EN 15318:2007 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard defines the rules for the design of gypsum blocks as specified in EN 12859, assembled with adhesives as specified in EN 12860. Accessory products are also defined in this document.
It is applicable to non-loadbearing partition walls and internal insulation of walls in rooms of residential buildings, offices, hospitals, schools etc. and to linings of posts, beams, ducts, shafts etc, that are suitable to receive finishes such as paint and wallpaper without any prior traditional plastering, but having had normal preparation prior to painting. Certain components requiring special provisions are not covered by this standard and require special consideration. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

EN 15318:2007 (E) 5 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this European Standard, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 partition non-loadbearing, self-supporting vertical wall fixed to the shell construction at the periphery 3.2 dividing partition partition separating two rooms or spaces belonging to the same structural unit (office, school, house, etc.) 3.3 backing partition partition placed back-to-back with a wall element to which it is not connected
3.4 partition connected at top
partition extending over the whole distance between the floor and the ceiling and connected to the shell construction at the top
3.5 partition free at top partition extending over the whole distance but not connected to the shell construction at the top
3.6 dwarf partition partition extending only over part of the distance between the floor and the ceiling
3.7 single partition partition of thickness equal to that of the gypsum block
3.8 multiple partition partition comprising several single gypsum block partitions separated by a cavity, possibly fitted with insulation
3.9 composite partition single or multiple partition connected to other materials to satisfy specific performance requirements
3.10 free-ended partition
partition with an unconnected vertical edge
3.11 overhanging partition partition at the end of the top floor
3.12 lining (of posts) encasement of any load bearing element
3.13 duct vertical or inclined structure that incorporates shafts and does not convey fluids (air, smoke) directly



EN 15318:2007 (E) 6
3.14 shaft vertical structure that conveys fluids or gases directly
NOTE Shafts made of gypsum blocks are intended to convey only air or smoke 3.15 panel part of partition between stiffeners, between structural elements, between stiffener and structural elements
3.16 stiffener existing or additional structural element contributing to the stability of the gypsum block structure
3.17 additional vertical stiffener vertical reinforcing element connected at its two ends to the structure or to an additional horizontal stiffener
3.18 additional horizontal stiffener horizontal reinforcing element ensuring the load is transferred to the structure
3.19 horizontal stiffener for dwarf partition horizontal reinforcing element connected at its two ends to the structure or to an additional stiffener to ensure the horizontal loads are transferred
3.20 mechanical stress level - HIGH: stresses in non-residential rooms - NORMAL: stresses in residential rooms
