Insurer Approvals
K-PIR Architectural Panels are tested to:
FM 4880 approval standard for class 1 fire rating of building panels or interior finish materials, unlimited height for thicknesses 50 mm to 140 mm and panel width of 1000 mm only.
FM 4881 approval standard for class 1 exterior wall systems, unlimited height for thicknesses 50 mm to 140 mm and panel width of 1000 mm only.
FM approvals are subject to the following certified names:
For 1000 mm widths: KS1000AWP.
Insurer approvals are large scale testing regimes that provide objective third-party testing, which is underpinned by quarterly, half-yearly and yearly factory surveillance audits (depending on the region) to verify compliance. Insurer approvals are subject to panel thickness, width, orientation, method of assembly, steel coating and manufacturing facility.
Please contact our Technical Team for project specific details.
Acoustic Performance
For a sound transmission reduction, K-PIR Architectural Panels have a weighted sound reduction index (SRI) of RW =24 - 26dB*. Results are based on panels with a of similar profile and core material.
* Please contact our Technical Team for project specific support and product specification where Rw = 26dB is required.
