Partition boards refer to prefabricated wall panels for non-load-bearing parts of buildings as specified in JG/T169-2016 "Lightweight Strip Boards for Building Partition." These include glass fiber reinforced cement boards (GRC), glass fiber reinforced gypsum hollow boards (GRG), aerated concrete boards (ALC), steel wire (steel mesh) reinforced cement boards, lightweight concrete boards, composite sandwich lightweight boards, and more. Their full name is Lightweight Strip Boards for Building Partition, serving as the primary material for non-load-bearing internal partitions in general industrial buildings, residential buildings, and public construction projects.

Projects involving the use of lightweight partition boards as non-load-bearing interior walls in general industrial, residential, and public buildings fall under the category of lightweight partition wall projects.

The third-generation eco-friendly and energy-saving partition boards, vigorously promoted by the state, offer advantages such as moisture resistance, earthquake-proof and sound-insulating, fireproof and thermal insulation, small land occupation, high strength, and easy construction.
