scope:

This Japanese Industrial Standard specifies the thermal insulation materials mainly used for dwellings or buildings at the ordinary temperature (hereafter referred to as "thermal insulation materials"). In this Standard, the cellular plastics thermal insulation materials in which fluorocarbons1) are not used as a foaming agent are included in the scope.

This Standard is not applicable to the thermal insulation materials used under the condition at particular temperature and humidity such as a cold-storage warehouse, and the heat insulation materials used for facility equipment, piping, etc. for dwellings or buildings.

Note 1)Fluorocarbons refer to chlorofluorocarbon (CFC), hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) and hydrofluorocarbon (HFC), but do not include hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) which is represented by HFO-1233zd and HFO-1336mzz.
