Overview - EN 534:2006+A1:2010 (CEN)
EN 534:2006+A1:2010 is the European product specification and test-method standard for corrugated bitumen sheets, published by CEN. It defines the technical properties to be verified at factory exit, details sampling and test procedures, and sets out procedures for evaluation of conformity (including factory production control and marking). The standard covers composition, geometry, mechanical and physical performance, durability and fire behaviour for finished corrugated bitumen roofing and cladding sheets.
Key topics and technical requirements
The standard addresses the following principal areas:
Material and construction
- Corrugated bitumen sheets produced from a homogeneous mix of organic/inorganic fibres and bitumen.
- Options: spun-dyed sheets, coloured/colourless surface coatings, granule or flake coverings, mono‑ or multi‑layer constructions.
Geometrical properties (expressed tolerances when tested)
- Length: +1.0 % / −0.2 %
- Width: ±2 %
- Thickness: ±10 % (measured including surface relief)
- Corrugation height: ±6 %
- Corrugation pitch: ±3 %
- Squareness (specified measurement methods)
Mechanical properties
- Bending under downward load
- Impact strength
- Tearing strength
- Classification into category R and category S depending on mechanical performance (R suitable for most roofing climates; S may need special installation).
Physical and durability properties
- Water impermeability, water absorption, mass, homogeneity, proportion of bitumen, slip resistance, load-bearing capacity.
- Durability checks including tearing strength and water impermeability after freeze/thaw ageing, and thermal coefficient testing.
Fire performance
- Reaction to fire and external fire exposure tests (references to EN 13501 series and ENV 1187).
Conformity and factory production control
- Initial type testing, FPC requirements, testing frequencies (Annex A), and provisions relating to the EU Construction Products Directive (Annex ZA) including CE marking.
Applications and who uses EN 534
- Manufacturers of corrugated bitumen sheets - product specification, production control and marking.
- Test laboratories and QA personnel - standardized test methods for geometry, mechanical, physical and durability properties.
- Architects, specifiers and roof/cladding contractors - selecting appropriate sheet category (R or S) and ensuring correct installation guidance is followed.
- Regulators, procurement officers and certification bodies - conformity assessment, CE marking and compliance with EU construction product requirements.

It consists of: strong horizontal bench larger than the corrugated bitumen sheet; four square tubes MSH 60 / 60 / 5 mm with a minimum length 10 % longer than the width of the sheet; six channels 40 / 35 / 5 mm, with a length 10 % longer than the width of the sheet; three supports; three square bars 20 / 20 mm x 40 mm; I-beam HEA 140 x 1 500 mm; hydraulic or electro-mechanical cylinder capable of supplying a force of 10 kN; force receiver, mounted between I-beam and the cylinder; one electronic elongation device accurate to 0,01 mm with a fixed disk of 20 mm on the top; precision metal ruler with 0,5 mm divisions. 7.2.1.2 Procedure
7.2.1.2.1 Set up With reference to Figure 8, the four square tubes are placed on the bench, adjusted to the span of 620 mm and properly fixed to the bench. The corrugated bitumen sheet is placed on the square tubes and adjusted centrally under the cylinder. In the case of an irregular profile, the nearest bottom of a corrugation is always at the centre of the cylinder. The six channels with the three supports are placed loose on the sheet and adjusted. In the middle of each support a square bar is placed as a joint for the I-beam.
The total mass of the preload shall be equal to (60 ± 5) kg. The elongation device is mounted rigid and vertical underneath the test piece. The position shall be exactly in the middle between the two square tubes and at the bottom of a corrugation directly central under the cylinder. After applying the six channels, three supports, I-beam, the force receiver and the elongation device, ensure that there is no gap between the corrugated bitumen sheet and the two central square tubes. If a gap exists, the corrugated bitumen sheet is not suitable for this test and shall be changed. Once this check has been made, the electronic elongation device is set to zero.

Each test piece shall be peeled by hand (or with the help of a cutter) so as to reveal the largest possible torn surface (see Figure 12). Each surface shall be checked to see if there is any area without bitumen larger than 1 cm2. The test is carried out on twelve samples. 7.3.4.3 Results The test is passed if, for all twelve samples, no surface contains any area without bitumen larger than 1 cm2.
Figure 12 — Homogeneity of the product 7.3.5 Water absorption 7.3.5.1 Equipment The equipment consists of a water bath, a drying cabinet and a balance. Demineralised water is also required. 7.3.5.2 Procedure The test pieces shall be put into the drying cabinet for at least 48 h at 70 °C until their mass becomes constant. The test pieces are then weighed to the nearest 0,01 g, this being the mass before absorption. The test pieces shall then be placed horizontally in a container of demineralised water, without protection of the cut surfaces. The temperature of the water shall be (23 ± 2) °C and its level shall be 100 mm above the crown of the corrugations. The test pieces shall not touch each other. SIST EN 534:2006+A1:2010
Results The water absorption is calculated using: absorption = [(mass after absorption – mass before absorption)/mass before absorption] x 100 [%]. The test is passed when all three tested samples meet the requirement. 7.4 Durability 7.4.1 Tearing strength after freeze/thaw ageing 7.4.1.1 Procedure First the frost resistance conditioning procedure (7.4.4) shall be performed on each test piece. After the last cycle, the test pieces shall be stored for 24 h at laboratory conditions and then the tearing strength test (7.2.3) shall be performed. The test is carried out on five samples. 7.4.1.2 Results The result is the mean of the five measurements, expressed to the nearest Newton. 7.4.2 Water impermeability after freeze/thaw ageing 7.4.2.1 Procedure First the frost resistance conditioning procedure (7.4.4) shall be performed on the test piece. After the last cycle, the test pieces shall be stored for at least 24 h at laboratory conditions and then the water impermeability test (7.3.1) shall be performed. After (48 ± 2) h the underside of the test piece shall be examined to see if there is any water penetration. The test is carried out on one sample. 7.4.2.2 Results The test shall be judged to have been passed or failed using visual assessment. 7.4.3 Thermal coefficient 7.4.3.1 Equipment The equipment consists of two small needles, a heating chamber and a slide gauge. 7.4.3.2 Procedure The two needles shall be affixed on the side of the test piece 200 mm apart. The distance between the needles shall be measured with the slide gauge to an accuracy of ± 0,1 mm. SIST EN 534:2006+A1:2010
