Health and safety

Current HSE 'CHIP' regulations and EU directive 97/69/EC confirms the safety of Rockwool material wool.

Rockwool RWA45 certifications:

Rockwool RWA45 100mm slab Insulation is certified by Lloyd's register of shipping as non-combustible materials for use on:

Fixed offshore installations
MED classed ships- DTLR MCA approval
These slabs are rated non-combustible in accordance with ISO 1182 and IMO A.799.

When specified for interior wall or floor assemblies, better overall sound control and fire protection are achieved. RWA45 provides increased density that effectively reduces airflow and essentially, sound transmissions. Greater noise or sound control is further achieved when thicker Rockwool and gypsum board are used together. In commercial applications, much of the sound to be controlled is in the low frequency or bass ranges. This noise includes conversation, projection/video equipment, mechanical rooms and ventilation systems. In the lower 1/3 octave bands, Rockwool outperforms glass wool insulation, providing more low frequency absorption when comparing acoustical testing at low frequencies.
