Fire behaviour: The standard specifies the fire behavior requirements of expanded cork thermal insulation products, including fire resistance, reaction to fire, and smoke emission.
Durability: It specifies the durability requirements of expanded cork thermal insulation products, including resistance to aging, fungi, and insects.
Marking and labelling: The standard specifies the marking and labeling requirements for expanded cork thermal insulation products, including product identification, dimensions, thermal conductivity, and fire behavior.
Requirements of ISO 2219:2010?
ISO 2219 specifies the requirements and test methods for factory-made expanded cork (ICB) thermal insulation products used in building applications. The standard covers the following requirements:
Materials: The standard specifies the types and properties of the materials used in the production of expanded cork thermal insulation products.
Dimensions and tolerances: ISO 2219:2010 specifies the dimensions and tolerances for expanded cork thermal insulation products, including thickness, length, width, and squareness.
Physical and mechanical properties: The standard specifies the physical and mechanical properties of expanded cork thermal insulation products, including thermal conductivity, compressive strength, flexural strength, water absorption, and water vapor permeability. So, These properties are measured using specified test methods.
Fire behaviour: ISO 2219 specifies the fire behavior requirements of expanded cork thermal insulation products, including fire resistance, reaction to fire, and smoke emission. Thus, These requirements are tested using specified test methods.
Durability: The standard specifies the durability requirements of expanded cork thermal insulation products, including resistance to aging, fungi, and insects. Thus, These requirements are tested using specified test methods.
Finally, Marking and labelling: ISO 2219:2010 specifies the marking and labeling requirements for expanded cork thermal insulation products, including product identification, dimensions, thermal conductivity, and fire behavior.
ISO 2219 aims to ensure that factory-made expanded cork thermal insulation products used in building applications meet the necessary quality standards and perform as expected in their intended applications.
Moreover, The standard provides a comprehensive set of requirements and test methods for these products to ensure that they meet the necessary physical, mechanical, fire behavior, and durability properties.
Benefits of this ISO Standard
This standard provides several benefits for manufacturers, designers, builders, and end-users of factory-made expanded cork (ICB) thermal insulation products used in building applications. Therefore, These benefits include:
Quality assurance: By specifying the requirements and test methods for expanded cork thermal insulation products, ISO 2219:2010 provides a framework for manufacturers to ensure that their products meet the necessary quality standards. This, in turn, provides builders and end-users with greater assurance that the products they are using will perform as expected.
Standardization: ISO 2219 provides a common language and set of standards for expanded cork thermal insulation products, making it easier for manufacturers, designers, builders, and end-users to communicate and ensure that they are using the same quality standards.
Performance assurance: The standard specifies the physical, mechanical, fire behavior, and durability properties of expanded cork thermal insulation products, ensuring that they perform as expected in their intended applications. So, This can result in better energy efficiency, lower energy costs, and improved occupant comfort in buildings.
Compliance: By complying with ISO 2219, manufacturers can demonstrate that their expanded cork thermal insulation products meet the necessary quality standards, making it easier to comply with building codes, regulations, and standards.
At last, Innovation: The standard encourages innovation in expanded cork thermal insulation products by specifying the requirements and test methods for new products. Ensuring that they meet the necessary quality standards and perform as expected in their intended applications.
