Fibre-cement profiled sheets and fittings - Product specification and test methods

This document 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 document fibre-cement profiled sheets are classified according to their height of corrugation and their mechanical characteristics.
This document covers fibre-cement profiled sheets reinforced with fibres of different type as specified in 5.1.1, with and without factory applied coating.
This document does not include calculations with regard to works, design requirements, installation techniques, wind uplift or rain proofing of the installed sheets.
NOTE   Some of these requirements can be applied to curved sheets, after agreement between manufacturer and purchaser.

Plaques profilées en fibres-ciment et accessoires - Spécifications du produit et méthodes d'essai

Le présent document spécifie les exigences techniques et établit les méthodes de contrôle et d’essai ainsi que les conditions de réception des plaques profilées en fibres-ciment et de leurs accessoires en fibres ciment utilisés pour un ou plusieurs usages suivants :
   la toiture ;
   la finition des murs intérieurs ;
   la finition des murs extérieurs et des plafonds.
Pour les besoins du présent document, les plaques profilées en fibres-ciment ont été classées en fonction de leur hauteur d’onde et de leurs caractéristiques mécaniques.
Le présent document s’applique aux plaques profilées en fibres-ciment renforcées à l’aide de fibres de types différents, telles que spécifiées en 5.1.1, avec ou sans revêtement appliqué en usine.
Le présent document n’inclut pas les calculs relatifs aux travaux, aux exigences de conception, aux techniques de pose, aux soulèvements par le vent ou à l’étanchéité à la pluie des produits déjà posés.
NOTE   Certaines de ces exigences peuvent être appliquées aux plaques cintrées, après accord entre le fabricant et l’acheteur.
