19、 no major changes, only minor corrections and clarifications of an editorial nature. This European Standard is one of a series of standards which specify test methods for determining dimensions and properties of thermal insulating materials and products. lt supports a series of product standards for
20、 thermal insulating materials and products which derive from the Council Directive of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to construction products (Directive 89/106/EEC) through the consideration of the essential requ
21、irements. This European Standard has been drafted for applications in building, but it may also be used in other areas where it is relevant.

38、 surface of the test specimen, measured at right angles to the length 3.3 deviation from flatness S maximum distance between the product placed on a flat surface with the convex side uppermost and the flat surface 3.4 normal laboratory conditions (23 2) C and (50 5) % relative humidity DIN EN 1603:2
39、013-05 EN 1603:2013 (E) 6 4 Principle Measure length, width and deviation from flatness of the test specimens at several time intervals under normal laboratory conditions until relative stability has been achieved. Dimensional stability is determined using one or more of the following methods: Metho
40、d A: determination of linear dimensions of full size products; Method B: determination of linear dimensions of products using test specimens with dimensions smaller than those of full size products; Method C: determination of deviation from flatness of full size products. 5 Apparatus Method A: Measu
41、ring equipment as defined in EN 822. Method B: A frame fixed on a flat reference surface with a dial gauge of 0,01 mm accuracy or any device (optical, electrical etc.) which has an accuracy of 0,1 mm/m (see examples in Figure 1 and Figure 2); and either Method B1: Metal plates of at least 20 mm in d
42、iameter (see Figure 1). The actual diameter is to be chosen so that the pressure exerted by the dial gauge is less than 2 kPa; or Method B2: Metal wire (see Figure 2). Method C: Measuring equipment as defined in EN 825. Any test equipment which provides the same result to at least the same accuracy
43、may be used. 6 Test specimens 6.1 Dimensions of test specimens The thickness of the test specimens shall be equal to the original product thickness. Method A: The test specimen shall be the full size product. Method B1: 500 mm 500 mm or, if less than 500 mm 500 mm, as large as possible. In every cas
44、e, it shall be greater than 250 mm 250 mm. Method B2: 250 mm 250 mm. Method C: The test specimen shall be the full size product. 6.2 Number of test specimens When testing full size products, the number of test specimens shall be as specified in the relevant product standard. If measurements are made
45、 on test specimens taken from a full size product, at least three test specimens shall be tested. DIN EN 1603:2013-05 EN 1603:2013 (E) 7 In the absence of a product standard or any other European Technical Specification, the number of test specimens may be agreed between parties.

If test specimens are not the full size products, the length and width directions shall be marked on them. The method of selection of the test specimens
48、shall be as specified in the relevant product standard. In the absence of a product standard or any other European Technical Specification, the method of selection may be agreed between parties. 6.4 Conditioning of test specimens The test specimens shall be conditioned for at least 24 h at (23 2) C
49、and (50 5) % relative humidity. 7 Procedure 7.1 Test conditions Testing shall be carried out at (23 2) C and (50 5) % relative humidity.
