Prefabricated gypsum plasterboard panels tested according to EN 13823 (SBI test) shall be mounted and fixed in accordance with Annex B or when the producer wishes to claim performance for a specific intended use, the mounting and fixing shall be representative of that intended use. Prefabricated gypsum plasterboard panels tested according to EN ISO 11925-2 (Ignitability) shall be tested with surface attack only due to the fact that edge attack cannot occur in end use conditions. 4.1.2 Fire resistance NOTE Resistance to fire is a characteristic dependent on an assembled system and not of the product in isolation. When required, the fire resistance of a system including prefabricated gypsum plasterboard panels shall be classified according to EN 13501-2.
EN 13915:2007 (E) 8 4.2 Impact resistance NOTE Impact resistance is a characteristic dependent on an assembled system and not of the product in isolation. When the manufacturer wishes to declare the impact resistance performance of a system that includes prefabricated gypsum plasterboard panels, the performance of the system shall be determined in accordance with ISO 7892. 4.3 Water vapour permeability (expressed as water vapour resistance factor) Water vapour permeability is not a characteristic of heterogeneous products like panels therefore water vapour resistance is used instead. When the manufacturer wishes to declare a performance for moisture diffusion control, tabulated design values of water vapour resistance for gypsum plasterboards given in EN 12524 may be used for calculation. Alternatively, the water vapour resistance factor shall be determined in accordance with EN ISO 12572. 4.4 Flexural strength (expressed as deflection under a defined load) When determined in accordance with the test method described in 5.4, the deflection shall not exceed the values given in Table 1. Table 1 — Deflection values Panel thickness Deflection (max) mm mm 50 < e < 60 37,5 60 ≤ e < 70 30 70 ≤ e ≤ 80 15 4.5 Direct airborne sound insulation NOTE Direct airborne sound insulation is a characteristic dependent on the assembled system and not of the product in isolation. When the manufacturer wishes to declare the performance for the direct airborne sound insulation of an installed system including prefabricated gypsum plasterboard panels, the performance of the system shall be determined according to EN ISO 140-3 or EN ISO 717-1 as appropriate. 4.6 Acoustic absorption NOTE Acoustic absorption is a characteristic dependent on an assembled system and not of the product in isolation. When the manufacturer wishes to declare the performance of prefabricated gypsum plasterboard panels to be used for acoustic conditioning, the performance of acoustic absorption shall be determined according to EN ISO 354. 4.7 Thermal resistance (expressed as thermal conductivity) When the manufacturer wishes to claim the intended use of panels is to contribute to thermal resistance in building construction works (walls, partitions, etc.), he/she shall use for calculation, the design values of thermal resistance for gypsum plasterboards given in EN 12524 or the thermal conductivity shall be determined according to EN 12664.
