Compliance with European standards (EAD 210005-00-0505)
ALUMINIUM GLASS partition systems are classified according to EAD 210005-00-0505 “Internal partition kits for use as non-loadbearing walls”. This is a European Assessment Document (EAD) which specifies the requirements for partition systems intended to be installed as non-loadbearing elements in interior applications.
STIKLA STUDIJA Ltd. provides a complete work cycle in accordance with EAD 210005-00-0505 regulations, guaranteeing the highest safety and quality standards in every project.
Here is a summary of how the company implements these requirements in practice:
The company bases its activities on the European Assessment Document (EAD), which specifies the requirements for internal partition systems as load-bearing walls. STIKLA STUDIJA SIA provides:
– System assembly: partition walls are manufactured and tested askits, which include structural profiles, glass elements, fasteners and gaskets.
– Quality control: all components are manufactured in the factory and tested as a system to guarantee the structural stability and safety of the building.
– Design: development of solutions according to the requirements of modern architecture and the functions of the specific space.
– Manufacturing: high precision work in a factory using proven components. (KIWA)
– Installation: professional installation to ensure that the system performs its full function (sound insulation, stability, etc.)
Thanks to this approach, the company’s aluminium glass partitions are suitable for flexible office planning, commercial and administrative projects, giving the customer confidence in the reliability and longevity of the structures.
Meeting technical and safety requirements
Although the partition walls do not affect the statics of the building, the company ensures that they comply with the building physics and safety criteria:
– Mechanical stability: structures are designed to withstand horizontal and point loads, as well as deformations during use.
– Fire safety and sound insulation: materials are assessed for their reaction to fire and to ensure the required level of airborne sound insulation, which is critical in office and public building environments.
– Safety in use: systems are designed to minimise the risk of injury or accidental structural damage during operation.
System evaluation in Europe
According to EAD 210005-00-0505, partition systems are assessed as kits consisting of different components:
♦ structural profiles
♦ glass or panel elements
♦ fasteners
♦ seals and mounting components
These elements are manufactured in the factory and tested as a system to ensure a stable and safe structure in the building.
Key characteristics of the assessment
The EAD document defines a number of essential technical characteristics that are tested for partition systems.
Fire safety
The reaction to fire performance of materials and the fire resistance of the structure shall be assessed in accordance with European classification standards.
Mechanical stability
Partitions must be able to withstand:
♦ horizontal loads
♦ point loads
♦ deformation during use.
Sound insulation
The level of airborne sound insulation is determined, which is particularly important in offices and commercial premises.
Safety of use
The system must be safe to use to prevent risk of injury or structural damage.
Operating conditions
The partitions are designed for indoor use.
Application in modern architecture
The EAD classification allows manufacturers to offer partition systems that are suitable:
♦ for office space planning
♦ flexible workspaces
♦ for modern commercial interiors
♦ public buildings and administrative projects.
