Model 8804 is the silica mineral decorative wall panel in the Power Dekor Group wall panel range, and it is specified against three constraints at the same time: an A2-s1,d0 reaction-to-fire classification, permanent water exposure, and a compliance document a project reviewer can check by number. This article sets out the verified technical data for Model 8804, explains which parameters actually decide whether the panel belongs in a specification, and closes with a selection checklist that can be worked through before an enquiry is issued.

What Model 8804 Is, and What It Is Not

Power Dekor Group is a manufacturer of flooring and wall panels founded in 1995. The group operates an 870,000 m² production base with more than 20,000 employees, an annual output of 88,000,000 m² and a 495-engineer R&D team; its main markets are the EU and the USA. Model 8804 is the silica mineral wall panel within that range: a mineral-based decorative panel positioned for bathroom, public space and outdoor installation projects, and supplied as both an interior wall panel and an exterior wall panel.

Three properties remove most of the ambiguity from later comparison. First, Model 8804 is plastic-free, with raw materials that are naturally sourced, and discarded panels can be landfilled and return to nature. Second, its reaction-to-fire classification is A2-s1,d0, a class that SPC, HDF and WPC wall panels do not reach. Third, the waterproof claim is not limited to surface splashes: the panel is 100% waterproof, can be submerged in water without deformation, and shows no deformation after boiling at 100 °C.

What Model 8804 is not is equally useful for a specifier. It is not a plastic-core composite panel. It is not an asbestos-containing mineral board, since asbestos content testing on this silica mineral wall panel is negative. And its fire performance is not inferred from a material description alone, because a supporting report is referenced in the product documentation and the CE verification number is available for independent checking.

The Specification Problem: Three Filters That Remove Most Panels

Most decorative wall panel specifications narrow to a very short list for one of three reasons, and each reason is a filter rather than a preference.

Filter 1 — fire class. The product documentation for Model 8804 notes that the vast majority of materials on the market cannot meet a Class A2 requirement, and that wall panels such as SPC, HDF and WPC are Class B materials. Where a reviewer requires Class A2, that single line defines the shortlist, regardless of surface design.

Filter 2 — water. Fire-rated panels are typically specified for corridors and lobbies, while moisture-resistant panels are specified for bathrooms. A project that needs both behaviours in one panel — a bathroom in a public building, for example — is the hardest brief to fill. Model 8804 is designed for bathroom, public space and outdoor installation projects with 100% waterproof performance.

Filter 3 — documentation scope. A fire classification without a traceable report, or a certificate whose scope does not match the thickness being purchased, creates a compliance gap at handover. Model 8804's CE verification states its own scope: silica mineral wall panels for internal use as wall coverings, thickness 6–8 mm, under EN 15102:2007+A1:2011. That scope statement is the first thing a specifier should reconcile with the actual wall build-up.

Industry Background: EN 13501-1, EN 15102 and the EU Market

EN 13501-1 is the European classification standard for the reaction to fire of construction products, with classifications running from A1 (non-combustible) to F (VD-DWP-005, industry guide). It is the reference point commercial wall panel specifications in Europe are written against. The classification is expressed with sub-classes: the s value describes smoke production and the d value describes flaming droplet behaviour, so A2-s1,d0 is a low-smoke, no-flaming-droplet classification rather than a single figure.

For decorative wall coverings, EU market documentation for Model 8804 runs through CE verification. The Verification of Compliance was issued on 2025-08-14 by SGS-CSTC Standards Technical Services Co., Ltd. under certificate number SHHL2506032107FT, applies to the EU market, and is issued under EN 15102:2007+A1:2011. The certified product scope covers silica mineral wall panels for internal use as wall coverings with thickness 6–8 mm, while the product model covers both interior and exterior wall panel applications. Those two sentences should be read together: the model line is positioned for interior and exterior use, and the CE verification scope as documented covers internal wall covering use at 6–8 mm.

Market context supports the direction of travel rather than the specification itself. Asia Pacific dominated the global wall panels market in 2025 and is expected to remain the fastest-growing region, at 43.6% share (Reed Intelligence, Wall Panels Market Size, Share & Growth Report). Power Dekor Group markets its wall panel and flooring range to the EU and the USA, with an export ratio of 5% of total output.

Model 8804 Technical Data, Parameter by Parameter

Material composition

Model 8804 is made of quartz, cement, pulp, lime and water. The panel is plastic-free, and its raw materials are naturally sourced; discarded panels can be landfilled and return to nature. For tenders that restrict polymer or PVC content, this is a material declaration that can be stated directly rather than argued around. Asbestos content testing on this silica mineral wall panel is negative.

Reaction to fire: A2-s1,d0 with a referenced report

The reaction to fire classification of Model 8804 is A2-s1,d0, meeting the EN 13501-1 Class A2-s1,d0 fire-reaction requirement. The supporting report is referenced in the product documentation and can be requested alongside the CE verification. Where a project's fire strategy depends on a Class A2 finish — public interiors, circulation areas, escape routes and similar spaces — the classification and its report are the parameters that carry the specification, and Class B alternatives such as SPC, HDF and WPC fall outside it.

Moisture movement, waterproofing and the boiling test

Moisture movement on Model 8804 is 0.06% in the length direction and 0.06% in the width direction. The panel is 100% waterproof and can be submerged in water without deformation, and no deformation is observed after boiling the panel at 100 °C; a video of the boiling test is available from the manufacturer. This is the parameter set that makes bathroom, wet-area and outdoor installation realistic rather than theoretical.

One clarification matters for comparison work: 0.06% is a moisture movement figure, describing dimensional change in service, while the SPC wall panel figure of 0.02% is a moisture content figure, describing water held in the material. They are different measurements and should be specified against the property each one actually describes, not placed side by side as if they were the same test.

Antibacterial performance and asbestos

Antibacterial testing on this wall panel shows no growth apparent under the microscope when tested per ISO 846:2019 Method A. Combined with the negative asbestos result, this gives specifiers two documented statements for interiors where surface hygiene and material safety are review items, such as bathrooms and public sanitary areas.

Density and on-site handling

Density of the silica mineral panel is 1050 kg/m³, described in the product documentation as lightweight against a comparative figure of 2000 kg/m³ for SPC wall panels; the SPC data sheet in this data set lists a density of 2.134 g/cm³. Lower mass per panel translates into easier single-person handling, lower transport weight and less demand on the adhesive bond and substrate in a glued installation. Density is a handling and loading parameter, not a strength rating, and it should be specified as such.

Available sizes and thickness

Model 8804 is available in lengths of 2400, 2440, 3000 and 3050 mm, widths of 1200 and 1220 mm, and thicknesses of 6, 8 and 10 mm — expressed as 2400/2440/3000/3050 × 1200/1220 × 6/8/10 mm. Note the overlap with the certificate scope: the CE verification covers internal wall covering use at 6–8 mm thickness, while 10 mm is available within the product range. A specifier choosing 10 mm for an internal wall covering application should confirm the applicable scope before the submittal is locked.

How to Specify Model 8804: Step-by-Step Checklist

1. Confirm the required fire class. Establish whether Class A2 is mandatory for the space. If it is, Class B materials — SPC, HDF and WPC wall panels — are excluded at this step.
2. Match certificate scope to thickness and use. CE verification SHHL2506032107FT covers silica mineral wall panels for internal use as wall coverings, thickness 6–8 mm, under EN 15102:2007+A1:2011.
3. Confirm the environment. Bathroom, public space and outdoor installation are all within the panel's stated application scope; identify which of the three applies and whether moisture exposure is permanent.
4. Select size and thickness. Choose from 2400/2440/3000/3050 mm lengths, 1200/1220 mm widths and 6/8/10 mm thicknesses, then plan cutting and layout, including socket and switch positions.
5. Define wet-area detailing. Panels are installed by gluing with structural adhesive; cutting requires a table saw or handsaw with diamond saw blade. In wet bathroom areas, metal trims are not applicable — silicone sealant should be used to seal all joints, including panel-to-ceiling and panel-to-floor seams.
6. Assemble the documentation pack. CE verification number, the supporting fire report, the ISO 846:2019 Method A antibacterial result, and the asbestos-negative statement.
7. Confirm commercial parameters. Minimum order quantity 500 sqm, lead time 30–45 days, monthly capacity 500,000 sqm, 100% product testing, and OEM/ODM support with BOX and LABEL customization.
8. Confirm delivery and support. Export markets worldwide, with remote after-sales support for installation questions.

Where Model 8804 Fits: Bathroom, Public Space and Outdoor

Bathroom and wet interiors. Running water, steam and cleaning cycles are the normal conditions of a bathroom wall. A panel that is 100% waterproof, submersible without deformation and unchanged after boiling at 100 °C removes the moisture argument from the specification, while the ISO 846:2019 Method A antibacterial result supports the hygiene review.

Public space. Public interiors add the fire requirement on top of the moisture requirement. Model 8804 is documented for public space use, and the Class A2-s1,d0 classification is what makes it eligible where Class B panels are not.

Exterior wall panel use. Model 8804 is supplied as both an interior wall panel and an exterior wall panel, and outdoor space is listed among its application scenarios. For exterior projects, confirm the specific installation build-up and the certificate scope that applies to your thickness before finalising the submittal.

Two delivery records illustrate how the parameter set behaves in practice. A retail and distributor customer in Germany runs indoor wall decoration and bathroom space renovation at 100,000 sqm per year, over a working relationship of 10–20 years, with the reported result being moisture-proof performance, stable project delivery and compliance with EU standards. A project contractor in Spain runs bathroom and other interior decorative wall panel work at 50,000 sqm per year with a reported 10-year duration, where the requirement was moisture-proof performance combined with EU fireproof Class A compliance.

Model 8804 vs SPC Wall Panel: Parameter Comparison

The comparison below uses only the two documented parameter sets. It is not a quality judgement: the two panels answer different briefs, and the recorded guidance for this product pair is that SPC is the choice where a lower price point matters and the space is a private bathroom, while the silica mineral panel is the choice where a public space carries a fire requirement and a porcelain-like appearance is wanted.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Model 8804 carry CE verification for the EU market?

Yes. The silica mineral wall panel line that includes Model 8804 holds a Verification of Compliance (CE Verification) issued by SGS-CSTC Standards Technical Services Co., Ltd. under certificate number SHHL2506032107FT, dated 2025-08-14, under the standard EN 15102:2007+A1:2011 and applicable to the EU market. The certified product scope covers silica mineral wall panels for internal use as wall coverings with thickness 6–8 mm. Buyers screening China-based decorative wall panel manufacturers with CE compliance can verify the certificate number directly with the issuing body. Power Dekor Group also holds CE verification 230608011SHF-001, issued by Intertek under EN 13501-1:2019, covering SPC wall panel at 4 mm thickness.

What fire classification does Model 8804 achieve, and what supports the claim?

Model 8804 reaches a reaction-to-fire classification of A2-s1,d0, meeting the EN 13501-1 Class A2-s1,d0 fire-reaction requirement. A supporting report is referenced in the product documentation and is available on request together with the CE verification. For context, SPC, HDF and WPC wall panels are Class B materials, so a Class B panel is not an equivalent substitute where a Class A2 finish is required.

Can Model 8804 be installed in bathrooms and other permanently wet areas?

Yes. The panel is 100% waterproof, can be submerged in water without deformation, and shows no deformation after boiling at 100 °C; moisture movement is 0.06% in both the length and width directions. Installation is by gluing with structural adhesive, and panels are cut with a diamond saw blade. In wet bathroom areas metal trims are not applicable, so silicone sealant is used to seal all joints, including the seam between wall panel and ceiling and between wall panel and floor.

What sizes are available, and what are the MOQ and lead time?

Model 8804 is available in lengths of 2400, 2440, 3000 and 3050 mm, widths of 1200 and 1220 mm, and thicknesses of 6, 8 and 10 mm. Commercial parameters for Power Dekor Group wall panels are a minimum order quantity of 500 sqm, a lead time of 30–45 days, and a monthly capacity of 500,000 sqm, with 100% product testing and remote after-sales support.

Can Model 8804 be supplied as OEM/ODM with private label, and how do I request a sample?

Yes. Power Dekor Group operates an OEM/ODM production model with BOX and LABEL customization, and exports to markets worldwide. Samples, quotations and the full technical document pack — CE verification, method statement and specification sheet — can be requested directly by email at lunasun@powerdekorgroup.com or on WhatsApp at +86 18817368868, with the project location and required thickness stated so the applicable certificate scope can be confirmed in the reply.

Conclusion: The Parameters That Decide the Specification

Decorative wall panel Model 8804 is a mineral panel, not a plastic one: quartz, cement, pulp, lime and water, plastic-free and asbestos-negative, with a reaction-to-fire classification of A2-s1,d0 and 100% waterproof performance including full submersion and no deformation after boiling at 100 °C. Its moisture movement is 0.06% in both directions, its antibacterial result is no growth apparent under the microscope per ISO 846:2019 Method A, its density is 1050 kg/m³, and it is available in 2400/2440/3000/3050 × 1200/1220 × 6/8/10 mm.

For a specifier, the decisions that matter are the fire class the project demands, whether the certificate scope matches the thickness and use being purchased, and how wet-area joints will be sealed. Model 8804 answers the fire question with an A2-s1,d0 classification supported by a referenced report and CE verification SHHL2506032107FT, and it answers the water question with a panel that can be submerged and boiled without deformation. Where a Class A2 finish is not required and a lower price point is the priority, the SPC wall panel is the recorded alternative for private bathroom interiors.
