EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 13820 testing. This European Standard specifies equipment and procedures for determining the organic content of thermal insulation materials.
The method aims to determine the organic content for products that are inorganic, ie products with a low percentage of organic compounds, non-surfaced products or insulating material of a surfaced product.
The organic content is determined as the mass loss of a pre-dried test sample that is heated for a specified time at a specific temperature.
The organic content in thermal insulation materials refers to the percentage of organic substances in the composition of the material. These organic substances may include polymers, resins, binders, foaming agents and other organic compounds used in the manufacture of insulation.
Determining the organic content is essential to evaluate the fire performance and flammability of thermal insulation materials. Building codes often specify limits on the organic content of insulation materials to ensure they meet fire safety standards and reduce the risk of fire spreading.
Compliance with EN 13820 enables manufacturers, testing laboratories and regulatory agencies to accurately assess the organic content of thermal insulation materials. This information is essential to verify the fire safety properties and suitability of these materials for building applications.
