What is BS EN 12085 - Linear dimensions of thermal insulating products about?
BS EN 12085 is the European standard on thermal insulating products for building applications.
The main aim of BS EN 12085 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. It specifies the characteristics and choice of measuring equipment and the procedure for determining the linear dimensions of test specimens that are taken from thermal insulating products.
The procedures for measuring the dimensions of full-size products are specified in BS EN 822 and BS EN 823.
Who is BS EN 12085 - Linear dimensions of thermal insulating products for?
BS EN 12085 on the linear dimensions of thermal insulation products is relevant to:
- Thermal and sound insulating material manufacturers
- Contractors
- Civil engineers
- Building owners/management
- Quality control and testing personnel
Why should you use BS EN 12085 - Linear dimensions of thermal insulating products?
The linear dimensions of a test specimen are measured using an apparatus giving the required degree of accuracy while installing thermal insulating products in buildings.
In this regard, BS EN 12085 specifies the apparatus requirements to test thermal insulating specimens along with their number, dimensions and conditioning and test procedure.
Thus, if you are a manufacturer of thermal insulating products, complying with BS EN 12085 can help demonstrate the performance and credibility of your product, ensuring that they are fit for purpose.
Ultimately, BS EN 12085 can ensure your products perform with energy efficiency and contribute to minimizing environmental damage.
