TS EN 14190

TS EN 14190 is a standard for gypsum plasterboard products made by reprocessing gypsum plasterboards manufactured in accordance with EN 520. Its technical focus is the relationship between the base board and the finished product after operations such as cutting, drilling, edge profiling, applying functional or decorative facing layers, and adding decoration. In practice, it provides a common technical language for describing and comparing processed gypsum-board-based products.

What counts as reprocessed gypsum plasterboard products

In this context, reprocessing is broader than simple resizing. It can include surface finishing, decorative treatment, added facing materials, and the joining of fixing elements used in partition applications. From a general construction-materials perspective, gypsum plasterboard is valued for its light weight, smooth surface and ease of manufacture; once it is reprocessed, however, the final product’s performance also depends on the added processing steps and any applied facing or decoration. That distinction matters because the standard addresses finished products, not just the original board material.

Definitions, requirements and test methods in context

Because the title explicitly combines definitions, requirements and test methods, the document is not only about terminology. It also sets the technical framework used to assess product performance. For gypsum-based building products, relevant properties in real applications often include dimensional accuracy, surface quality, mechanical behaviour, reaction to fire and, depending on use, thermal, acoustic or moisture-related characteristics. This general background explains why a standard tied to EN 520 boards needs structured test methods rather than relying on description alone. The listing refers to a withdrawn TSE edition, so it is best understood as a technical reference for this product family.

• Targets products derived from gypsum plasterboards made to EN 520.
• Includes reprocessing steps such as cutting, drilling and edge profiling.
• Recognises decorative or functional facing layers and decoration.
• Also refers to assemblies involving fixing elements used in partition support applications.
• Combines terminology, requirements and test methods in one technical framework.
