Prefabricated gypsum plasterboard panels with a cellular paperboard core - Definitions, requirements and test methods
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 13915 standard specifies the requirements and test methods for prefabricated gypsum plasterboard panels with a cellular paperboard core. These panels are designed for use as lightweight partitions, linings, and encasements in buildings. The standard covers various characteristics such as reaction to fire, water vapor permeability, flexural strength, and thermal resistance, which are to be measured using European test methods.
It is important to note that this standard applies specifically to prefabricated panels that are installed in a way that the core is not exposed. The standard also addresses performance characteristics of systems assembled with these panels, including shear strength, fire resistance, direct airborne sound insulation, acoustic absorption, and air permeability. Testing for these performance characteristics should be conducted using corresponding European test methods, and if necessary, the tests should simulate the actual end-use conditions of the assembled systems.
Additionally, the DIN EN 13915 standard includes technical characteristics that are important for the product's use and acceptance in the building industry. It also covers the assessment and verification of constancy of performance of the panels, ensuring that they consistently meet the specified requirements.
