Mechanical fasteners for gypsum plasterboard systems - Definitions, requirements and test methods

This European Standard specifies the characteristics and performance of mechanical fasteners, including nails, screws and staples, intended to be used for the fixing of gypsum plasterboard, gypsum boards with fibrous reinforcement, products from secondary processing and suitable ancillary products as shown in Figure 2, to timber and metal, as appropriate, in building construction works. The fasteners secure the board to the framing enabling its surface to be finished by jointing or plastering to receive decoration. They can also be used for the construction of the framing and for the connection between substructure and load bearing components and for fixing boards together. Mechanical fasteners contribute to the stability of the assembly.
This European Standard covers the following product performance characteristics: reaction to fire and flexural strength to be measured according to the corresponding European test methods.
It provides for the evaluation of conformity of the product to this European Standard.
This European Standard also covers the additional technical characteristics that are of importance for the use and acceptance of the products by the construction industry and the reference tests for these characteristics.
This European Standard does not cover nails, screws and staples intended for use with materials other than plasterboard and the plasterboard based products referred to above and their associated system components.

Mechanische Befestigungsmittel für Gipsplattensysteme - Begriffe, Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren

Diese Europäische Norm legt die Eigenschaften und Leistung der mechanischen Befestigungsmittel, einschließlich Nägel, Schrauben und Klammern fest, die in Bauwerken zur Befestigung von Gipsplatten, faser¬verstärkten Gipsplatten, Produkten aus der Weiterverarbeitung und geeigneten Nebenprodukten, wie in Bild 2 dargestellt, auf Holz oder Metall, wie zutreffend, vorgesehen sind. Die Befestigungsmittel sichern die Platten auf der Unterkonstruktion und ermöglichen so, dass die mit Spachtel oder Putzauftrag versehenen Oberflä¬chen gestrichen oder tapeziert werden können. Sie können auch zum Zusammenbau der Unterkonstruktion und für die Verbindung zwischen Unterkonstruktion und lasttragenden Teilen sowie zur Verbindung von Platten untereinander verwendet werden. Mechanische Befestigungsmittel tragen zur Stabilität des Gesamt¬systems bei.
Diese Europäische Norm behandelt die folgenden Produkt-Leistungsmerkmale: Brandverhalten und Biege¬festigkeit, die mit den entsprechenden europäischen Prüfverfahren nachzuweisen sind.
Sie legt die Bewertung der Konformität der von dieser Europäischen Norm erfassten Produkte fest.
Diese Europäische Norm behandelt auch die zusätzlichen technischen Eigenschaften, die für die Anwendung und Akzeptanz der Produkte durch die Bauwirtschaft wichtig sind, und enthält die Referenzprüfverfahren für diese Eigen¬schaften.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für Nägel, Schrauben und Klammern, die für die Verarbeitung anderer Bau¬stoffe als der oben erwähnten Gipsplatten oder aus Gipsplatten hergestellten Produkte und der zugehörigen System-Komponenten, verwendet werden.

Fixations mécaniques pour systèmes en plaques de plâtre - Définitions, spécifications et méthodes d'essai

1   Domaine d'application
La présente Norme européenne définit les caractéristiques et les performances des fixations mécaniques, telles que clous, vis et clous cavaliers, destinées à être utilisés pour fixer les plaques de plâtre, les plaques de plâtre armées de fibres, les produits obtenus par transformation secondaire ainsi que les produits accessoires appropriés représentés à la Figure 2 sur des ossatures en bois de construction et en métal, le cas échéant, dans les ouvrages de construction. Les fixations maintiennent la plaque de plâtre sur l’ossature, permettant ainsi à sa surface de recevoir une finition par jointoiement ou enduisage avant d’être décorée. Elles peuvent également servir à la construction de l’ossature et à la liaison entre l’infrastructure et les éléments porteurs ainsi qu’à la fixation des plaques entre elles. Les fixations mécaniques contribuent à la stabilité de l’assemblage.
La présente Norme européenne couvre les caractéristiques suivantes de performance des produits : réaction au feu et résistance à la flexion qui doivent être mesurées selon les méthodes d’essai européennes correspondantes.
Elle prévoit l’évaluation de la conformité du produit à la présente Norme européenne.
La présente Norme européenne couvre également les caractéristiques techniques supplémentaires qui sont importantes pour l’utilisation et l’acceptation des produits par l’industrie du bâtiment ainsi que les essais de référence relatifs à ces caractéristiques.
La présente Norme européenne ne couvre pas les clous, vis et clous cavaliers destinés à être utilisés avec des matériaux autres que les plaques de plâtre et les produits à base de plaques de plâtre mentionnés ci-dessus et les éléments associés correspondants.

(ISO 12777-3:2002)
Fasteners protected with zinc coating shall have a minimum coating thickness of 5 µm (35 g/m²) for screws and nails and 3 µm (21 g/m²) for staples when tested in accordance with 5.7. 4.4.2 Requirements for plasterboard nails 4.4.2.1 Materials Plasterboard nails shall be produced from wire drawn from rods produced in accordance with EN 10016-1 to -4. 4.4.2.2 Head - Dimensions and tolerances The diameter and tolerance of the head shall be stated by the producer in its technical literature. When measured in accordance with 5.3.3.3, no more than five nails shall fail.

EN 10327 up to a thickness of 2 mm when screws are tested in accordance with 5.6. No more than 5 screws shall exceed a penetration time of 4 s. 4.4.3.4 Length The nominal length and tolerances shall be stated by the producer in its technical literature. When measured in accordance with 5.3.3.2, no more than five screws shall be outside the stated tolerances. 4.4.3.5 Hardness The surface of the screws shall be case hardened to a minimum depth of 0,05 mm with a case hardness of
55 HRC to Rockwell cone according to EN ISO 6508-1. Not more than five screws shall fail.

Drive the appropriate fastener perpendicular into the timber to a depth of 20 mm. In the case of metal a depth of 10 mm is required. Anchor the support plate. Apply the clamping device to the head or crown of the fastener. Attach the coupling ring to the loading machine. Apply a progressive force at the rate of 450 N per min to determine the total withdrawal force. 5.4.4 Expression of results Record the test results and compare with the requirements of 4.4.2.5, 4.4.3.2 and 4.4.4.2. 5.5 Determination of bending behaviour 5.5.1 Principle The fastener is clamped in such a way as to resist bending at two points A and B (see Figure 3 of
EN ISO 12777-3:2002). A force is then applied to the unclamped portion of the fastener at a set point C, using a pivot bending actuator to which torque is applied.

to 350 w, no load speed (2 350 ± 350) revolutions per min; c) fixed support mounting for the power screwdriver; d) application force: Power screwdriver plus dead weight = 15 kg; e) stop watch with pre-setting to start at the commencement of drilling and stop when screw penetrates to a depth of 10 mm. This fixed depth allows all lengths of screws to be tested; f) cold rolled galvanised steel sheet (0,6 ± 0,04) mm manufactured to EN 10327 of a size large enough for 50 type N screws to be inserted without interference with one another.(See Table A.2). g) cold rolled galvanised steel sheet (2 ± 0,09) mm manufactured to EN 10327 of a size large enough for 50 type D screws to be inserted without interference with one another. (See Table A.2). 5.6.3 Procedure Select 50 screws from the batch of screws to be tested. Secure the sample metal below the mounted screwdriver. Locate the bit in the power screwdriver and engage a sample screw with the tip of the screw in contact with the metal prior to power being applied. Set the stop watch to zero. Start the drill. The watch will stop automatically after the screw has penetrated 10 mm. Note the penetration time for type N screws and repeat for the remainder or note the number of type D screws which fail to penetrate. 5.6.4 Expression of results Record for type N screws, the average drilling time and the number of screws exceeding the 1 s penetration time (see 4.4.3.3.). Record for type D screws, the average drilling time and the number of screws exceeding the 4 s penetration time (see 4.4.3.3.).
