Zinc and zinc alloys - Specifications for rolled flat products for building

This European Standard specifies requirements for rolled flat products for building purposes made from zinc-copper-titanium alloy, in the form of strip, sheet or cut length. It covers products in the range of 0.6 mm up to and including 1.0 mm thickness and from 100 mm up to and including 1000 mm width. This standard does not cover formed or shaped products or products prefabricated by any other means other than cutting or size.

Zink und Zinklegierungen - Anforderungen an gewalzte Flacherzeugnisse für das Bauwesen

Diese Europäische Norm legt Anforderungen an gewalzte Flacherzeugnisse aus Titanzink zur Verwendung im Bauwesen fest, in der Erzeugnisform für Band, Blech oder Streifen. Sie gilt für Erzeugnisse in Dicken von 0,6 bis einschliesslich 1,0 mm und mit Breiten von 100 mm bis einschliesslich 1000 mm. Diese Norm gilt nicht für umgeformte oder profilierte oder sonst in irgendeiner Weise vorgefertigte Erzeugnisse, Zuschneiden ausgenommen.

Zinc et alliages de zinc - Spécifications pour produits laminés plats pour le bâtiment

Cette norme européenne fournit les prescriptions pour les produits plats laminés utilisés pour le bâtiment à partir d'alliage zinc-cuivre-titane, sous forme de bandes, feuilles ou bandes étroites. Elle s'applique aux produits dans les domaines d'épaisseur de 0,60 jusqu'à et y compris 1,0 mm de largeur de 100 jusqu'à et y compris 1000 mm. Cette norme ne s'applique pas aux produits formés ou façonnés ni aux produits préfabriqués par tout moyen autre que la mise au format.

Overview

EN 988:1996 (adopted as SIST EN 988:1998) is a European standard published by CEN that defines specifications for rolled flat products for building made from zinc-copper-titanium alloy. The standard applies to products in the form of strip, sheet or cut length, with thicknesses from 0.6 mm up to and including 1.0 mm and widths from 100 mm up to and including 1000 mm. EN 988 covers only flat, unformed products and excludes formed, shaped or prefabricated items except when they are produced solely by cutting to size.

Key Topics

EN 988 organizes requirements relevant to producers, fabricators and specifiers of zinc flat products. Key technical topics typically addressed in the standard include:

• Material scope: zinc-copper-titanium alloy composition and applicability for building use.
• Dimensional requirements: permitted thickness and width range (0.6–1.0 mm; 100–1000 mm) and associated tolerances.
• Surface quality and finish: visual and surface condition expectations for architectural and roofing applications.
• Mechanical properties and delivery conditions: requirements that ensure suitability for handling and installation.
• Inspection and testing: defined checks and acceptance criteria to verify conformity (e.g., dimensional and surface checks).
• Marking, packaging and documentation: information supplied with deliveries to confirm standard compliance.

(Note: EN 988 sets the framework for these topics; consult the full standard text for exact test methods, tolerance values and certification details.)

Applications

EN 988 is focused on building and construction applications where rolled zinc flat products are used, including:

• Architectural cladding, roofing and façades where corrosion-resistant zinc is specified.
• Flashings, trims and flat stock for on-site fabrication by roofers and metalworkers.
• Manufacturers and mill producers of zinc strip and sheet who need to certify product conformity.
• Specifiers, architects, contractors and procurement teams selecting zinc materials for building projects.

Using EN 988 helps ensure consistent quality, interoperability and regulatory compliance for zinc flat products in the European market.

Related Standards

• EN 988 is part of the broader family of standards for lead, zinc and tin products (ICS 77.150.60).
• Users should cross-reference other CEN standards and national implementations (e.g., SIST EN 988:1998) for regional adoption and any updated editions.

For precise technical details, test methods and tolerance tables, refer to the full EN 988 document through your national standards body.
