Gypsum blocks - Definitions, requirements and test methods

This European Standard specifies the characteristics and performance of gypsum blocks with smooth faces for which the main intended uses are construction of non-load bearing partitions or independent wall linings and the fire protection of columns, lift shafts, etc. The gypsum blocks are not used to build ceilings.
It covers the following performance characteristics related to the essential requirements :
- reaction to fire ;
- resistance to fire ;
- direct airborne sound insulation ;
- release of dangerous substances ;
to be measured according to the corresponding european test methods, as well as :
- thermal resistance
to be calculated from the thermal conductivity values given in 4.3.2.
It describes the reference tests for technical specifications.
This European Standard covers also additional technical characteristics that are of importance for the use and acceptance of the product by the construction industry ;
- convenience class for density ;
- convenience class for pH ;
- surface hardness.
It provides for the evaluation of conformity of the product to this European Standard.

Gypsum board products from reprocessing - Definitions, requirements and test methods
SIST EN 14190:2014

This European Standard specifies the characteristics and performance of products which have been produced by reprocessing gypsum boards manufactured according to EN 520, EN 15283 1 and EN 15283 2. Reprocessing may include cutting, perforating, edge profiling, decorating and laminating membranes of other materials for functional or decorative purposes, attaching fixings including supports e.g. for partitions. Examples of reprocessing operations are given in Annex B.
The products are intended for use in wall, ceiling and floor applications, where they may be fixed directly to the background, or they are used in systems assembled in conjunction with the structure to form separate or suspended linings. The products can be customized to fit the intended application offering a wide range of aesthetic, functional and decorative solutions of modular or non-modular design.
This European Standard does not cover gypsum board thermal/acoustic insulation composite panels according to EN 13950 and prefabricated gypsum board panels with a cellular paperboard core according to EN 13915.
