This British Standard specifies requirements for the performance, materials, design and marking of insulating jackets for use with domestic hot water storage cylinders complying with the dimensional requirements of BS 699 or BS 1566.
This standard is not applicable to insulation for combination vessels complying with BS 3198, rectangular vessels complying with BS 417 : Part 2 and factory insulated cylinders.
The performance test described in this standard is applicable to one size of cylinder jacket only, but provision is made for the claiming of compliance with this standard of cylinder jackets of other sizes.
