In commercial construction, an acoustic panel without documents is a decoration. Tenders, submittals and green building credits all run on certificates — and one of the most common reasons buyers change suppliers is documentation that arrives late, mismatched or missing. This roundup explains the certificate package MST Acoustics maintains, and how our partners put it to work.
The package, certificate by certificate
- EN 13501-1 B-s1,d0 — European fire classification for our PET wall panels and wood slat systems: limited fire contribution, low smoke, no flaming droplets. The entry ticket for EU commercial projects, issued with test and classification reports.
- ASTM E84 — the North American tunnel test; our panels meet Class B with Class A performance on several PET series, covering US and Canadian submittals.
- ISO 354 absorption testing — reverberation-room data per panel family and thickness, with NRC, SAA and per-octave-band coefficients for acoustic consultants.
- FSC Chain of Custody — certified responsible wood sourcing for slat panel lines, with claims carried on order documentation.
- E1 formaldehyde class (E0 optional) — emission compliance on wood-based products; PET panels are formaldehyde-free by material nature.
How partners use the package
- Tender stage: certificates are submitted with the bid, not after award — increasingly the difference between shortlist and rejection.
- Submittals: technical teams combine our reports with project-specific mounting details into approval packages.
- Green building credits: FSC documentation, recycled-content declarations and low-emission certificates feed LEED/WELL worksheets directly.
- Private label: OEM partners issue datasheets under their own branding with the underlying certificates mapped to their product references.
Our documentation promise
Certificates are issued for the exact products as shipped, maintained current with re-testing, and supplied in full on request — test report plus classification report, not summaries. If a project requires a document variant (translated reports, DoP under the Construction Products Regulation, project-specific declarations), our team prepares it as part of the order, not as an upsell.
Ask our sales team for the document package of any product family before you quote it to a client. We believe the paperwork should sell the panel as hard as the panel sells itself.
