I'm planning to set up a wall with metal studs and 11 mm OSB and 13 mm gypsum on each side. The things to be attached to the wall are the ceiling battens as well as door and floor moldings.

How is it to screw these into 11 mm OSB? Is it adequate or should an extra layer of OSB be applied between the studs where it will be screwed?

Edit: Durability might be the wrong word. The question is rather whether screws grip well enough in 11 mm OSB or if it needs to be thicker?

Osb works excellently and is basically standard as a reinforcement layer behind plasterboard. You don't need anything else.
 
As Mathias says, it works great. I've done it like that on the entire ground floor.

Ok, thanks for the response. Sounds reassuring.
