11、document (CEN/TR 15985:2010) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 88 “Thermal insulating materials and products”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENEL
12、EC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. PD CEN/TR 15985:2010CEN/TR 15985:2010 (E) 4 Introduction EN 13163 contains an option in Annex B, Table B.2 to change the frequency for the reaction to fire test according to EN ISO 11925-2 from once per day to once per w
13、eek. A reduction of the frequency in the FPC is possible according to note to table h of Table B.2, if a certified raw material has been used. Since rules on how to certify EPS raw material are still missing this option could not be chosen yet. That is why the following rules have been developed and
14、 issued by TC 88. These rules may be applied by the raw material suppliers and the involved bodies to certify the raw materials until the following text has been incorporated in the next revision of EN 13163:2008. PD CEN/TR 15985:2010CEN/TR 15985:2010 (E) 5 1 Scope It is essential that EPS products
15、with a reaction to fire performance better than Euroclass F be manufactured from raw materials with a chemical composition, which is under the control of the raw material producer. This Technical Report specifies the conditions allowing reduction of the FPC frequency for testing the reaction to fire
16、 of specimens made from flame retardant EPS raw material. The preconditions are that products are manufactured solely from a specified, certified raw material, within defined density limits, and produced in the way specified by the raw material supplier. The frequency of testing the final product ca
17、n be reduced in accordance with EN 13163:2008, Annex B, Table B.2 footnote to table h. It is essential that the reaction to fire performance of the raw material be labelled according to 9.2 in the certificate from an approved body (see EN 13172:2008, 5.3.3 and Annex A). The certification of the raw
18、material relates only to products for which the reaction to fire Euroclass E according to EN 13501-1 is being claimed. The manufacturer of the EPS boards / products continues to be responsible for the FPC of the EPS boards / products. This Technical Report is in accordance with the general rules of

22、itions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 EPS raw material with flame retardant non-expanded polystyrene beads containing additives such as a flame retardant treatment and a blowing agent 3.2 EPS test specimen EPS foam in a finished form with its final

PD CEN/TR 15985:2010CEN/TR 15985:2010 (E) 6 4 Preparation of samples The raw material supplier shall produce samples of the expanded raw material using all the procedures of the normal production process for EPS. Thickness, density an
24、d exposure to thermal attack shall be measured and reported when making the ignitability test in accordance with EN ISO 11925-2. The specimens shall be cut from samples as described in EN ISO 11925-2. NOTE Since EPS is an isotropic material the direction of the samples is irrelevant. The thickness o
25、f all test specimens shall be 10 mm and 60 mm for ITT. 5 Initial tests Initial type tests shall be carried out on samples as described in Clause 4. Test specimens, in thickness of 10 mm and 60 mm shall be made from the minimum and maximum density of EPS product sample. The tests shall be performed i
26、n accordance with EN ISO 11925-2 with the thermal attack on the edge. 6 Factory Production Control (FPC) for EPS raw material 6.1 General The raw material supplier shall have a factory production control system in place as described in EN 13172 to ensure the quality of production. The continuous FPC
27、 of the raw materials shall be carried out by sampling EPS products produced at densities between 15 kg/m and 20 kg/m. The density of all samples prepared shall be determined in accordance with EN 1602. The tests shall be made and the results recorded in accordance with EN ISO 11925-2 with an exposu
28、re time of 15 s and an observation time of 20 s; edge attack only. All tests results shall fulfil the requirements to meet Euroclass E according to EN 13501-1. 6.2 Testing frequency The tests shall be performed on one set of specimens per batch (or per production day whichever gives the highest freq
29、uency) and per plant and type of polymer at a density between 15 kg/m and 20 kg/m. The thickness of the samples shall be 20 mm. In addition, the minimum and maximum density shall be tested and recorded every 3 months. The thickness of the samples shall be 20 mm. In case EN 13172 specifies applicable
30、 rules, the testing frequency can be reduced in agreement with the notified body if the raw material supplier has demonstrated reliable performance.

31、e Bodies involved are specified in EN 13172:2008, Annex A. 7.2 Test specimens The number of test specimens to obtain one test result is specified in EN 13501-1 and EN ISO 11925-2. The raw material supplier shall send the samples to the approved body. 7.3 Initial test for EPS raw material For the ini
32、tial type test the tests shall be performed by an approved body taking into account the more critical edge flame attack only (not the surface attack). NOTE EN ISO 11925-2 requires both testing with surface and edge flame attack, but for this purpose here only the more critical test is performed. The
33、 specimen thickness shall be 10 mm and 60 mm, for both the minimum and maximum density. These two densities specify the density range for which the certificate is valid. A classification report according to EN 13501-1 from an approved body is required for the initial test only. This test shall be re
34、peated every 5 years. 8 Continuous surveillance of EPS raw material 8.1 Production Plant and polymer samples, at the minimum and maximum density shall be tested by an approved body once per year with a specimen thickness of 20 mm. Different fractions of one production line can be grouped together wi
35、thin the defined density range. 8.2 Factory production control The FPC shall be checked by an approved body once per year.

The validity of the certificate shall be limited to
38、 5 years. The certificate cannot be used directly by the EPS producer, but can be used to reduce the testing frequency in his FPC. The certificate shall contain the following information: Heading: “Certificate of conformity according to EN 13163:2008, Annex E” Certified EPS raw material. “EPS Produc
39、ts made of this raw material (not mixed with other materials) and within a density range from kg/m3to kg/m3will fulfil the requirements of class E according to EN 13501-1” EPS raw material supplier Production plant Product name Issuing date and duration of validity of the certificate “The validity o
40、f the certification of conformity shall be checked once a year by an approved body. If a product no longer complies with the requirements for this certificate, the EPS producer shall be informed immediately by the raw material supplier”. Name, address and identification number of the approved body.

42、e of conformity has been obtained and the corresponding FPC requirements have been met. The initial certificate shall be provided to the EPS producers by the raw material supplier. The validity period of the declaration of the conformity shall be expressed by the declaration on the label. In case of
43、 non-conformity the raw material supplier shall immediately cease to make the conformity declaration. The validity of the certification shall be verified by the approved body at least once a year, with reference to the annual test-reports. An example for this reference is: “Test on samples made from
44、 the raw material demonstrates that products made from the raw material comply with the requirements of EN 13163 for raw material, Euroclass E in accordance with EN 13501-1 (see test reports) and that the certification of conformity has been verified. The next verification is due by (month, year)”.
45、The raw material supplier shall inform the approved body about relevant changes to his FPC and third party control procedure. The raw material supplier shall inform the relevant manufacturers about all changes in this certificate of conformity. 10.2 Labelling On the label of the raw material the fol
46、lowing shall be declared: certified raw material according to Technical Report CEN/TR 15985; products made of this raw material will obtain Euroclass E in accordance with EN 13501-1; raw material supplier; production plant; product name; approved body and number of the certificate.
