Scope

This document covers structural double skin metal faced insulating sandwich panels intended to be used as elements for structural applications in construction works in roofs, in external and internal walls (including partitions) and in ceilings (hereafter referred to as structural sandwich panels).

The structural sandwich panels consist of two faces made of:

— steel;

— stainless steel;

— aluminium;

— aluminium alloys;

— copper

and insulating core made of

— rigid polyurethane foam (PU) (see 3.1.23);

— expanded polystyrene (EPS) (see 3.1.21);

— extruded polystyrene foam (XPS) (see 3.1.22);

— phenolic foam (PF) (see 3.1.20);

— mineral wool (MW) (see 3.1.19)

either by using an auto-adhesive bonding technique or by using a separate adhesive layer.

Products which are

— curved;

— perforated (perforated face);

— used for stabilization purposes having insulation core material of phenolic foam;

— 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.
