Papers by market

For each market: what its rules ask for, with the official source; the papers we hold for it; the papers we do not hold; and the route to them. Your reviewing authority or importer decides which papers a project needs.

Market texts checked against their sources on 2026-10-23.

European Union

Asked for

Regulation (EU) No 305/2011: a product covered by a harmonised standard, here EN 13162, is placed on the market with a Declaration of Performance and CE marking, and Article 6(5) requires the REACH Article 31 or 33 information to go with the declaration. Each member state's building rules set the level required for a given use.

Sources: single-market-economy.ec.europa.eu, eur-lex.europa.eu

Route
Ask your reviewer which EN 13162 characteristics it needs as declared values. Reaction to fire is declared; any other characteristic needs type determination by an EU notified laboratory before the manufacturer can declare it.
Elements most asked
Cavity walls and double masonry façades; party walls and internal partitions.

Israel

Asked for

Israel's international-standards import database lists SI 751 Part 1, formed mineral wool products for building insulation, as corresponding to EN 13162. The Ministry of Economy and Industry's mandatory standards search engine gives the mandatory clauses, the import group and the route for the full customs tariff number: import groups 2 and 3 usually allow an importer's declaration, while group 1 needs formal approval from SII or another accredited laboratory.

Sources: gov.il, gov.il

Route
Your importer confirms the tariff number, the import group and the current mandatory clauses for the exact build, plain or faced. When the reviewer asks for testing in Israel, we supply specimens cut to the size it states.

Gulf: Saudi Arabia

Asked for

Saudi Technical Regulation for Building Materials, Part 2: Annex 1 maps synthetic rock wool to SASO EN 13162, and Article 6.2 requires a Certificate of Conformity issued under Type 3 by a SASO-approved notified body for products in scope that do not need the Saudi Quality Mark.

Korea

Asked for

KS L 9102, revised in 2026 on the Korean Standards portal, covers artificial mineral fibre insulation for building, industrial and composite panel use. KTR's KS certification verifies that the certified plant keeps producing products that conform to the KS standard; it is not a test report on one batch.

Sources: standard.go.kr, ktr.or.kr

Route
Ask us to confirm with KTR that the certificate is current under the revised standard before you rely on it. The certificate prints a certification date and no expiry date.
