Gypsum Based Adhesives for Gypsum Blocks. Definitions, Requirements and Test Methods
Also Known As:
The BS EN 12860:2001 standard lays out the specifications and criteria for gypsum based adhesives used in the assembly of gypsum blocks and other gypsum units. The standard primarily focuses on two performance characteristics, namely reaction to fire and release of dangerous substances, which are evaluated using corresponding European test methods. It also establishes reference tests for technical specifications and provides guidelines for evaluating conformity to the standard.
Additionally, the standard addresses additional technical characteristics that are crucial for the acceptance and use of the product in the construction industry. These characteristics include direct airborne sound insulation, bond strength, and thermal resistance, which is calculated using thermal conductivity values from the specified table.
