What is BS EN 823 - thermal insulation thickness about?
Thermal insulation is one way to reduce energy consumption by preventing heat gain or loss through the building envelope. BS EN 823 is a European Standard that discusses thermal insulating products for building applications. The main aim of the BS EN 823 series is to provide manufacturers with best industry practices to demonstrate the performance of thermal insulation products, such that they are fit for their intended use.
BS EN 823 is applicable to thermal insulating products. BS EN 823 specifies the equipment and procedures for determining the thickness of full-size products.
Who is BS EN 823 - thermal insulation thickness for?
BS EN 823 on thermal insulation thickness is useful for:
- Thermal and sound insulating material manufacturers
- Builders / real estate developers / architects
- Contractors
- Civil / building engineers
- Building owners
- Specifiers and installers
- Quality control and testing personnel
Why should you use BS EN 823 - thermal insulation thickness?
Thermal insulation ensures that there is no loss or gain of heat in a medium. It is used for protection, prevention, comfort, and economy.
BS EN 823 provides guidance on testing insulation thickness with details such as apparatus, test specimens, procedure, calculation, and expression of results, as well as the accuracy of measurement.
As a manufacturer of thermal insulation products, complying with BS EN 823 helps you to demonstrate the performance and credibility of your products, ensuring that they are fit for purpose. As a result, occupants of the structures or building are able to conserve energy and save costs.
