Mechanical fasteners for gypsum plasterboard systems - Definitions, requirements and test methods
This European Standard specifies the characteristics and performance of mechanical fasteners, including nails, screws and staples, intended to be used for the fixing of gypsum plasterboard, gypsum boards with fibrous reinforcement, products from secondary processing and suitable ancillary products as shown in Figure 4, to timber and metal, as appropriate, in building construction works. The fasteners secure the board to the framing enabling its surface to be finished by jointing or plastering to receive decoration. They can also be used for the construction of the framing and for the connection between substructure and load bearing components and for fixing boards together. Mechanical fasteners contribute to the stability of the assembly.
This European Standard covers the following product performance characteristics: reaction to fire and flexural strength to be measured
according to the corresponding European test methods. It provides for the evaluation of conformity of the product to this European
Standard. This EN also covers the additional technical characteristics that are of importance for the use and acceptance of the products by the construction industry and the reference tests for these characteristics.
This European Standard does not cover nails, screws and staples intended for use with materials other than plasterboard and the plasterboard based products referred to above and their associated system components.

Overview
SIST EN 14566:2008/kprA1:2009 is a European standard published by the Slovenian Institute for Standardization (SIST). It specifies the definitions, requirements, and test methods for mechanical fasteners-such as nails, screws, and staples-used in gypsum plasterboard systems. These mechanical fasteners are crucial for the secure installation of gypsum boards, boards with fibrous reinforcement, and associated products to timber and metal structures in building construction. By outlining conformity, performance characteristics, and testing protocols, this standard ensures a high level of safety, stability, and durability for finished wall and ceiling assemblies.
Key Topics
- Mechanical Fastener Types: Covers a broad range of fasteners, including nails, screws, and staples designed for use with gypsum-based boards.
- Intended Substrates: Specifies use for timber frames, metal frames, and load-bearing substructures in construction works.
- Product Performance Characteristics:
- Reaction to fire
- Flexural strength
- Evaluation of Conformity: Establishes requirements for consistent product compliance with the defined performance criteria.
- Technical Characteristics: Identifies essential attributes important for acceptance and functionality within the construction industry.
- Reference Test Methods: Standardizes testing procedures to ensure reproducible and reliable measurement of fastener performance.
Applications
The standard provides practical guidance and requirements for the use of mechanical fasteners in a variety of gypsum plasterboard system applications, supporting both structural integrity and finishing quality. Major application areas include:
- Gypsum Board Fixing: Securely attaching plasterboards and related products to wooden or metal framing systems.
- Framing Construction: Utilizing fasteners for initial assembly of supporting frameworks in non-loadbearing and partition walls or ceilings.
- Board-to-Board Connections: Fastening boards together in multi-layer assemblies to enhance rigidity.
- Substructure Integration: Providing connections between room-facing layers, substructure elements, and primary load-bearing components.
These applications are critical in residential, commercial, and public sector buildings where gypsum boards are employed for their fire resistance, ease of installation, and finish quality.
Related Standards
To ensure compatibility and comprehensive coverage, the following related standards are referenced or relevant in conjunction with SIST EN 14566:2008/kprA1:2009:
- EN 10083: Steels for quenching and tempering - technical delivery conditions for materials used in fastener production.
- EN 10084: Case hardening steels - specifying requirements for steels subjected to case hardening for enhanced surface properties.
- EN 15283-1 & EN 15283-2: Associated standards for gypsum boards with fibrous reinforcement and other advanced product types.
- EU Construction Products Regulation: Incorporation of compliance pathways as required by EU legislation.
The combination of SIST EN 14566 and these related standards provides a robust framework for both manufacturers and users of fasteners, facilitating safe and effective gypsum system installations across Europe.
