(Amendment)Suspended ceilings - Requirements and test methods
Suspended ceilings - Requirements and test methods
This European Standard covers membranes, individual substructure components, substructure kits and suspended ceiling kits when these are placed on the market. This European Standard also gives certain specifications for the installed suspended ceiling system, for two reasons: the individual components and kits may have to meet certain requirements in order for the installed system to be able to meet the requirement when the system is installed, and because it is appropriate, for ease of reference, to give both component/kit requirement and installed system requirement in the same document, given the relationship between them.
This European Standard provides information for the various parties responsible for designing, manufacturing and specifying/selecting suspended ceilings used for interior applications in general building and civil engineering structures. It covers suspended ceilings sold as a complete kit, substructures sold as kits, individual components (products) of such substructures, and membrane components. It includes test methods and methods of assessment, as well as provisions for the evaluation of conformity of the products to the requirements of this European Standard.
In the absence of any other European Standard, this European Standard specifies dimensions, tolerances and, where relevant, performance requirements, for commonly available ceiling substructures and membrane components.
This European Standard does not cover the following:
ceiling substructures and membrane component covered by other harmonised European Standards, for in-situ formed ceilings, covered by other European technical specifications, for which it is the installer, not the component manufacturer, who takes responsibility for ensuring that the complete installed suspended ceiling meets any regulatory requirements to which it is subject;
stretched ceilings covered by EN 14716;
ceilings in mobile buildings, caravans and other forms of transportation;
characteristics
Unterdecken - Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren
Der bestehende ist durch den neuen Anwendungsbereich zu ersetzen:
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für Deckenlagen, einzelne Bauteile von Unterkonstruktionen, Bausätze für
Unterkonstruktionen und Bausätze für abgehängte Decken, die in Verkehr gebracht werden. Aus zwei
Gründen enthält diese Europäische Norm ebenfalls bestimmte Festlegungen für eingebaute
Unterdeckensysteme. Erstens kann es vorkommen, dass einzelne Bauteile und Bausätze bestimmte
Anforderungen erfüllen müssen, damit das eingebaute Unterdeckensystem die Anforderungen erfüllt und da
es auf Grund der Beziehung zwischen Bauteil bzw. Bausatz und dem eingebauten System angebracht ist, die
Anforderungen für beide in einem Dokument anzugeben.
Diese Europäische Norm enthält Informationen für die verschiedenen Seiten, die für Entwurf, Herstellung und
Festlegung/Auswahl von abgehängten Decken für den Einsatz im Innern von Gebäuden und in
Ingenieurbauwerken zuständig sind. Sie behandelt abgehängte Decken, die als vollständiger Bausatz verkauft
werden (wahlweise einschließlich Beleuchtung und ähnlicher Zubehörteile), Unterkonstruktionen, die als
Bausätze verkauft werden, einzelne Bauteile (Produkte) dieser Unterkonstruktionen sowie
Decklagenelemente. Sie schließt sowohl Prüf- und Bewertungsverfahren als auch Festlegungen für die
Beurteilung der Konformität der Produkte mit den Anforderungen dieser Europäischen Norm ein.
Mangels anderer Europäischer Normen legt die vorliegende Europäische Norm Maße, Grenzabmaße und,
sofern zutreffend, Ausführungsanforderungen für handelsübliche Deckenunterkonstruktionen und Decklagen-elemente
fest.
Plafonds suspendus - Exigences et méthodes d'essai
Remplacer le domaine d’application actuel par le suivant :
La présente Norme européenne couvre les éléments d’habillage, les éléments individuels des ossatures, les ossatures vendues sous forme de kits et les plafonds suspendus vendus sous forme de kits lorsque ces derniers se trouvent sur le marché. La présente Norme européenne fournit également certaines spécifications relatives aux systemes de plafond suspendu installés et ce, pour deux raisons : les éléments individuels des ossatures et les kits pensent devoir etre conformes a certaines exigences pour que le systeme puisse etre conforme aux exigences une fois installé, et parce qu’il est approprié, pour faciliter le référencement, de fournir aussi bien les exigences relatives aux éléments/kits que celles relatives au systeme installé dans le meme document, étant donné leur relation.
La présente Norme européenne fournit des informations aux diverses parties chargées de la conception, de la fabrication et de la spécification/sélection des plafonds suspendus utilisés pour des applications intérieures dans les bâtiments et structures de génie civil. Elle couvre les plafonds suspendus vendus sous forme de kits complets (comprenant éventuellement des dispositifs d'éclairage et autres fonctionnalités), les ossatures vendues sous forme de kits, les éléments (produits) individuels de ces ossatures et les éléments d’habillage. Elle contient les méthodes d'essai et d'évaluation ainsi que les dispositions relatives a l'évaluation de la conformité des produits aux exigences de la présente Norme européenne.
En l'absence de toute autre Norme européenne, la présente Norme européenne spécifie les dimensions, les tolérances et, le cas échéant, les exigences de performance des ossatures de plafond et des éléments d’habillage couramment disponibles.
La présente Norme européenne ne couvre pas les produits suivants :

Replace the current Scope with new one:
This European Standard covers membranes, individual substructure components, substructure kits and
suspended ceiling kits when these are placed on the market. This European Standard also gives certain
specifications for the installed suspended ceiling system, for two reasons: the individual components and kits
may have to meet certain requirements in order for the installed system to be able to meet the requirement
when the system is installed, and because it is appropriate, for ease of reference, to give both component/kit
requirement and installed system requirement in the same document, given the relationship between them.
This European Standard provides information for the various parties responsible for designing, manufacturing
and specifying/selecting suspended ceilings used for interior applications in general building and civil
engineering structures. It covers suspended ceilings sold as a complete kit, substructures sold as kits,
individual components (products) of such substructures, and membrane components. It includes test methods
and methods of assessment, as well as provisions for the evaluation of conformity of the products to the
requirements of this European Standard.
In the absence of any other European Standard, this European Standard specifies dimensions, tolerances and,
where relevant, performance requirements, for commonly available ceiling substructures and membrane
components.
This European Standard does not cover the following:
ceiling substructures and membrane component covered by other harmonised European Standards, for
in-situ formed ceilings, covered by other European technical specifications, for which it is the installer, not
the component manufacturer, who takes responsibility for ensuring that the complete installed suspended
ceiling meets any regulatory requirements to which it is subject;
stretched ceilings covered by EN 14716;
ceilings in mobile buildings, caravans and other forms of transportation;
characteristics needed for special applications, for which additional characteristics other than covered by
this European Standard would need to be complied with;
ceilings subject to water penetration requirements;
ceilings used externally where requirements other than covered by this scope would apply (tunnels,
canopies, petrol stations, arcades, open sports facilities, car parks etc.);
heavy duty suspended ceilings or their supporting construction (e.g. ceilings that can be walked on);
