Describes the design, preparation and application of plaster based on gypsum, cement, cement and lime, for internal plastering on all types of background used under normal conditions.

This British Standard specifies the design, preparation and application of plaster based on gypsum, cement, cement and lime, for internal plastering on all types of background used under normal conditions. It includes plastering onto both new and old backgrounds and the maintenance and repair of existing work. It concerns materials, backgrounds, preparation of the surface to be plastered, choice of suitable gypsum, cement, cement and lime plastering systems, methods of application and inspection and testing of plastering.

Recommendations on gypsum, cement, cement and lime plastering mixes with special properties intended to enhance thermal insulation, fire resistance, acoustic insulation and to increase radiation absorption maintenance and repair are also covered.

NOTE Relevant data are summarized in a series of tables.

This standard should be read in conjunction with BS EN 13914-2 especially regarding surface, requirements, flatness, verticality, angularity, types of finish and smoothness which are not dealt with in this standard.
