Abstract

Specifies material requirements for extruded rigid cellular polystyrene (RC/PS-E) used in sheets, boards, blocks and cut shapes for thermal insulation. Lists minimum properties and test methods for quality control and material specification.

RECONFIRMATION NOTICE
Major stakeholders of this publication have reviewed the content of this publication and in accordance with Standards Australia procedures for reconfirmation, it has been determined that the publication is still valid and does not require change.
Certain documents referenced in the publication may have been amended since the original date of publication. Users are advised to ensure that they are using the latest versions of such documents as appropriate, unless advised otherwise in this Reconfirmation Notice.
Approved for reconfirmation in accordance with Standards Australia procedures for reconfirmation on 29 August 2018.

Scope

This Standard specifies requirements for extruded rigid cellular polystyrene (RC/PS-E) in the form of sheets or boards, blocks and cut shapes for thermal insulation. These requirements are intended for use in quality control and material specification, and are not necessarily applicable for end use design requirements.

NOTE: Advisory information on the determination of compliance of a lot is given in Appendix A. Guidance to purchasers on recommended applications of extruded rigid cellular polystyrene (RC/PS-E) is given in Appendix B.
