Introduction
This document describes the requirements and test methods for light transmitting single skin profiled plastics
sheets.
The physical properties of light transmitting single skin profiled plastics sheets differ from bituminous, metal
[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
and fibre reinforced cement sheets, as defined in EN 534 , EN 506 , EN 508-1 , EN 508-2 , EN 508-3 or
[6]
EN 494 . They do not necessarily have the same span capabilities and alternative fixing specifications are
generally required.
Reference should be made to national regulations and manufacturer literature for requirements concerning
design, storage and installation, including all safety aspects, according to the material.
1 Scope
This document specifies the requirements for light transmitting single skin profiled plastics sheets for internal
and external walls, roofs and ceilings. It is applicable to single skin sheets which are used as a single layer or
when assembled to form multiple layer construction.
It also specifies the test methods and provides for the evaluation of conformity of the sheets.
