Scope

This document specifies characteristics of factory-made double skin metal faced insulating sandwich panels intended to be used as elements for self-supporting applications in construction works in roofs, external and internal walls (including partitions) and in ceilings (hereafter referred to as non-structural sandwich panels). The non-structural sandwich panels consist of two faces made of: — steel; — stainless steel; — aluminium; — aluminium alloys; — copper and insulating core made of: — rigid polyurethane (PU) (see 3.1.17); — expanded polystyrene (EPS) (see 3.1.15); — extruded polystyrene foam (XPS) (see 3.1.16); — phenolic foam (PF) (see 3.1.14); — mineral wool (MW) (see 3.1.13) either by using an auto-adhesive bonding technique or by using a separate adhesive layer. Products which are — curved; — perforated (perforated faces); — used for stabilization purposes; — consisting of two or more clearly specified layers of different insulating core materials (multi-layered) or of different materials per face; — used as ceilings when fastening is under permanent tension load; — parts of clean room kits, conditioning room kits, cold storage room kits and cold storage building envelope and building kits; — reused; are excluded from this product definition. Products intended to be used for structural applications are excluded from this product definition.
