LISTING INFORMATION
DESCRIPTION
The non-loadbearing Mada Gypsum suspended ceiling assembly comprises of double layers of 16mm Mada
Plus Fire Resistant (FR) Plasterboards screw-attached to the underside of the suspended ceiling assembly framing
system. The suspended ceiling assembly framing system consists of Mada Wall Angles, Mada Main channels and
Mada Furring channels.

The 60-minute suspended ceiling assembly has been tested in accordance with EN 1364-2:2018.
Full details of the assembly are available in the design listing ref. MGC/GBF 60-09.

FIRE RATINGS
Test Standard Rating Design Number
Integrity (E): 70 minutes
EN 1364-2:2018 MGC/GBF 60-09
Insulation (I): 69 minutes

Note: The fire rating is only valid with the Mada Plus Fire Resistant (FR) plasterboard layer exposed to the fire
from the bottom side with the mineral wool insulation layer on the non-fire side.

Field of direct application of test results:

1. The test results apply to ceiling of any dimension provided that the distribution of hangers is not reduced, and
the distance between the hangers is not increased. The distance between grid members and the load on the
hanger, shall not be increased.
2. The test results are valid for cavities of any height. The test results are applicable to ceilings suspended by
hangers of any length.
3. The test results are only applicable to the inclusion of cables. Pipes, etc. above the ceiling provided they are
installed in such a manner that they give no additional mechanical load to the ceiling.
4. The test specimen was tested without any fittings, so the final assemblies are not allowed to include any
fittings. Addition of any fittings requires further evaluation.

Integrity (E) and Insulation (I): 1 Hour

1. WALL ANGLE (Not Shown): 25mm x 25mm x
0.55mm (leg x leg x thickness) galvanized steel
MADA wall angle is fixed around the perimeter
wall construction using 6 x 40mm (dia x l)
anchors (Ref: MADA Wedge Anchor, not
shown), spaced nominally at 50mm from the
ends and 600mm on center (oc).
2. MAIN CHANNEL: The 38mm x 12mm 0.9mm
(web width x flange height x thickness)
galvanized steel MADA Main Channels are fixed
to supporting steel beams using 6mm threaded
steel rods and C-clamps. Alternative hanger
mechanisms can be used when suspending the
ceiling from a concrete slab provided that the
mechanism is able to structurally hold the
ceiling weight. This must be confirmed by the
manufacturer. The main channels can be spliced
over a length of 600mm joined using M4.2 x
13mm MADA wafer-head screws applied on the
web of the main channel at the splice location.
The main channels are spaced 900mm oc
distance and 200mm from the ends.
3. THREADED ROD and C-CLAMP: The main
channels are fixed to the supporting beams via
the threaded rod and C-clamp with the aid of a
nut and washer.

Alternative hanger mechanisms can be used
when suspending the ceiling from a concrete
slab provided that the mechanism is able to
structurally hold the ceiling weight. This must be
confirmed by the manufacturer.
4. FURRING CHANNEL: The 68 x 22 x 35 x 0.55mm
(web x flange x base x thickness) galvanized
steel MADA Furring Channels are fixed to the
main channels (Item 2) and the wall angles (Item
1, not shown) using M4.2 x 13mm MADA wafer-
head screws. The main channels can be spliced
over a length of 400mm joined using M4.2 x
13mm MADA wafer-head screws. The furring
channels are spaced 400mm oc distance and
400mm to 450mm from the ends.
5. INSULATION: Install a layer of non-combustible
stone wool or mineral wool insulation (min.
thickness of 50mm and a min. density of
40 kg/m3) on the top of the furring channels and
the main channels creating an air-void above
the gypsum board layers.

boards staggered between adjacent layers. The
first layer boards are fixed on to the furring
channels using M3.5 x 35mm (dia x l) MADA
bugle-head, self-tapping screws spaced
nominally 400mm oc along the board centers
and 300mm oc along the board edges. The
screws are fixed 15mm from the edges. The
second layer boards are fixed on to the first
layer boards using M3.5 x 45mm (dia x l) MADA
bugle-head, self-tapping screws spaced
nominally 300mm oc along the board centers
and 200mm oc along the board edges. The
screws are fixed 15mm from the edges.
7. JOINT TAPE (Not Shown): 50mm wide fiberglass
woven joint tape (Ref: MADA Fiber Glass Joint
Tape), embedded within the joint compound, is
applied on the board joints.
8. JOINT COMPOUND (Not Shown): The board
joints on the exposed face of the second layer
boards are pre-filled with MADA Multi-use Joint
Compound. Fiber tape is then embedded into
the joint compound and smoothed over with a
trowel. Once dry, a second application of joint
compound is applied over the fiber tape to
achieve a satisfactory smooth and level finish.
Screw heads are also covered with a thin layer
of the joint compound.
9. SEALANT (Not Shown): Use MADA Fire Guard
Acrylic Sealant from MADA Gypsum Company
and extrude it smoothly to fill the 8mm gap
between the perimeter of the ceiling system
and supporting wall construction.
