4.9.

Sandwich Panels
4.9.1. Sandwich Panels shall comply with general requirements of Section 4.5, where used
on façade and exterior wall and the specific requirements of Section 4.9.

4.9.2. Sandwich Panels used in other applications such as internal partitions, cold storage
or roofing shall comply with the specific requirements of Section 4.9.

4.9.3. Sandwich panels shall be tested for the intended applications such as external, inter-
nal, roofing or cold storages and shall not be interchanged in their end applications.

4.9.4. Definition

4.9.4.1. Sandwich panels are foam plastic insulated sandwich panels (FISP) or mineral
core insulated panels or self supporting double skin metal faced insulating
panels.

| CDGH-OP-25 | September 2018 Page 161 of 1348


4.9.4.2. Generally cores used in the sandwich panels based on their intended appli-
cation are Polyisocyanurate Foam (PIR), Polyurethane Foam (PUR), Expanded
or Extruded Polystyrene (EPS and EXPS) or Non-combustible mineral wool or
fiberglass.

4.9.4.3. Sandwich panels are generally used as external wall systems in low rise
building such as warehouses and roofing. As internal partitions and ceiling
applications, sandwich panels are used in, cold storages, food industries,
warehouses and industries.

4.9.5. Specific Requirements

4.9.5.1. Where Sandwich panels are installed on the exterior walls, they shall not
reduce the fire resistance rating of the wall.

4.9.5.2. Sandwich panels shall be Marked/labeled to verify its certification mark


from accredited certification laboratory with its intended end use and appli-
cation (Such as Internal wall, External wall, cold storage, roofing etc.), in
compliance with this code.

4.9.5.3. Sandwich panels installed as exterior walls shall be completely separated


from the building interior and plenum by a thermal barrier, complying to

concrete or masonry with a minimum thickness of 25 mm.

4.9.5.5. Thermal barrier shall not be required in fully Sprinkler protected cooler or
freezer or cold rooms and the rooms they are located in, when sandwich
panel is minimum 4 inch thick and has Class A rating as per UL 723 or ASTM
E 84 (FSI-25, SDI-450 or less), when tested both core and panel. Moreover,
sandwich panel shall have self ignition temperature, not less than 4270C in
accordance with ASTM D 1929.

4.9.5.6. Thermal barrier shall not be required in roof assemblies where sandwich
panels are separated from the interior of the building by wood structural
sheathing not less than 12 mm in thickness. And the sandwich panel is part
of roof covering assembly tested and passes with FM 4450 or UL 1256 or
FM 4471.

4.9.5.7. Foam plastic insulation, exterior facings an coatings shall be tested sepa-
rately in the thickness of intended use as per Table 1.17.c.

tested in accordance with Table 1.17.a.

4.9.6.2. Sandwich panels as fire resistance rated exterior wall assembly coverings
shall comply with both Table 1.17.a. and Table 1.17.b.

4.9.6.3. Sandwich panels used in applications other than as exterior walls shall com-
ply with test requirements in accordance with Table 1.17.c.

4.9.7. Application

4.9.7.1. The occupancies and type of buildings that are allowed to have sandwich
panels in their exterior wall facades shall be in accordance with Table
1.17.a. and Table 1.17.b.
