BS EN 17104-2021 pdf free download.Thermoplastics rigid protective wallcovering panels for internal use in buildings — Performance characteristics
This document specifies characteristics for thermoplastics rigid protective wallcovering panels whose purposes are decorative and protective, but non-structural.
The thermoplastics rigid protective wallcovering panels are intended to be used as finishes for hanging onto internal walls and wall partitions by means of adhesive. Their surface may be with or without embossing.
It also specifies the procedures for the assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP) of the thermoplastics rigid protective wallcovering panels.
This document does not cover thermoplastics rigid protective wallcovering panels:
— fixed onto internal walls and wall partitions by other means than by adhesives, as well as the adhesives and ancillary products themselves,
— intended to be used on ceilings.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
• IEC Electropedia: available at http://www.electropedia.org/
• ISO Online browsing platform: available at https://www.iso.org/obp
NOTE See Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 for additional definitions.
3.1 thermoplastics rigid protective wallcovering panel
homogeneous or heterogeneous panel/sheet made from plastic material(s), covered or not with a decorative film, intended to wall protection without structural function
Note 1 to entry: On the market, the wording “thermoplastics rigid protective wallcovering sheet” is also used.
Note 2 to entry: Panels/sheets can have different shapes, dimensions, thicknesses, colours, designs or densities,and the protective face of panels may be with or without embossing.
3.2 product family
group of products produced by one manufacturer for which the assessment results for one or more characteristics from any one product within the range are valid for all other products within this range
4 Characteristics
4.1 Reaction to fire
NOTE The reaction to fire indicates the degree of contribution of the material of these panels to the behaviour of the construction product in the event of fire.
The reaction to fire performance of a thermoplastics rigid protective wallcovering panel shall be determined according to 5.1 for the claimed reaction to fire class, as specified in EN 13501-1:2018.
If so, the claimed class of the reaction to fire performance of a thermoplastics rigid protective wallcovering panel shall be expressed together with the type of the applied substrate, as defined in EN 13238:2010, Table 1, the 1 st column (Nature).
EXAMPLE D-s1,d0 / Fibre cement board
When defining a product family of a particular type of the thermoplastics rigid protective wallcovering panel with regard to its reaction to fire performance, the panel’s parameters, influencing such performance, as given in A.1, shall be taken into account.BS EN 17104 pdf download.
