In the north there are many providers, be it Viebrockhaus, Elma or all those we have spoken with. This does not mean that it is DIN-compliant (according to 1053) but at least common practice.
An article states:
"Core insulation in cavity walls In fact, there are also approval certificates from the Institute for Building Technology, Berlin, for certain thermal insulations (e.g. mineral fiber insulation boards), according to which these may be used as core insulation to completely fill the cavity of cavity walls for exterior walls. According to the approval certificates, the insulation materials may be used as a thermal insulation layer for cavity walls with an air gap according to DIN 1053 part 1, edition November 1974, section 5.2.1. Contrary to section 5.2.1 of this standard, the insulation materials may be installed without a continuous air gap. The Institute for Building Technology, Berlin, grants a general building supervisory/building law approval for the corresponding construction type with the certificate" (Source: Lawyer Erich J. Groß and Construction Engineer Dieter Riensberg, Kiel: reprinted in BauR 1986, p. 533 ff)
The article also states that the construction still violates DIN 1053. If you are really interested, read the article – it is very insightful (even though it is already 30 years old).
