Abstract

The data obtained in interlaboratory comparison testing programme EA ILC MT2 devoted for testing compression behaviour of mineral wool slabs is discussed in this article. Fifteen laboratories from 11 European countries took part in this PT programme. The satisfactory fulfilling of tests by all laboratories excluding two was confirmed by statistical evaluation of test results. It is revealed the main causes of the test results scattering as well as the expedience to reconsider the Standard, which specifies the procedures for determining compression behaviour of thermal insulating materials.
