TS EN 14190

TS EN 14190 is a standard for gypsum plasterboard products made from reprocessing, covering the terminology, basic requirements, and test methods used for this product family. It helps define how products made with reprocessed gypsum-based material are identified and described in a common technical language. OFFICIAL SCOPE IS UNAVAILABLE.

How reprocessing relates to gypsum plasterboard products

Gypsum plasterboard is widely used in interior partitioning, lining, and dry construction systems. The phrase “from reprocessing” indicates that part of the raw material stream comes from reprocessed gypsum-based material. That distinction matters because recycled or reprocessed input affects how the product is defined, compared, and evaluated from a technical standpoint. Standards of this kind create shared terminology for manufacturers, purchasers, and laboratories so that the same product characteristics are discussed consistently.

General technical context for requirements and test methods

In standards of this type, requirements and test methods typically support the assessment of dimensions, appearance, mechanical behavior, surface characteristics, and suitability for intended use. In general technical terms, the definitions section clarifies which product types belong to the family; the requirements section sets the expected characteristics; and the test methods describe how those characteristics are measured. This makes it easier to compare products, write specifications, and evaluate supply consistently.

• Definitions establish a shared technical language for the product family covered by the title.
• Requirements frame the expected characteristics and production consistency of the product.
• Test methods support repeatable measurements and more comparable results.
• Use of reprocessed material is a technically important topic in gypsum-based products because it relates to resource efficiency and material circulation.
