Gypsum plasterboards - Definitions, requirements and test methods
Also Known As:
DIN EN 520 is a standard that provides definitions, requirements, and test methods for gypsum plasterboards. The standard aims to ensure that the plasterboards used in building construction meet certain specifications and performance criteria. It covers various characteristics of the plasterboards, including their reaction to fire, water vapor permeability, flexural strength, impact resistance, and thermal resistance.
The standard also specifies that the plasterboards can be used for primary construction purposes or as a base for further manufacturing operations such as surface decoration or additional plaster application. However, it does not apply to plasterboards that have undergone additional manufacturing processes, such as insulation composite panels or plasterboards with thin lamination.
