PD CEN/TR 16239:2011 is a technical report that provides detailed rules and recommendations for the installation of fibrous (gypsum) plaster works. It specifically focuses on the installation of fibrous plaster casts as defined in European Standard EN 13815. The report includes instructions and details about construction for three categories of fibrous plaster casts: cpp (allowing regulatory marking CE), cppv (allowing regulatory marking CE), and ipp (either with or without CE marking). The report covers traditional fibrous plaster casts, as well as two specific products: GRG casts and PMGRG casts.

The report defines three ranges of casts based on their principal functions, shapes, and configurations: casts for interior architecture, casts for technical functions, and units. It also provides information on the necessary equipment, accessories, and devices for installing fibrous plaster works. The scope of the report includes both new construction and the refurbishment, restructuring, or conversion of existing buildings. Fibrous plastering work should be capable of having usual finishes applied directly to them, such as paint or wallpaper, subject to the necessary preparatory work.

However, the report does not apply to works consisting of various boards, elements, or casts that are not fibrous (gypsum) plaster casts. It also does not cover fibrous plaster works that are purely decorative in nature and applied directly to wall or ceiling surfaces. These types of works should be carried out in accordance with standard practice. Additionally, the report does not include the regulatory requirements that fibrous plaster works must comply with in certain types of buildings, such as public buildings or high rise buildings.

It should be noted that the report does not address the ability of fibrous plastering works to comply with specific technical requirements, such as fire behavior, noise protection, or energy efficiency. Compliance with these requirements would need to be addressed separately based on the particular building contract.
