Information:
1. The performance relates only to the behaviour of the specimen of the element of
construction under the particular conditions of test. They are not intended to be the sole
criteria for assessing the potential fire performance of the element in use, nor do they
reflect the actual behaviour in fires.

instructions, available from Saint-Gobain Gyproc Middle East FZE.

3. The partition assemblies shall be mechanically fixed to wall and/or floor constructions or
structural steel members having a fire resistance rating of at least the same period as the
partition system.

4. The approval relates to on-going production. Board product and/or its immediate packaging
shall be identified with the certification mark including the certification number, and the
manufacturer’s name and the product name or code reference.
