It includes boards designed to receive either direct surface decoration or gypsum plaster. This document covers the following product performance characteristics: reaction to fire, water vapour permeability, flexural strength (breaking load), impact resistance and thermal resistance. The following performance characteristics are linked to systems assembled with plasterboards: shear strength, fire resistance, impact resistance, direct airborne sound insulation and acoustic absorption to be measured according to the corresponding European test methods. If required, tests should be done on assembled systems simulating the end use conditions. This document covers also additional technical characteristics that are of importance for the use and acceptance of the product by the Construction Industry and the reference tests for these characteristics. It provides for the evaluation of conformity of the product to this document. This document does not cover plasterboards, which have been subject to any secondary manufacturing operations (e.g. insulating composite panels, plasterboards with thin lamination, etc.).
Weather resistance
Details dimensions for sheet steel, cast iron, aluminium alloy or plastics indicator plates. Covers colours and finish, tests for impact resistance, colour stability, resistance to weathering, flexibility and security of removable numerals. Also includes recommendations for fixing.
Windows
Determines heating conditions, methods of test and fire resistance of products used for walls, partitions, flat roofs, columns, beams, suspended ceilings, doors, shutters, glazing and ceiling membranes.
Determines the fire resistance of smoke extraction ducts. Applicable only to smoke extraction ducts that pass through another fire compartment from the fire compartment to be extracted in case of fire. Represents fire exposure of a fully developed fire.
Looks at the influence on fire performance of building hardware items incorporated into hinged or pivoted vertically installed fire door assemblies or vertically installed openable window assemblies, with fire resistance up to and including 240 minutes.
Windows and doors
Detailed test requirements for the contribution made by suspended ceilings to beams and by intumescent seals to doorsets and shutter assemblies.
Provides recommendations for the specification, installation and maintenance of timber-based fire doors. Applicable for doors that are designed to provide fire resistance ratings up to and including 2 hours when tested in accordance with BS 476-22 or BS EN 1634-1.
Provides recommendations and guidance for the design, management and use of residential buildings, focussing on ensuring the fire safety of all people. Applies to dwellings, residential accommodation blocks and specialised housing. Covers designing means of escape, active fire protection, construction design, stairs and exits, HVAC, ancillary accommodation to flats and maisonettes, access and fire-fighting facilities, and building works.
Wood
Determines heating conditions, methods of test and fire resistance of products used for walls, partitions, flat roofs, columns, beams, suspended ceilings, doors, shutters, glazing and ceiling membranes.
