Overview

This European Standard specifies the properties, performance characteristics and test methods of finished bitumen shingles prior to them being laid on the roof. It also includes rules for marking and labelling and provides a clause for evaluation of conformity. This European Standard does not include design requirements, or information regarding installation techniques and roof system performance. This European Standard applies to bitumen shingles intended to be laid as covering for pitched roofs and/or wall cladding. The watertightness of the system is ensured by overlapping, by different adhesive systems or a combination of these, according to manufacturer's installation instructions. This European Standard applies only to bitumen shingles with a mineral reinforcement, synthetic reinforcement or a mixture of the two. The Committee responsible for this standard is NA 005-02-05 AA "Bitumenschindeln und Bitumenwellplatten (Sp CEN/TC 128/SC 6)" ("Bitumen shingles and corrugated sheets for roofing (Mirror Committee of CEN/TC 128/SC 6)") at DIN.
