installed must be capable of
long-term support of the total load of
the appliance. Measures should also
be taken to ensure sufficient strength
to withstand the force of
earthquakes, vibration and other
external forces. lasterboard alone is
not considered to be a structural
material. It is not recommended to
rely on plasterboard fixings alone to
support the weight of the appliance.
