Bitumen shingles with mineral and/or synthetic reinforcements - Product specification and test methods

This European Standard specifies the properties, performance and methods of test of the finished bitumen shingles prior to them being laid on the roof.
It also includes rules for marking, labelling and provides a clause for evaluation of conformity.
This European Standard does not include design requirements, installation techniques and roof system performance.
This European Standard applies to bitumen shingles where the watertightness of the system is ensured by overlapping, by different adhesive systems or a combination of these, according to manufacturer’s installation instructions, intended to be laid as covering for pitched roofs and/or wall cladding.
This European Standard applies only to bitumen shingles with a mineral reinforcement, synthetic reinforcement or a mixture of the two.
In case of multilayer shingles each layer need to have the same type of reinforcement and same type of coating (ref. to Clause 8).

Bitumenschindeln mit mineralhaltiger Einlage und/oder Kunststoffeinlage - Produktspezifikation und Prüfverfahren

Diese Europäische Norm legt die Eigenschaften, Leistungsmerkmale und Prüfverfahren für fertige Bitumen-schindeln vor der Verlegung auf dem Dach fest.
Ferner enthält sie Regeln für die Kennzeichnung und die Beschriftung sowie einen Abschnitt zur Konformitäts-bewertung.
Diese Europäische Norm enthält weder Anforderungen an die Gestaltung noch Hinweise zu Verlegetechniken oder zur Leistung von Dachsystemen.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für Bitumenschindeln, die dafür vorgesehen sind, als Eindeckung für geneigte Dächer und/oder als Außenwandverkleidungen eingesetzt zu werden. Die Wasserdichtheit des Systems wird entsprechend den Verlegeanweisungen des Herstellers durch die Überlappung, durch verschiedene Klebe-systeme oder durch eine Kombination daraus sichergestellt.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nur für Bitumenschindeln mit mineralhaltiger Einlage, Kunststoffeinlage oder einer Mischung aus beiden.
Im Falle von Schindeln mit mehrlagigem Aufbau muss jede Lage die gleiche Art von Einlage und die gleiche Art von Beschichtung aufweisen (siehe Abschnitt 8).

Bardeaux bitumés avec armature minérale et/ou synthétique - Spécifications des produits et méthodes d'essai

La présente Norme européenne établit les caractéristiques, les performances et les méthodes d'essai du produit fini (bardeaux bitumés) avant leur mise en oeuvre sur le toit. Elle inclut également les règles de marquage et d'étiquetage et prévoit un article traitant de l'évaluation de la conformité. La présente Norme européenne ne comprend pas les exigences de conception, les méthodes d'installation et les performances des toitures. La présente Norme européenne s'applique aux bardeaux bitumés dont l'étanchéité de la toiture est assurée par recouvrement, par différents systèmes adhésifs ou par une combinaison des deux, selon les instructions d'installation du fabricant, et qui sont destinés à être posés comme couverture de toitures en pente et/ou bardage. La présente Norme européenne s'applique uniquement aux bardeaux bitumés avec armature minérale, armature synthétique ou un mélange des deux. En cas de bardeaux multicouches, chaque couche doit avoir le même type d'armature et le même type de couverture (se reporter à l'Article 8).

Bitumenske skodle, ojačene z mineralnimi in/ali sintetičnimi materiali - Specifikacije in preskusne metode

Ta evropski standard določa lastnosti, delovanje in metode za preskušanje gotovih bitumenskih skodel pred polaganjem na streho.
Vključuje tudi pravila za označevanje, etiketiranje in podaja točko za vrednotenje skladnosti.
Ta evropski standard ne vključuje zahtev za načrtovanje ter tehnik za vgradnjo in delovanje strešnih sistemov.
Ta evropski standard velja za bitumenske skodle, pri katerih se vodotesnost sistema zagotavlja s prekrivanjem, z različnimi adhezivnimi sistemi ali s kombinacijo navedenega, v skladu s proizvajalčevimi navodili za vgradnjo, in ki so namenjene prekrivanju dvokapnih streh in/ali oblaganju zidov.
Ta evropski standard velja le za bitumenske skodle z mineralno ojačitvijo, sintetično ojačitvijo ali mešanico navedenega.
Pri večplastnih skodlah morajo imeti vse plasti isto vrsto ojačitve in prevleke (sklic na točko 8).
