Certification and Testing
Reaction to Fire
QuadCore KS1000RW Wall Panels are classified B-s1,d0, when tested on the internal face of the product, according to the European Reaction to Fire classification system (Euroclasses) BS EN 13501-1: 2018 under the certified name QuadCore KS1000RW when using the following internal liners:
CLEANsafe 15, CLEANsafe 25, CLEANsafe 55, CLEANsafe 120 and AQUAsafe 55.
Please contact Kingspan Tech-eXchange for information relating to the external face.
Fire Resistance
Fire resistance classifications are subject to panel thickness, orientation, method of assembly, and steel coating. Please contact Kingspan Tech-eXchange for project specific details.
Insurer Approvals
QuadCore KS1000RW Wall Panels are tested to:
LPS 1181 Part 1: Issue 1.2 Requirements and tests for built-up cladding and sandwich panel systems for use as the external envelope of buildings certified to:
LPS 1181-1 Grade EXT-B under the certified name QuadCore KS1000RW (Wall Panel) for thicknesses 40 – 150mm and vertical orientation
LPS 1181-1 Grade EXT-A15 under the certified name QuadCore KS1000RW (Wall Panel) for thicknesses 40 – 150mm and vertical orientation.
LPS 1181-1 Grade EXT-A30 under the certified name QuadCore KS1000RW (Wall Panel) for thicknesses 80 – 150mm and vertical orientation.
FM 4880 approval standard for class 1 fire rating of building panels or interior finish materials under the certified name KS1000RW for thicknesses 40 - 167 mm
FM 4881 approval standard for class 1 exterior wall systems under the certified name KS1000RW for thicknesses 40 - 167 mm
FM 4882 approval standard for class 1 interior wall and ceiling materials or systems for smoke sensitive occupancies under the certified name KS1000RW for thicknesses 40 - 167 mm
Insurer approvals are large scale testing regimes that provide objective third-party testing, which is underpinned by quarterly, bi-annual and annual factory surveillance audits (depending on the region) to verify compliance.
Insurer approvals are subject to panel thickness, cover width, orientation, method of assembly, steel coating and manufacturing facility. Please contact Kingspan Tech-eXchange for further information
Air Leakage
An air leakage rate of 3m3/hr/m2 at 50Pa or less can be achieved when using Kingspan insulated roof and wall panels.
For information on detailing required to achieve lower air leakage rates, please contact Kingspan Tech-eXchange.
Acoustic
Sound Reduction Index (SRI)
| Hz* | 63 | 125 | 250 | 500 | 1K | 2K | 4K | 8K |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SRI | 20 | 18 | 20 | 24 | 20 | 29 | 39 | 47 |
* Frequency
QuadCore KS1000RW Wall Panels have a single figure weighted sound reduction Rw = 25dB. Results are based on panels of similar profile and core material.
