2.2 Modification 2
Add the following paragraphs:

7.5.2.2.2.1 End use applications
The end uses covered by the standardised mounting and fixing are fibre cement slates and fittings used as
external layer for discontinuously laid roof coverings, used as internal and external wall finishes and used as
external ceiling finishes. In these end uses, slates are fixed to timber battens or metal profiles with mechanical
devices in a pattern of double or single overlapping. The side of the slates directed away from the fire is in
contact with a ventilated cavity which is closed by either a rigid or flexible underlayer or a structural wall or
ceiling construction.
7.5.2.2.2.2 Test specimen
Products used for the construction of the test assembly are fibre cement slates with standard dimensions of
length, width and thickness. They are cut to size to accommodate the dimensions of the test assembly. They
include all facings and/or coatings that are normally applied to the product as it is placed on the market.
7.5.2.2.2.3 Test assembly
7.5.2.2.2.3.1 Dimensions
The test assembly is a corner set up made of two timber frame supporting constructions each, with a height of
1,5 m. One frame forms a long wing (1,0 m) the other frame forms a short wing (0,5 m). Further information is
given in Figures 4, 5, 6 and 7.
