Conclusions
Thermal Insulation KEYMARK Conference 2016

3. What‘s new In the beginning
2001: thermal insulation products for building – series EN 1316x
CEN CERTIFICATION / SDG-5 (SDG-scheme development group)
Timeline: Dec 2001 & revised ⇒ March 2009 / 2010 / Nov all approved by CCB- CEN Certification Board , last time Jan 2015
In the meantime
2011: extension with thermal insulation products for building equipment & industrial installation – series EN 143xy …
VDI-KEYMARK scheme approved in 2011
Actually
2016: one set of rules for all thermal insulation products
Thermal Insulation KEYMARK Conference 2016

4. What‘s new Actually 2016: one set of rules Objectives remain:
voluntary pan-europan scheme
focus on quality & fair competition
confidence & reliability with 3rd party confidence on declared performances
Thermal Insulation KEYMARK Conference 2016

5. What‘s new
“1 set of rules” (SDG-5 & QAC-VDI) “KEYMARK Scheme for Thermal Insulation Products”
approved by KMO (DIN CERTCO) on behalf of CEN (*) KMO – Keymark Management Organisation)
EN Building ⇒ (7)
EN Bld Equipment & Ind. ⇒
= 39 product standards
Thermal Insulation KEYMARK Conference 2016

6. What‘s new Product grouping: Product by Product (Product Certificate)
Property by Property (Group Certificate)
Thermal Insulation KEYMARK Conference 2016

7. What‘s new - Product Grouping
Grouping Product by
Product
horizontal group
Product name
Grouping Property by Property, vertical group per production line /unit (IT) covers nearly the whole production

Conclusions
Thermal Insulation KEYMARK Conference 2016

10. Our priorities and objectives Short versus long term actions?
“going for the 10 targets”
On short term
Enhancement new “1 set of rules” SDG-5 & VDI-KEYMARK
Pan-european product quality acceptance of FPC-actions of 3rd party ⇒ “safeguarding quality & fair competition”
3rd party confidence going beyond CE-marking ACVP ⇒ “safeguarding quality levels”
Enhancing work between registered labs – “safeguarding the lambda-level”
Thermal Insulation KEYMARK Conference 2016

11. Our priorities and objectives Short versus long term actions?
“going for the 10 targets”
On longer term In support of trends – move from: “qualified products” to “acceptable insulated works”
Enhancing common approach on implementation of CPR-performances and link with works.
Supporting mutually 3rd party work within EN-standard related to systems
Capture suitability levels within end use (cf roofs, ventilated cladding, floors, ….)
Guide for new products & new systems within pan-European framework.
Guiding new performances within the pan-European framework (eg sustainability, regulated substances, …)
Referencing towards tomorrow’s EPC – energy performance certificate of buildings
Thermal Insulation KEYMARK Conference 2016

12. Our priorities and objectives Short versus long term actions?
Some examples
CE-notified labs
Who & where?
EC-notified by Member State based on accreditation & ‘knowledge’?
? Nando? EC n°?
KEYMARK - registered labs:
Accredited and notified
Knowledge
Comparitive test campaigns to show compliance
Peer audits
Well balanced over Europe
Thermal Insulation KEYMARK Conference 2016

13. Our priorities and objectives Short versus long term actions?
Some examples
DIN – building envelope
recommended criteria for end-use
How to ensure that criteria meet the declared values?
CE-DOP with limited declarations?
Unclear DOP’s not in line?
Who to discuss with ⇒ 3rd party?
KEYMARK-certificate
website; contact & adresses;
immediate 3rd party contact & involvement possible (arbritage)
Thermal Insulation KEYMARK Conference 2016

14. Our priorities and objectives Short versus long term actions?
Some examples
VDI & AGI-documents
recommended criteria for end-use building equipment
How to ensure that criteria meet the declared values?
CE-DOP with limited declarations?
Unclear DOP’s not in line?
Who to discuss with ⇒ 3rd party?
KEYMARK/VDI-certificate
website; contact & adresses;
immediate 3rd party contact & involvement possible (arbritage)
Thermal Insulation KEYMARK Conference 2016

15. Our priorities and objectives Short versus long term actions?
Some examples
A lot of EU countries have technical approvals on building elements as part of works with indicated classes/criteria for end-use
How to ensure that criteria meet the declared values?
ETA kits >< building elements?
CE-DOP with limited declarations?
Unclear DOP’s not in line?
Who to discuss with ⇒ 3rd party?
Fact: voluntary technical approvals do exist and system tests have been performed.
Pan-European voluntary KEYMARK-certificate to ensure constancy in quality. It’s more than simple complaince, it is an added value!

Working together: What’s in it for everyone?
Conclusions
Thermal Insulation KEYMARK Conference 2016

17. Working together: What’s in it for everyone?
example
Users (investors, specifiers, architects, contractors)
mulitiple guarantee on quality
Manufacturers (FPC-organisation - checks & communication)
Actions within the organisation are ‘harmonised’
Obligatory for CE-marking
Voluntary for other schemes
3rd parties (certifying - auditing & testing)
focus on accuracy & consistency
exchange knowledge & room for improvement & innovation
Thermal Insulation KEYMARK Conference 2016

18. Working together: What’s in it for everyone?
KEYMARK
“product certification”
& “registered labs”
‘being highly selected’
Manufacturers
Customer/Investors
Architects/Specifiers
Contractors/builders
Third parties
CE-marking
as obligatory
‘a must have’
Link to other voluntary schemes
e.g. technical approvals (end-use),
EPD’s, EPC’s, ….

20. Conclusions The Keymark rules
uniform assessment of all thermal insulation products
guarantees a fully assessed product certification
“compasses” product quality
provides workable scheme for manufacturers & 3rd parties
clarifies the EN standards & bridges complexity of declaration to end-use
ensures an added value for the customers
