This Part of BS 3958 specifies composition, moisture content, physical and chemical requirements, and sizes for bonded man-made mineral fibre slabs for thermal insulating purposes.
The material is classified into four groups according to its thermal conductivity and temperature range.
Information to be supplied when ordering is given in Appendix A.
This standard is not intended to cover materials used to insulate the fabric of buildings.
