Annotation of standard text ČSN EN 16855-1 (142743):

drafting of this European Standard was driven by the necessity to compare the systems placed on the market on the base of the minimum thermal insulation requirements and to establish the average level of energy consumption for a future minimum energy performance standard definition, with reference to the EU policy on increasing energy efficiency of energy related products (Directive 2009/125/EC) in the frame of the EU "20-20-20" targets. It also aims to identify the reference standards for calculation, measurement of insulation properties, to identify the best practice rules for elimination of thermal bridges, assembly techniques and provisions to be taken in order to ensure the best level of insulation and power consumption
