05 / Assurance

Standards and specification notes

Technical credibility depends on current documents and the performance of the complete installed system.

Reaction to fire

A1 — non-combustible according to EN 13501-1. This is the board’s reaction-to-fire classification, not a fire-resistance rating for a complete assembly.

Declared performance

EN 12467+A2:2018: Type NT, Category A, Class 2. Bending strength is declared as ≥ 7 N/mm² in wet condition for Category A/B.

Current documentation

Request the current Declaration of Performance and applicable conformity documentation before specification. Confirm the certification scope for the supplied thickness.

06 / Guidance

Frequently asked questions

01How should Smartfiber be painted?

Apply a compatible water-based acrylic paint after installation, following current board and coating-system guidance.

02How is Smartfiber installed?

The current page describes a supporting metal framework with boards screwed directly to it. Project-specific framing, fixings, joints and weather protection require the latest system documentation.

03How is the board cut?

The current guidance lists a diamond-headed spiral saw or a fiber cement knife. Use appropriate extraction and respiratory protection.

04How are joint gaps treated?

The current page refers to mastic or paste. Select a compatible joint treatment suited to movement, exposure and the final finish.
