intended to simulate the water absorption of products subjected to high relative humidities, approximating to 100 %, on both sides and subjected to a water vapour pressure gradient for a long period of time e.g. inverted roof or unprotected ground insulation.The test is not applicable for all types of thermal insulating products. The relevant product standard should state for which of its products, if any, this test is applicable.

Thermal insulating products for building applications - Determination of long term water absorption by diffusion

Le présent document spécifie l'équipement et les modes opératoires permettant de déterminer l'absorption d'eau à long terme des éprouvettes par diffusion. Il s'applique aux produits isolants thermiques. Il est destiné à simuler l'absorption d'eau de produits soumis à des taux d'humidité relative élevés, proches de 100 % sur chacune des faces ainsi qu'à un gradient de pression de vapeur d'eau pendant une longue durée, par exemple une toiture inversée ou une isolation au contact direct de la terre. L'essai ne s'applique pas à tous les types de produits isolants thermiques. Il convient que la norme produit stipule à quels produits s'applique, le cas échéant, le présent essai. Le présent document vient à l'appui d'une série de normes "produit" relatives aux matériaux et produits isolants thermiques qui découlent de la Directive du Conseil du 21 décembre 1988 relative au rapprochement des dispositions législatives, réglementaires et administratives des États Membres concernant les produits de construction (Directive 89/106/CEE), par la prise en compte des exigences essentielles.

ZOOM ON ... the Requirements department
To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
