BS EN 14190:2014
BS EN 14190:2014 (E)
EN 14190:2014 (E)

4.2 Fire behaviour

4.2.1 Reaction to fire

When the intended use of products from reprocessing is for fire exposed situations in building construction
works, the reaction to fire classification determined in accordance with 4.2 of EN 520:2004+A1:2009, 4.2 of
EN 15283-1:2008+A1:2009 and 4.2 of EN 15283-2:2008+A1:2009 may be used providing there is no
deterioration in the reaction to fire characteristics as the result of reprocessing (see Annex C for more
information).

In those cases where the reprocessing is likely to lead to a change of the reaction to fire, or the mounting and
fixing conditions of EN 520, EN 15283-1 and EN 15283-2 do not apply, the product shall be tested and
classified according to EN 13501-1.

Products tested according to EN 13823 (SBI test) shall be mounted and fixed in accordance with Annex C or
when the manufacturer wishes to claim performance for a specific intended use, the mounting and fixing shall
be representative of that intended use.

4.2.2 Resistance to fire

5 Test methods

5.1 Sampling

For testing, three units of each type are required.

BS EN 14190:2014
BS EN 14190:2014 (E)
EN 14190:2014 (E)

5.2 Stability determination

5.2.1 Principle

The self-supporting product shall be subjected to uniform incremental loading up to a value of 5 times its
weight.

5.2.2 Apparatus

a) a rigid test frame which is sufficiently stiff and will not deflect under the loads to be applied, of a size
capable of supporting the product in the same manner as when they are in use;

b) weights capable of being laid on the sample.

5.2.3 Procedure

Condition the sample to a constant mass 1) in a climate of (23 ± 2) °C and (50 ± 5) % of relative humidity. Start
the test as soon as possible after removal from the conditioning climate and complete it within 2 h. Set up the
frame square and level. The product to be tested is mounted in the same way as in its intended end use.

Load the sample, as quickly as possible, with the weight distributed uniformly to a total weight, 5 times the
dead weight of the sample. The applied load is kept steady and retained for 5 min. Examine the sample and
fixings for signs of cracking or deterioration. Repeat with the remaining two samples.

5.2.4 Expression of results

Report the applied load in N/m2, the type of product, the type and method of attachment of the fixing, its
centres in relation to the board dimensions. If no deterioration is observed the sample shall be satisfactory and
reported as passing the test.

5.3 Determination of thermal emissivity

5.3.1 Principle

The emissivity of a surface for thermal radiation is defined as the ratio of the radiation from unit area of the
surface to the radiation from unit area of a full radiator (i.e. a “black body” for which emissivity = 1).

A sample of the thin material to be laminated shall be taken and heated. Resultant radiation is measured and
compared with that from a black body.

5.3.2 Apparatus

a) a cylindrical copper or brass bath about 150 mm in diameter and 380 mm high fitted with a thermostatic
heater/stirrer unit;

b) a thermopile and stand;

c) a potentiometer sensitive to 1 µV, connected so as to measure the thermopile output.

1) Constant mass is defined as two successive weighings 24 h apart, differing by less than 0,1 %.
 BS EN 14190:2014
BS EN 14190:2014 (E)
EN 14190:2014 (E)

5.3.3 Procedure

Wrap a 300 mm square of test specimen around the outer surface of the bath and hold it taut to ensure good
thermal contact and a smooth surface. Take care to avoid excessive handling of the test surface

Coat the lower half of the specimen with a matt black paint of high thermal emissivity. Fill the bath with water
and maintain the temperature at (60 ± 1) °C.

Screen the apparatus from draughts and stray radiation (due to radiators, lights, etc.).

Place the thermopile with its open aperture approximately 25 mm away from the test surface and measure the
thermopile output on the potentiometer.

Place the thermopile with its open aperture the same distance away from the blackened surface and re-
measure the output.

To calculate the thermal emissivity of the test surface E1, deduct the mean value of the zero correction from
the thermopile output voltages measured when viewing first the test surface R1 and then the blackened
surface R2.

The following relation applies:

E1 / E2 = R1 / R2

where E2 is the thermal emissivity of the blackened surface.

Since the thermal emissivity of the blackened surface E2 approximates to a “black body” the percentage
thermal emissivity of the test surface E1 is given by:

100 ⋅ R1
R2

5.3.4 Expression of results

The percentage of thermal emissivity shall be reported to the nearest whole number.

6 Assessment and verification of constancy of performance - AVCP

6.1 General

The compliance of gypsum board products from reprocessing with the requirements of this standard and with
the performances declared by the manufacturer in the DoP shall be demonstrated by:

— Determination of the product type;

— Factory Production Control by the manufacturer (FPC).

The manufacturer shall always retain the overall control and shall have the necessary means to take
responsibility for the conformity of the product with its declared performance(s).

For the purposes of testing, products may be grouped into families, where it is considered that the selected
property is common to all products within that family.
BS EN 14190:2014
BS EN 14190:2014 (E)
EN 14190:2014 (E)

The decision on those products or properties which fall within a family shall be made by the manufacturer.

6.2 Type testing

6.2.1 General

Sampling and testing shall be in accordance with Clause 5.

The results of all type tests shall be recorded and held by the manufacturer for at least 10 years.

6.2.2 Determination of the product type

Determination of the product type shall be performed to show conformity with this standard.

Determination of the product type shall be performed at the beginning of the production of a new products
type (unless it is a member of a family previously tested) or at the beginning of a new method of production
(where this may significantly affect the stated properties).

Tests previously performed in accordance with the provisions of this standard (same product, same
characteristic(s), test method, sampling procedure, system of AVCP, etc.) may be taken into account.

All product characteristics in Clause 4 applicable to the intended uses shall be subject to the determination of
the product type, with the following exceptions:

— release of dangerous substances may be assessed indirectly by controlling the content of the substance
concerned;

— when design values or declared values are used;

— when reaction to fire is class A.1 (no contribution to fire) without further testing as 4.2.

6.2.3 Further type testing

Whenever a change occurs in the products design, the raw material or supplier of the components, or the
production process (subject to the definition of a family), which would change significantly one or more of the
characteristics, the type tests shall be repeated for the appropriate characteristic(s).

Sampling and testing shall be in accordance with Clause 5.

The results of all type tests shall be recorded and held by the manufacturer for at least 10 years.

6.3 Factory production control (FPC)

6.3.1 General

The manufacturer shall establish, document and maintain an FPC system to ensure that the products placed
on the market conform to the stated performance characteristics. The FPC system shall consist of procedures,
regular inspections and tests and/or assessments and the use of the results to control raw and other incoming
materials or components, equipment, the production process and the product.

A FPC system conforming with the requirements of EN ISO 9001, and made specific to the requirements of
this European Standard, should be considered to satisfy the above requirements.

Annex A
(informative)

Sampling procedure for testing

A.1 General

The required number of gypsum board products from reprocessing to determine the compliance with
specification should be sampled from a delivery consignment of boards.

The appropriate consignment size should be agreed between representatives of any involved parties who
should have the opportunity to be present at the time of sampling.

A.2 Sampling procedure

A.2.1 General

The choice of the method of sampling should be as defined in A.2.2 and A.2.3 as appropriate.

A.2.2 Random sampling2)

Whenever practically possible, the random sampling method should be used, in which every board in the
consignment has an equal chance of being selected for the sample.

Three boards of each type should be selected from positions throughout the consignment without any
consideration given to the condition or quality of the selected boards.

A.2.3 Representative sampling

A.2.3.1 General

When random sampling is impracticable or not convenient, e.g. when the products form a large stack or
stacks with ready access to only a limited number of boards, a representative sampling procedure should be
used.

A.2.3.2 Sampling from a stack

The consignment should be divided into at least three real or imaginary sections, each of a similar size. One
product should be selected at random from within each section in order to give the required number of
samples as indicated in 5.1.

NOTE It will be necessary to remove some sections of the stack or stacks in order to gain access to products within
the body of such stacks when taking samples.

2) In practice, random sampling is normally only convenient either when the products forming the consignment are being
moved in a loose (unpacked) form from one place to another or when they have been split into a large number of small
stacks awaiting installation.

BS EN 14190:2014 (E)
EN 14190:2014 (E)

A.2.3.3 Sampling from a consignment formed of banded or wrapped packs

At least three packs should be selected at random from the consignment. The packaging around each of the
selected packs should be removed and one product should be sampled at random from within each pack in
order to give the required number of samples without any consideration given to the condition or quality of the
selected products.
