Thermal conductivity of a material is a basic feature of thermal insulation. The test is conducted using the FOX 314 Lasercomp Inc. device, with a measurement range of 0.01 - 0.2 W/mK. Depending on the type of material, the tests are conducted in accordance with:
EN 12664: 2001 Thermal properties of building materials and products - Determination of thermal resistance using the shielded hotplate and heat flow meter methods - Dry and moist products with medium and low thermal resistance.

The determination of the internal surface temperature in terms of critical surface humidity is determined using calculation (simulation) software in accordance with the standard:
EN ISO 13788:2012 Hygrothermal performance of building components and building elements. Internal surface temperature to avoid critical surface humidity and interstitial condensation. Calculation methods.
