EN 12430 - Determination of Behaviour Under Point Load

EN 12430 is a European Standard that specifies the equipment and procedures for determining the behaviour of thermal insulating products under a concentrated load. The test measures how a product reacts when a force is applied to a small area of a test specimen at a specified speed, providing information about its mechanical resistance and deformation characteristics.

For more information about this test method, please visit the official DS (Danish Standards) website.
