Fibre-cement profiled sheets and fittings - Product specification and test methods; German version EN 494:2012+A1:2015
Faserzement-Wellplatten und dazugehörige Formteile - Produktspezifikation und Prüfverfahren; Deutsche Fassung EN 494:2012+A1:2015
Overview
This European Standard specifies the technical requirements and establishes methods of control and test as well as acceptance conditions for fibre-cement profiled sheets and their fibre-cement fittings for one or more of the following uses: - roofing; - internal wall finishes; - external wall and ceiling finishes. For the purpose of this European Standard, fibre-cement profiled sheets are classified according to their height of corrugation and their mechanical characteristics. This European Standard covers fibre-cement profiled sheets reinforced with fibres of different type as specified in 5.1.1, with and without factory applied coating. This European Standard does not include calculations with regard to works, design requirements, installation techniques, wind uplift or rain proofing of the installed sheets. This standard differs from DIN EN 494:2013-01 as follows: a) The standard has been brought in line with the new EU Construction Products Regulation (CPR) by the addition of a new Annex ZA as well as Clause 6, "Assessment and verification of constancy of performance - AVCP". The standard has also been editorially revised. 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.
