Overview

EN 1013:2012+A1:2014 is a European standard from CEN that defines requirements and test methods for light transmitting single skin profiled plastics sheets used in internal and external roofs, walls and ceilings. It applies to single‑skin sheets used alone or assembled into multi‑layer constructions and covers product characteristics, testing, conformity assessment (AVCP) and marking - supporting the EU Construction Products Regulation where applicable.

Key topics and technical requirements

The standard addresses a comprehensive set of product characteristics and associated test methods, including:

  • Visual appearance - surface quality, bubbles, inclusions, edge finish and optional diffusion classification (diffusing / non‑diffusing).
  • Dimensional tolerances and mass per m² - profile and sheet geometry controls.
  • Light transmission and yellowness / colour stability - optical performance and ageing indicators.
  • Mechanical properties - flexural and tensile strength, impact resistance, resistance to deflection and resistance to fixings.
  • Durability and ageing - thermal ageing, UV exposure (xenon / fluorescent lamps) and profile retention (thermoplastics).
  • Hygro‑thermal properties - water vapour and air permeability, and linear thermal expansion.
  • Fire performance - reaction to fire and external fire performance classifications (references to EN 13501 series).
  • Glass‑fibre reinforced sheet checks - glass content, Barcol hardness, coating presence and adhesion.
  • Factory production control (FPC) and AVCP - initial type testing, ongoing FPC, marking and conformity documentation.
  • Test methods referenced - EN/ISO methods such as EN ISO 178 (flexural), EN ISO 4892 (artificial weathering), EN ISO 13468 (light transmittance) and others.

Applications and who uses this standard

EN 1013 is relevant to stakeholders involved in design, manufacture, specification, testing and regulatory compliance of translucent roofing and cladding systems:

  • Manufacturers of polycarbonate (PC), PMMA, GRP, PVC-U and other profiled light‑transmitting sheets
  • Specifiers, architects and façade/roofing system designers selecting rooflights and daylighting solutions
  • Roofing and cladding contractors installing single‑skin profiled sheets or multi‑layer assemblies
  • Test laboratories and certification bodies performing AVCP, type testing and fire classification
  • Authorities and procurement teams requiring compliance with EU Construction Products Regulation

Related standards

EN 1013 references and works alongside other standards, for example:

  • EN 13501‑1 / EN 13501‑5 (fire classification)
  • EN ISO 4892‑2 / EN ISO 4892‑3 (artificial weathering)
  • EN ISO 178, EN ISO 527 (mechanical tests)
  • ETAG 010 (translucent roof kits)

For manufacturers and specifiers, EN 1013:2012+A1:2014 is the authoritative reference for ensuring optical performance, mechanical durability and regulatory conformity of light‑transmitting single skin profiled plastic sheets.
