Thermal insulating products for building equipment and industrial installations. In-situ formed sprayed rigid polyurethane (PUR) and polyisocyanurate foam (PIR) products – Specification for the rigid foam spray system before installation

This European Standard specifies requirements for in-situ formed sprayed rigid polyurethane (PUR) and polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam products for the insulation of building equipment and industrial installations, for example storage vessels, pipes and ducts used for the supply of fuels, oil, other liquids, hot and cold water, air and other gases.
Depending on the type of foam products complying with this standard, they may have service temperature ranges which lie within the limits of ± 200 °C.
This Part 1 of this European Standard is a specification for the rigid foam system before installation.
Part 1 of this European Standard describes the product characteristics and it includes procedures for testing, marking and labelling and the rules for evaluation of conformity.
This European Standard does not specify the required levels of all properties that should be achieved by a product to demonstrate fitness for purpose in a particular end-use application. The required levels are to be found in regulations or non-conflicting standards.
This European Standard does not cover factory made rigid polyurethane or polyisocyanurate foam insulation products or in-situ products intended to be used for the insulation of buildings.
This standard does not specify performance requirements for direct airborne sound insulation and acoustic absorption applications.
NOTE Foam products are either called flexible or rigid. The flexible products are used in upholstery and mattresses and are characterised by their ability to deflect, support and recover to their original thickness continually during their in-use phase. Those that are not flexible are termed rigid and do not possess these flexible characteristics. They are mostly used for thermal insulation purposes and vary widely in their compression strength values. Once the cell structure is crushed in a rigid foam, it does not recover its thickness fully. Some of these rigid foams are very low in density with very low compression strengths and are sometimes described “commercially” as “soft foams” or “semi-rigid” foams. This note has been included to clarify that all foams with such descriptions are covered by this standard’s used of the term rigid foam.
