Overview
This document specifies the technical requirements and establishes methods of control and test as well as acceptance conditions for fibre-cement slates and their fibre-cement fittings for one or more of the following uses: - roofing; - internal wall finishes; - external wall and ceiling finishes. This European Standard applies to fibre-cement slates with a height dimension h not exceeding 850 mm for overlapping assembly. For the purpose of this standard, fibre-cement slates are classified according to their bending moment. This document covers fibre-cement slates reinforced with fibres of different types as specified in 5.1.1. This standard does not include calculations with regard to works, design requirements, installation techniques, wind uplift or rain proofing of the installed products. The committee responsible for this standard is NA 005-02-04 AA "Faserzementplatten (SpA zu CEN/TC 128/SC 4 und ISO/TC 77)" ("Fibre-cement panels/sheets (national mirror committee for CEN/TC 128/SC 4 and ISO/TC 77)") at DIN.
