EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of EN 13915 testing. This European Standard covers the properties and performance of prefabricated panels made of plasterboard coverings and porous paperboard cores conforming to EN 520, intended for use as a lightweight partition, lining and enclosure for general use in buildings.
This standard covers the following properties: reaction to fire, water vapor permeability, flexural strength (breaking load) and thermal resistance measured according to relevant European test methods.
This standard only covers prefabricated panels installed in such a way that the core is not exposed.
The following performance characteristics are associated with systems assembled with prefabricated panels made of plasterboard coverings and cellular cardboard core:
This standard also covers additional technical specifications that are important for the use and acceptance of the product by the Construction Industry. It enables the evaluation and verification of the constancy of the performance of products.
Where the manufacturer wishes to declare the performance of an installed system, including prefabricated plasterboard panels, in relation to direct airborne sound insulation, the performance of the system shall be determined in accordance with EN ISO 10140-2 or EN ISO 717-1, as the case may be.
When the manufacturer wishes to claim that the intended use of the panels is to contribute to thermal resistance in building construction works (walls, partitions, etc.), he will use the design values of thermal resistance for plasterboards given in EN for the calculation. Thermal conductivity will be determined according to ISO 10456 or EN 12664.
