Gypsum Board Thermal/Acoustic Insulation Composite Panels - Definitions, Requirements and Test Methods
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 13950 standard is a European standard that specifies the characteristics and performance of composite panels made up of an insulating material laminated to gypsum boards. These panels are primarily used for internal insulation (thermal and/or acoustic) of walls. They are typically attached to solid backgrounds using adhesives or mechanical fixings, with the gypsum board face exposed.
This standard covers several performance characteristics, including reaction to fire, fire resistance, water vapour permeability, flexural strength, impact resistance, direct airborne sound insulation, and thermal resistance. These characteristics are measured according to corresponding European test methods. The standard also includes provisions for the assessment and verification of the products' constancy of performance.
Additionally, the standard encompasses additional technical characteristics that are important for the use and acceptance of the product by the construction industry. It sets out requirements and test methods to ensure that the composite panels meet defined standards for their intended use and perform adequately in terms of fire safety, insulation properties, strength, and durability.
