1 Scope
This document specifies requirements for roofing and cladding products used for assembly
into coverings for wall claddings, linings and pitched roofs, made from aluminium
sheet with or without additional surface treatment (organic coating or anodising).
This document establishes general characteristics, definitions and labelling of the
products, together with requirements for the materials from which the products can
be manufactured. It is intended to be used either by manufacturers to ensure that
their products comply with the requirements or by purchasers to verify that the products
comply before they are despatched from the factory. It specifies the requirements
for products which enable them to meet all normal service conditions. Products can
be prefabricated or semi-formed products as well as strip, coil and sheet for on-site-formed
applications (e.g. standing seam roofs).
This document applies to all discontinuously laid and fully supported roofing and cladding products made of aluminium sheets. No requirements for supporting
construction, design of roof system and execution of connections and flashings are
included.
This document does not apply to self-supporting aluminium sheets that are covered
by EN 508‑2.
