Scope

This document defines requirements for vacuum insulation panels (VIP), with silica or glass fibre core, which are used as thermal insulation of buildings.

This document outlines required product properties, their performance, test methods and rules for conformity evaluations, identification and labelling. The document further provides a test method to determine ageing factor and the influence of the linear thermal bridges at the edges.

This document is applicable for all types of silica and glass fibre core VIP, independent of the type of envelope. In case of glass fibre core VIP, it is only applicable for VIP with desiccants whose service life is more than or equal to 25 years.

This document does not address any specific installation and application requirements.

This document does not cover products intended to be used for the insulation of building equipment and industrial installations.

Purpose

The proposed standard for Vacuum Insulation Panel (VIP) will progress the application of VIPs in the building-construction industry, and decrease energy use and reduce the carbon footprint of buildings
