Provides requirements and methods of test for materials that are added to, or incorporated in, opaque envelopes of buildings designed for human occupancy, to provide thermal insulation by moderating the flow of heat through these elements.

This Standard specifies requirements and methods of test for materials that are added to, or incorporated in, opaque envelopes of buildings, to provide thermal insulation by moderating the flow of heat through these envelopes.This Standard does not cover materials for the insulation of equipment, building facilities, windows or other glazings.Specific requirements for individual materials or insulation types are given in Sections 5 to 9 of this Standard and in the following Standards:(a) Rigid cellular polyurethane (RC/PUR)................................AS 1366.1.(b) Rigid cellular polyisocyanurate (RC/PIR)................................AS 1366.2.(c) Rigid cellular polystyrene Moulded (RC/PS-M)......................................AS 1366.3.(d) Rigid cellular polystyrene Extruded (RC/PS-E).....................................AS 1366.4.(e) Urea-formaldehyde foam thermal insulation—In situ set foam .....................AS 4073.The scope of this Standard does not cover equirements for fire performance.
