This document specifies characteristics of factory-made vacuum insulation panels (VIP) intended to be used for the thermal insulation of buildings.

This document is applicable for all types of factory-made vacuum insulation panels (VIP), independent of the core material (see 3.1.10) or type of envelope (see 3.1.11).

This document is applicable for factory-made vacuum insulation panels (VIP) with or without desiccants (see 3.1.12) and with and without evacuation valve (3.1.14).

The products covered by this document can be used in roofs, walls, ceilings and floors.

This document specifies procedures for assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP) of characteristics of factory-made vacuum insulation panels (VIP).

This document does not cover products:

  1. intended to be used for the thermal insulation of building equipment and industrial installations;

  2. intended to be used for civil engineering works;

  3. intended to be used as perimeter or foundation;

  4. with a thermal resistance R D lower than 0,5 m 2?K/W;

  5. that contain getters ( 3.1.13);

  6. that have protective layers ( 3.1.9).
