What is BS EN 825 - Flatness of thermal insulating products about?
BS EN 825 is a European Standard that discusses thermal insulation products for buildings.
The main aim of the BS EN 825 series is to provide manufacturers with best industry practices to demonstrate the performance of thermal insulation products, such that they are fit for its intended use.
BS EN 825 specifies the equipment and procedures for determining the deviation from flatness for full-size products.
BS EN 825 is applicable to thermal insulating products.
Who is BS EN 825 - Flatness of thermal insulating products for?
BS EN 825 on thermal insulation products is relevant to:
- Thermal and sound insulating material manufacturers
- Contractors
- Civil engineers
- Consultancies for thermal insulation
- Specifiers and installers
- Quality control and testing personnel
Why should you use BS EN 825 - Flatness of thermal insulating products?
The surface flatness of the thermal insulation material should be produced within specified thickness tolerances for adequate thermal conductivity. The suitable flatness of insulation products is a must for effective thermal insulation in order to save energy by minimizing negative effects of heat transfer and/or heat loss. In this regard, BS EN 825 helps measure the maximum distance between the product placed on a flat surface with the convex side uppermost and the flat surface.
BS EN 825 provides best industry guidance on the apparatus requirements to test thermal insulating specimens along with the number of specimens, dimensions, conditioning and test procedure. As a result, you can evaluate whether the products are capable of withstanding deformation caused by temperature changes, such that they play a positive role in functioning of the end-application.
Thus, if you are a manufacturer of thermal insulating products, complying with BS EN 825 can help demonstrate the performance and credibility of your product, ensuring that they are fit for purpose.
Ultimately, BS EN 825 can ensure your products are energy efficient and contribute to minimizing environmental damage.
