Roofing and cladding products from metal sheet - Specification for self-supporting products of steel, aluminium or stainless steel sheet - Part 3: Stainless steel
This part of EN 508 specifies requirements for self-supporting products for roof covering, wall cladding, lining, liner tray and tile products for discontinuous laying made from stainless steel sheets with or without additional metallic and/or organic coatings. Sheets intended to be used with insulation and membranes are also covered.
This document establishes general characteristics, definitions, classifications and labelling for 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 dispatched from the factory. It specifies the requirements for products which enable them to meet all normal service conditions.
This document applies to all discontinuously laid self-supporting external profiled sheets for roof covering, wall cladding, lining, liner trays and tile products with the exception of tiles with a surface area less than 1 m2 and produced by stamping. These profiled roof sheets are designed to keep wind, rain and snow out of the building and to transfer any resultant loads and infrequent maintenance loads to the structure.
This document does not cover products for structural purposes, i.e. it does cover products used in structural class III (according to EN 1993-1-3), it does not cover products used in constructions of structural classes I and II (according to EN 1993-1-3) intended to contribute to the global or partial stability of the building structure by providing racking resistance or resistance to permanent static loads (excluding self-weight of the metal sheet).
No requirements for supporting construction, design of roof or cladding, lining, tile system and execution of connections and flashings are included.

Overview
EN 508-3:2021/prA1 - published by CEN - is the European specification for self-supporting roofing and cladding products made from stainless steel sheet. It forms Part 3 of the EN 508 series (steel, aluminium, stainless steel) and covers discontinuously laid external profiled sheets used for roof covering, wall cladding, lining, liner trays and tile products. The amendment prA1 clarifies geometry definitions (e.g., depth, pitch, overlap, bend radius) used in profile figures.
This standard applies to stainless steel metal sheet products with or without additional metallic or organic coatings, and includes sheets intended for use with insulation and membranes. It is intended for manufacturers to demonstrate product compliance and for purchasers to verify factory dispatch conformity. EN 508-3 does not set requirements for supporting construction, roof/cladding design, connections or flashings, nor does it apply to stamped tiles under 1 m2 or to products designed for primary structural roles in structural classes I and II (per EN 1993-1-3); it covers products in structural class III.
Key Topics
- Scope and definitions: clear classification of self-supporting profiled stainless steel products for discontinuous laying.
- Material requirements: criteria for stainless steel sheet and permitted coatings (metallic and organic) used in roofing and cladding.
- General characteristics: properties required to ensure performance under normal service conditions (weather resistance, load transfer to structure, snow and wind exposure).
- Geometry and profiling: standardized terminology and dimensions for profile depth, pitch, overlaps, bend radius and web/side angles (amendment prA1 updates Figure 11 key).
- Labelling and documentation: manufacturer marking and information required for purchaser verification and traceability.
- Exclusions and limits: tiles <1 m2 by stamping, structural-use limitations, and omission of requirements for supporting constructions and flashing details.
Applications
- Product specification and design for manufacturers of stainless steel roofing and cladding profiles.
- Procurement and compliance checks by building owners, contractors and façade specifiers.
- Quality control and factory inspection for coated or uncoated stainless steel sheet products intended for discontinuous laying.
- Guidance when selecting metal roofing/cladding to work with insulation, membranes and typical weather loads.
Who uses this standard
- Metal sheet manufacturers, product designers and R&D teams
- Specifiers, architects and roofing consultants
- Contractors, façade installers and building envelope engineers
- Purchasing and quality assurance professionals in construction supply chains
- Certification bodies and test laboratories
