3 Page 3 II SPECIFIC CONDITIONS OF THE EUROPEAN TECHNICAL APPROVAL 1 Definition of the product and intended use 1.1. Definition of the product The shuttering system NEOMUR are non load-bearing permanent shuttering kits based on preassembled moulded expanded polystyrene panels (EPS) of one storey height applicable as formwork for plain and reinforced concrete walls cast in-situ, see Annex 1. The concrete infill structural pattern is of continuous type. The expanded polystyrene (EPS) sheets are mechanically fixed to an arrangement of braced, wire-rod reinforcement cage using polypropylene screw caps at 200 mm cross centres, see Annex 3. The reinforcement cage consists of horizontal threaded metal rods of Ø5 mm screwed to the caps and electro-welded to vertical reinforcement bars with Ø ranging from 8 to 12 mm (generally Ø8 mm) depending on the structural design requirements and diagonal bracing bars of Ø3 mm. Additional reinforcement can be placed within the cage depending on design requirements. The panels are 1200 mm wide by 200 to 4500 mm high. The thickness of the outer shuttering panels ranges from 50 to 250 mm. The inner shuttering panels are 50 mm thick. Shuttering kits with a thicker outer insulating panel are generally used for external load-bearing walls. Shuttering kits with inner and outer panels of equal thickness are also used for internal partition walls. The concrete layer of the wall can be produced in any thickness by using the suitable spacers from 120 to 300 mm. The total thickness of the wall not coating can vary from 220 to 600 mm while varying dimensions of the spacers and/or the EPS panels. The vertical edges of each EPS panels have a flat form. Prior to pouring concrete, adjacent units are wired together, plumbed vertically and propped. The props are kept in place until the concrete has reached the initial design strength. The bottom of the inner EPS panel is pushed into a galvanized steel setting-out channel screw fixed or bolted into the foundation, basement or floor slab. Renderings, coatings and plasters are not part of this ETA Intended use The kit is intended to be used for the construction of internal as well as external walls, above or below ground which are load-bearing or non load-bearing, for residential buildings, offices, public establishments, including those which are subject to fire regulations. For the intended use it is essential to protect this type of construction against effect of the weather.

4 Page 4 When using this type of construction below ground a waterproofing according to applicable national rules shall be provided depending whether water not exerting pressure or water exerting pressure is to be dealt with. The waterproofing shall be protected from mechanical damage by an impact-resistant protective coating Assumed working life The provisions aimed in this ETA are based on one assumed working life of the kit of formwork of at least 50 years, provided that the system of formwork is subjected to a suitable use and maintenance. The indications given for the envisaged working life cannot be regarded as a guarantee given by the manufacturer or approval body. They must be regarded only as means of choice the right products in relation to the expected economically reasonable working life of the works. 2 Characteristics of products and methods of verification 2.1 Characteristics of products 2.11 Shuttering kit All detailed drawing of part or sub assembly of the shuttering kits and accessories are in annex EPS panels The shuttering panels are made of high density expanded polystyrene.

19 Page 19 4 Assumptions under which the fitness of the product for the intended use was favorably assessed 4.1. Manufacturing The shuttering elements are manufactured in accordance with the provisions of the European technical approval using the process automated of manufacture as identified during the inspection of the factory by the notified body. The shuttering panels are marketed by Knauf and Plastedil, the cages and spacers are marketed by Plastedil Installation The instructions of the manufacturer for the handling of the system shall be known to the one who executes the building and are to be followed. If the manufacturer's instructions contain other specifications than those stated here, the specifications of the ETA shall apply. In end use conditions concrete walls of continuous type of plain or reinforced concrete according to EN or corresponding national rules will be formed. Erection of the wall panels commences at one corner. First a galvanized steel channel is anchored to the foundation using screws or nails to secure the inner sheet of the wall in position. The first panel is placed into the channel on one side of the corner and stabilized using a diagonal brace. Additional corner reinforcement is wired to the standard reinforcement cage. The second panel is introduced and placed against the first panel. The cages are wired together and the corner is strengthened by steel corner braces to inside and outside. Further panels are introduced and the joints between panels are held in place using galvanized steel strip held in place by plastic screw caps. The quantities of reinforcement steel placed within the system are dependent on the design requirements. Door, window or service openings can be cut on site, with EPS bucks inserted around the periphery of formed openings. Prior to pouring concrete, adjacent units are wired together, plumbed vertically and propped. The props are kept in place until the concrete has reached the initial design strength. Concrete placement should be directed away from corners in 1500 mm lifts. The operation requires a concrete having the aggregates from 10 to 15 mm, and having a slump class S4 according to the standard EN 206-1: Vibrating equipment can be used with care. The manufacturer s installation guide is a supporting document for the ETA. The preparation, installation and support of the wall panels and application of the specified finishes must be in accordance with the NEOMUR Installation Manual, which shall be present on construction site.
