Mechanical Fasteners for Gypsum Plasterboard Systems - Definitions, Requirements and Test Methods
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 14566 standard specifies the characteristics and performance requirements of mechanical fasteners used for fixing gypsum plasterboards in building construction. These fasteners, including nails, screws, and staples, are used to secure the boards to timber or metal frames, allowing for further finishing and decoration of the surface. In addition to fixing the boards, the fasteners can also be used for constructing the framing and connecting substructures and load-bearing components. The stability of the assembly is ensured by these mechanical fasteners.
The standard covers various product performance characteristics such as reaction to fire and flexural strength, which are measured using corresponding European test methods. It also provides guidelines for evaluating the conformity of the products to the standard. There are additional technical characteristics that are important for the acceptance and use of the products in the construction industry, and reference tests are provided for these characteristics.
It is important to note that this standard only applies to nails, screws, and staples used with plasterboard and its associated products mentioned in the standard. Fasteners intended for use with other materials are not covered by this standard.
