Gypsum board thermal/acoustic insulation composite panels - Definitions, requirements and test methods

This European Standard specifies the characteristics and performance of thermal/acoustic insulation composite panels made of an insulating material laminated to gypsum boards for which the main intended use is the internal insulation (thermal and/or acoustic) of walls. They are attached with adhesives or by mechanical fixings to vertical solid backgrounds and by mechanical fixings to wood or metal framing with the gypsum board face exposed. The method of fixing and jointing should ensure that the insulating material is not exposed in its normal application.
This European Standard covers the following performance characteristics: reaction to fire, fire resistance, water vapour permeability, flexural strength, impact resistance, direct airborne sound insulation and thermal resistance to be measured according to the corresponding European test methods.
It provides for the assessment and verification of constancy of performance of the products to this European Standard.
This European Standard covers also additional technical characteristics that are of importance for the use and acceptance of the product by the construction industry.

Overview

EN 13950:2014 - "Gypsum board thermal/acoustic insulation composite panels - Definitions, requirements and test methods" is a CEN European Standard that defines characteristics, performance and test methods for composite panels made by laminating an insulating material to gypsum boards for internal wall insulation. The standard covers panels fixed with adhesives or mechanical fixings (to solid backgrounds or timber/metal framing) with the gypsum board face exposed, and requires jointing/fixing methods that prevent exposure of the insulation in normal use. EN 13950:2014 also addresses assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP) and links to the EU Construction Products Regulation (CPR / Regulation (EU) No. 305/2011).

Key topics and technical requirements

EN 13950:2014 specifies performance characteristics and associated test methods, including:

  • Reaction to fire and fire resistance (references to EN 13823, EN 13501-1/2)
  • Water vapour permeability (expressed as water vapour resistance factor)
  • Thermal resistance and thermal performance (guarded hot plate / heat flow per EN 12667, EN 12939)
  • Direct airborne sound insulation and acoustic absorption
  • Flexural strength and impact resistance
  • Adhesion/cohesion of the insulating material and flatness/offset/dimensions and tolerances
  • Sampling, test procedures and expression of results for each characteristic
  • Factory production control (FPC), type testing and AVCP procedures, CE marking and Declaration of Performance (DoP) requirements (see Annex ZA)

The standard references related product and method standards such as EN 520 (gypsum plasterboards), EN 825 (flatness), EN 13963 (jointing materials) and EN 14496 (gypsum-based adhesives).

Applications and who uses it

EN 13950:2014 is intended for:

  • Manufacturers of gypsum-insulation composite panels - for product design, internal quality control and CE marking
  • Test laboratories - for performing specified tests and producing test reports
  • Specifiers, architects and consultants - to select panels that meet required fire, thermal and acoustic performance
  • Contractors and installers - to ensure correct fixing, jointing and application practices that preserve product performance
  • Certification bodies and regulators - for AVCP, DoP and enforcement under the CPR

Typical applications include internal wall insulation systems where both thermal insulation and acoustic performance are required, in residential, commercial and institutional buildings.
