5 % and the relative change in thickness, ∆εd, shall not exceed ± 2 %. The maximum service temperature, ST(+), shall be declared in levels with steps of 10 °C. The rate of increase of temperature shall be 50 °C/h. Pipe sections and prefabricated ware can be sawed or milled from flat boards or blocks. In this case the maximum service temperature should be determined only on flat boards, in accordance with EN 14706.
4.3.3 Minimum service temperature The minimum service temperature, ST(-), shall be declared in levels with steps of 10 °C. The minimum service temperature, ST(-), shall be determined in accordance with Annex B. If a minimum service temperature is declared by the manufacturer, the following physical properties have to be declared at + 20 °C and at the declared minimum service temperature and shall be confirmed by testing in accordance with European test standards: a) thermal conductivity as a function of the temperature; b) coefficient of thermal expansion as a function of the temperature; c) tensile strength and/or compressive strength and Young’s modulus as a function of the temperature. Using these temperature-dependent physical data, the suitability of any specific insulation can be estimated at a given low operational temperature for industrial installations in relation to application-related design features. A low operational temperature can be below the minimum service temperature. Minimum service temperature within the scope of the standard, but above 0 °C need not be tested. At the minimum service temperature, ST(–), the relative changes in length, ∆εl, and width, ∆εb, shall not exceed 2 % and the relative change in thickness, ∆εd, shall not exceed 2 %. The factor ‘f’ as defined in Clause B.9 shall be > 1,5 where required (service temperature < - 150 °C, as reported in Clause B.9) NOTE Factor f qualifies the resistance of the product to cracking due to thermal stress.

5.3.2 Thermal conductivity For flat test specimens, thermal conductivity shall be determined in accordance with EN 12667 or EN 12939 for thick products. For cylindrical test specimens, thermal conductivity shall be determined in accordance with EN ISO 8497. The tests in accordance with EN ISO 8497 may be replaced by tests in accordance with EN 12667 or
EN 12939, provided it has been demonstrated that the results give safe (higher) values. (This means that for PUR/PIR products the measurement of the thermal conductivity shall be performed in the rise direction of the product.) The thermal conductivity shall be determined for the full service temperature range of the product. For factory production control see Annex A. For the construction of the thermal conductivity curve from the minimum to the maximum service temperature, the test sample shall be aged and conditioned in accordance with Annex C. An alternative procedure is to calculate the curve using the information contained in Clause C.4 (fixed increments). Initial measurements at + 10 °C shall be taken for determination of the statistical variation and this statistical variation shall be used over the whole temperature range for the declaration of the thermal conductivity curve. The thermal conductivity shall be determined directly at the measured thickness. If this is not possible, it shall be determined by measurements on other thicknesses of the product providing that:  the product is of similar chemical and physical characteristics and is produced on the same production unit/line;  and it can be demonstrated in accordance with EN 12939 that the thermal conductivity, λ, does not vary more than 2 % over the range of thicknesses where the calculation is applied. 5.3.3 Reaction to Fire The tests shall be carried out in accordance with the rules given in EN 13501-1. Rules for mounting and fixing are given in EN 15715:2009. Annex A of EN 15715:2009 gives tables for product and installation parameters for flat products and pipe insulation products as placed on the market. Installation parameters for standardized assemblies are only given for flat products. 6 Designation code A designation code for the product shall be given by the manufacturer.
