Overview

oSIST prEN 14509-2:2021 is a European standard developed by CEN that specifies the requirements for factory-made double skin metal faced insulating panels used in structural applications. This part 2 standard focuses on the fixings and potential use cases related to the stabilization of individual structural elements in buildings. These sandwich panels are designed for installation with longitudinal joints to provide structural integrity for roofs, external walls, partitions, and ceilings within the building envelope.

Key aspects include:

• Structural load-bearing performance
• Fixing methods and mechanical resistance
• Stabilization contributions to steel supporting structures
• Use of various insulating core materials, including polyurethane (PUR/PIR), polystyrene (EPS/XPS), phenolic foam, cellular glass, and mineral wool
• Application to refurbishment and cold store environments

Compliance with general requirements of EN 14509 all panels must meet is pivotal for conformity.

Key Topics

Panel Structure and Materials

• Double skin panels consist of two metal faces with an insulating core bonded either via auto-adhesive or separate adhesive layers.
• Face materials covered: Steel (organic or metallic coated), stainless steel, aluminum alloys, and copper.
• Insulating cores include rigid polyurethane, expanded and extruded polystyrene foam, phenolic foam, mineral wool, and cellular glass-with some materials restricted for stabilization uses.
• Only coated steel faces are used to ensure durability; uncoated steel is excluded.

Structural Applications

• Designed for use in:
  • Roofs (including refurbishment projects)
  • External walls and cladding (including sandwich panels on liner trays)
  • Internal walls, partitions, and ceilings within building envelopes

Fixings and Mechanical Performance

• Fixings refer to the mechanical connections between panels and supporting structures, including visible and hidden fixings.
• The standard defines the mechanical resistance parameters such as yield strength, shear strength, compressive strength, cross-panel tensile strength, and wrinkling strength under different conditions.
• Stabilization parameters (e.g., rotational stiffness, lateral restraint) contributing to the support structure’s stability are specified for structural class II applications per EN 1993-1-3.

Exclusions

• Multi-layered core panels or those with differing materials at the edges that affect mechanical performance.
• Curved or perforated panels.
• Panels with special fastenings like T-supports, threaded rod clamps, and injected joints.
• Panels marketed as part of cold storage or clean room kits.

Applications

oSIST prEN 14509-2:2021 panels are extensively used in modern and refurbishment projects for energy-efficient, durable, and structurally compliant building envelopes. Applications include:

• Industrial roofs and refurbishments where rapid installation and structural integrity are required
• External wall cladding offers enhanced insulation and protection across commercial and residential buildings
• Internal partition walls and ceilings for improved thermal and acoustic performance in controlled environments
• Cold storage facilities benefit from specific insulated panels designed under this standard, excluding kit-based systems

Their versatility in supporting structural loads while contributing to the lateral stability of steel frame elements makes them essential in contemporary building methods focusing on sustainability and energy efficiency.

5 Assessment and verification of constancy of performance - AVCP
5.1 General
The technical details necessary for the implementation of the system of assessment and verification of
constancy of performance comprise provisions with regards to:
— the assessment of the performance of the construction product, which may be carried out on the
basis of testing (including sampling), calculation and tabulated values; and
— the applicable factory production control.
5.2 Assessment of performance
5.2.1 General
When the intention is to declare any performance related to characteristics included in Annex ZA of this
standard this shall be carried out on the basis of testing (including sampling), calculation or tabulated
values, in accordance with Clause 4 'Product Characteristics'.
Assessment previously performed in accordance with the provisions of this standard, may be taken into
account provided that they were made to the same or a more rigorous test method, under the same AVCP
system on the same product or products of similar design, construction and functionality, such that the
results are applicable to the product in question.
For the purposes of assessment, the manufacturer's products may be grouped into families, where it is
considered that the results for one or more characteristics from any one product within the family are
representative for that same characteristics for all products within that same family.
NOTE 1 Products may be grouped in different families for different characteristics.
In addition, the determination of the product type shall be carried out for all characteristics included in
the standard for which the performance declarations are intended:
— on first application of this standard, or
— at the beginning of the production of a new or modified factory-made double skin metal faced
insulating panel (unless a member of the same product family), or
— at the beginning of a new or modified method of production (where the modification may affect the
stated properties); or
— when one or more assessment methods of this European standard changes such as to significantly
reduce the performance of the product against the characteristic(s) covered by those methods;
— repeated for the appropriate characteristic(s), whenever a change occurs in the factory-made double
skin metal faced insulating panel design, in the raw material(s) or in the supplier of the
components, and/or in the method of production (subject to the definition of a family), which
may affect significantly one or more of the characteristics.
Where components are used whose characteristics have already been determined on the basis
of assessment methods of other harmonized technical specifications and those components
bear CE marking in accordance with those harmonized technical specifications, these
characteristics need not to be re-assessed, if the intended use and the assessment methods
correspond and if the same or higher AVCP system applies for these.
5.2.2 Test samples, testing andassessment criteria
