General Information
- Abstract
This document specifies requirements for roofing and cladding products used for assembly into coverings for wall claddings, linings and pitched roofs, made from aluminium sheet with or without additional surface treatment (organic coating or anodising).
This document establishes the general characteristics, the definitions and the labelling of 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 despatched from the factory. This document specifies the requirements for products which enable them to meet all normal service conditions. Products can be prefabricated or semi-formed products as well as strip, coil and sheet for on-site-formed applications (e.g. standing seam roofs).

Overview
EN 507:2026 is a European standard developed by CEN that specifies requirements for roofing and cladding products made from aluminium sheet, fully supported during installation. This standard applies to products used in wall claddings, linings, and pitched roof coverings, whether they have additional surface treatments such as organic coatings or anodising, or are left untreated. EN 507:2026 sets out the general characteristics, definitions, labelling, and material requirements ensuring product consistency and suitability for typical service conditions.
Manufacturers use EN 507:2026 to demonstrate that their metal sheet products are compliant with quality and performance requirements before dispatch. Purchasers refer to this standard to verify product compliance, contributing to safety, durability, and proper function in construction applications involving aluminium roofing and cladding. The standard covers both prefabricated and on-site formed products like flat sheets, coils, strips, and fully supported panels, but does not address self-supporting aluminium sheets or the supporting roof or wall structure itself.
Key Topics
- General characteristics and definitions: Provides standardized terminology and definitions relevant to aluminium roofing and cladding products, supporting consistent usage across the industry.
- Material requirements: Outlines acceptable aluminium alloys and conditions (tempers) suitable for roofing and cladding, including those with organic coatings (such as acrylic, polyester, PVDF) or anodised finishes. Alloys are selected to ensure strength, formability, and corrosion resistance.
- Product types: Covers discontinuously laid, fully supported flat and formed products, including strip, coil, sheet, and prefabricated panels. Minimum recommended thicknesses are specified for durability.
- Surface treatments: Details requirements for organic coatings and anodising, referencing relevant material standards for performance and testing.
- Marking and labelling: Mandates specific product information-manufacturer, product designation, order number, dimensions, quantity, and mass-must be provided with each shipment.
- Packaging, storage, and handling: Provides guidelines to prevent damage and maintain aesthetics during transport and warehousing, including ventilation and protection from moisture.
- Testing and compliance: Describes the sampling, testing, and quality control systems, highlighting alignment with EN 1396 and EN 485 standards and the importance of inspection documentation for traceability.
- Exclusions: Explicitly excludes requirements for the supporting structure, design of the roofing system, execution of connections, and self-supporting aluminium sheets, which are addressed in EN 508-2.
Applications
EN 507:2026 is instrumental for:
- Manufacturers producing aluminium sheet roofing and cladding products seeking to demonstrate conformity to European regulations and quality expectations.
- Purchasers and project specifiers evaluating product suitability for building envelopes, ensuring they meet necessary strength, durability, and corrosion resistance standards for their intended use.
- Construction professionals assembling wall claddings, linings, and pitched roofs, ensuring components are labeled and documented as compliant for reliable installation.
- Quality assurance teams implementing inspection, marking, and packaging procedures aligned with industry best practices.
- Architects and designers specifying aluminium roofing and cladding systems for buildings-commercial, residential, or industrial-that require longevity, lightweight construction, and aesthetic flexibility through surface treatments.
Related Standards
To ensure comprehensive compliance and optimal performance, EN 507:2026 should be used in conjunction with related standards, including:
- EN 485 series: Aluminium and aluminium alloys - Technical conditions, mechanical properties, and tolerances.
- EN 1396: Aluminium and aluminium alloys - Specifications for coil coated sheet and strip.
- EN ISO 7599: Specifications for anodic oxidation coatings on aluminium.
- EN 10204: Metallic products - Types of inspection documents.
- EN ISO 9001: Quality management systems - Requirements for continuous product quality assurance.
- EN 508-2: Roofing products from metal sheet - Specification for self-supporting aluminium products (for applications where products are not fully supported).
Implementing EN 507:2026 ensures high-quality, durable, and reliable aluminium roofing and cladding solutions, contributing to the longevity and safety of building envelopes across Europe.

In this document the performance of the product has been defined in terms of a number of type tests.
The performance of a roof or cladding constructed with these products depends not only on the
properties of the product as it is required by this document, but also on the design, construction and
performance of the roof or the cladding as a whole in relation to the environment and conditions of use.
Metallic coated aluminium sheet can be easily fabricated. It can be sheared, punched, pressed, drawn,
folded, roll-formed without difficulty within the given limits of the properties listed in the respective
material specifications.
Coil coated sheet can be fabricated like metallic coated aluminium sheet in most applications, but
minimum bend radius, design of forming tools, process temperature etc are chosen according to
material properties.
