The document deals with insulation work on production and distribution equipment in industrial buildings and on household installations, e. g. appliances, containers, towers, tanks, steam generators, pipelines, heating plant, ventilation and air-conditioning plant as well as hot and cold water installations. It does not cover insulation work on buildings and other structures, in shipbuilding, vehicle construction and the inspection areas of atomic power stations.*This standard applies to insulation work on industrial installations and building equipment . These are production and distribution systems, for example devices, containers, columns,tanks, steam generators, pipes, heating and cooling, ventilation, air conditioning, cold and hot water systems. If fire protection and/or noise control requirements (German Technical Guidelines for noise reduction, TA Lärm) exist, the relevant standards (see Clause 2) and/or verifications of applicability shall be observed.
