Foreword
This document (prEN 15600-1:2006) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 88
“Thermal insulating materials and products”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and
the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive.
For relationship with EU Directive, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this
document.
This standard consists of two parts. The first part, which is the harmonised part satisfying the mandate,
the CPD and is the basis for the CE marking, covers the products, which are placed on the market.
The second part, which is the non-harmonised part, covers the specification for the installed products.
This document contains five annexes:
Annex A (infornormative) - Factory production control
Annex B (normative) - Preparation of test specimens to measure thermal conductivity
Annex C (normative) - Special conditions to be used for the determination of organic content
Annex D (normative) - Determination of maximum service temperature
Annex ZA (informative) - Clauses of this European Standard addressing the provisions of
the EU Construction Products Directive
This European Standard is one of a series for urea formaldehyde foam, loose-fill cellulose products,
expanded perlite and exfoliated vermiculite in-situ formed insulation products used in building
equipment and industrial installations, but this standard may be used in other areas where appropriate.
EN 14317-1 covers the use of exfoliated vermiculite in buildings.

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the requirements for exfoliated vermiculite products which are used
for the thermal insulation of building equipment and industrial installations with an operating
temperature in the range of approximately 0 ºC to +1050 ºC.
NOTE Exfoliated vermiculite products can be used below 0 °C. The manufacturer’s advice should be
obtained regarding the suitability of the product in the intended application below 0°C.
This European Standard specifies the requirements for the three types of exfoliated vermiculite
products Vermiculite Aggregate (EVA), Coated Vermiculite (EVC) and Premixed Vermiculite (EVM),
containing less than 1 % organic material as defined by annex C.
This Part 1 of this standard is a specification for the insulation products before installation.
This Part 1 of this standard describes the product characteristics and includes procedures for testing,
evaluation of conformity, marking and labelling.
This European Standard does not specify the required level of a given property to be achieved by a
product to demonstrate fitness for purpose in a particular application. The levels required for a given
application are to be found in regulations or non-conflicting standards.
This European Standard does not cover factory made insulation products of formed shapes and
boards made with exfoliated vermiculite, and does not cover products intended to be used for the
insulation of buildings.
This European Standard does not specify performance requirements for airborne sound insulation
and for acoustic absorption applications.

4.2.2 Loose bulk density
Loose bulk density shall be determined in accordance with EN 1097-3. However the container should
be filled using a flat bottomed scoop held centrally over the container without touching it, and be no
3
more than 50 mm above the rim. The value shall be expressed as kg/m and declared by the
3
manufacturer in steps of 1 kg/m .
The loose bulk density shall be in the range of ± 15 % of the manufacturer’s declared value.
3 3
NOTE Most exfoliated vermiculite products are in the range 50 kg/m to 180 kg/m .
4.2.3 Particle size
4.2.3.1 Particle size distribution
Particle size distribution shall be determined in accordance with EN 933-1 without washing and
expressed as a percentage by mass, and shall be in accordance with the manufacturer’s declared
limits.
4.2.3.2 Size designation
The particle size shall be designated by two sieve sizes between which the main proportion of the
material lies and any undersize or oversize shall comply with 4.2.3.2 and 4.2.3.3.
The size in mm shall be selected from those specified in EN 13055-2.
NOTE The particle size will normally be in the range 0 to 32 mm.

The content of the undersize shall not exceed 15 % by mass.
4.2.3.4 Oversize
The content of oversize shall not exceed 10 % by mass.
4.2.4 Reaction to fire
This property is not measured since exfoliated vermiculite products described by this standard are
classified without testing as class A1 products.
NOTE 1 The products are classified without testing as class A1 products in accordance with commission
decision 96/603/EC as amended by decision 2000/605/EC.
NOTE 2 Products with an organic content greater than 1 % are outside the scope of this standard.
4.2.5 Durability characteristics
4.2.5.1 General
The appropriate durability characteristics have been considered and are covered in 4.2.5.2, 4.2.5.3
and 4.2.5.4.

4.2.5.3 Durability of thermal resistance against ageing/degradation
The thermal conductivity (4.2.1) of the product does not change with time.
4.2.5.4 Durability of compression strength against ageing/degradation
The compressive strength of exfoliated vermiculite does not change with time. Exfoliated vermiculite is
a stable laminar structure.
4.2.5.5 Durability of thermal resistance against high temperature
The thermal conductivity of exfoliated vermiculite products does not change with time at any specific
temperature within the service temperature range. This is covered by 4.3.2 maximum service
temperature (dimensional stability).
4.3 For specific applications
4.3.1 General
If there is no requirement for a property described in 4.3 for a product in use, then the property does
not need to be determined and declared by the manufacturer.
4.3.2 Maximum service temperature
The maximum service temperature, ST(+), shall be determined in accordance with annex D for loose-
fill products or prEN 14706 for bonded products.
The maximum service temperature, ST(+), shall be declared in °C in levels with steps of 50 °C.
4.3.3 Minimum service temperature
The minimum service temperature, ST(-), is not determined. Exfoliated vermiculite is stable below 0 °C.
4.3.4 Crushing resistance
In load bearing applications the crushing resistance shall be determined in accordance with
2
EN 13055-1 and expressed in N/mm .
NOTE Crushing resistance is a measure of the strength of the material but it does not necessarily relate
directly to load bearing capacity.
4.3.5 Water vapour transmission
This property is not measured because the open structure of the final product itself offers no
resistance to the free movement of water vapour.
NOTE µ, for exfoliated vermiculite may be assumed to be 3.
4.3.6 Trace quantities of water soluble ions and pH-value
Vermiculite is inert and trace quantities of water soluble ions and pH-value are not determined.
4.3.7 Release of dangerous substances
See annex ZA.

Sampling shall be carried out according to EN 932-1 and EN 932-2 using a procedure which gives a
representative sample and avoids sampling bias.

No special conditioning of the sample shall be used unless otherwise specified in the test method
standards. In case of dispute the test samples shall be conditioned to moisture equilibrium at
