Roofing products of metal sheet - Specification for self-supporting products of copper or zinc sheet

This European Standard specifies requirements for self-supporting roofing products for discontinuous laying made from copper or zinc-copper-titanium alloy sheet with or without additional organic coatings.
The standard establishes general characteristics, definitions and labelling for 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. It specifies the requirements for products which enable them to meet all normal service conditions.
The standard applies to all discontinuously laid self-supporting external profiled sheets for roofing with the exception of tiles with a surface area less than 1 m2 and produced by stamping. These profiled roof sheets are designed to keep wind, rain and snow out of the building and to transfer any resultant loads and infrequent maintenance loads to the structure.
No requirements for supporting construction, design of roof system and execution of connections and flashings are included.

Dacheindeckungsprodukte aus Metallblech - Festlegungen für selbsttragende Bedachungselemente aus Kupfer- oder Zinkblech

Diese Europäische Norm legt Anforderungen an selbsttragende Dacheindeckungsprodukte zur überlappenden
Verlegung fest, die aus Kupfer oder Zink-Kupfer-Titanlegierungsblech, mit oder ohne zusätzliche
organische Beschichtung, gefertigt wurden.
Die Norm legt die allgemeinen Merkmale, Definitionen und die Beschriftung für die Produkte fest sowie die
Anforderungen an die Werkstoffe, aus denen die Produkte hergestellt werden können. Sie ist dafür bestimmt,
entweder vom Hersteller verwendet zu werden, um sicherzustellen, dass seine Produkte den Anforderungen
entsprechen, oder vom Käufer, um zu überprüfen, ob die Produkte den Anforderungen entsprechen, bevor sie
das Werk verlassen. Die Norm legt die Anforderungen an Produkte fest, unter denen die Produkte allen
normalen Einsatzbedingungen gerecht werden können.
Die Norm gilt für alle außen verwendeten, überlappend verlegten, selbsttragenden Profilbleche, sie gilt nicht
für Dachpfannen mit einer Oberfläche < 1 m2 und gepresste Dachpfannen. Diese Profilbleche zur Dacheindeckung
sind so ausgelegt, dass sie das Eindringen von Wind, Regen und Schnee in das Gebäude verhindern
und dass alle daraus und alle aus nicht ständig durchgeführten Instandhaltungsarbeiten resultierenden
Lasten auf das Bauwerk übertragen werden.
Anforderungen an die Unterkonstruktion, die Konstruktion des Dachsystems und an die Ausführung der
Verbindungen und an Kehlbleche sind nicht Gegenstand dieser Norm.

Produits de couverture en tôle métallique - Spécification pour les plaques de couverture en tôle de cuivre ou de zinc

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les prescriptions relatives aux plaques de couverture pour pose en
discontinu en tôle de cuivre ou d'alliage zinc-cuivre-titane, avec ou sans revêtement organique
supplémentaire.
La norme donne les caractéristiques générales, les définitions et l'étiquetage applicables aux produits, de
même que les prescriptions relatives aux matériaux à partir desquels les produits peuvent être fabriqués. Elle
est destinée à être utilisée soit par des fabricants en vue de démontrer que leurs produits sont conformes aux
prescriptions, soit par des acheteurs pour vérifier que les produits sont conformes avant leur expédition de
l’usine. Elle spécifie les prescriptions relatives aux produits pour leur permettre de répondre à toutes les
conditions normales en service.
La norme s'applique à toutes les plaques profilées extérieures de couverture posées en discontinu à
l'exception des tuiles de surface inférieure à 1 m² et produites par estampage. Ces plaques profilées sont
conçues pour empêcher le vent, la pluie et la neige de pénétrer dans le bâtiment et pour transmettre à la
structure porteuse, les charges qui en résultent ainsi que les charges non permanentes dues aux opérations
d'entretien.
Elle ne comporte aucune exigence relative à la structure porteuse, à la conception du système de toiture et à
la réalisation des assemblages et des finitions.

Overview

EN 506:2008 - Roofing products of metal sheet - Specification for self-supporting products of copper or zinc sheet is a CEN European Standard that sets requirements for self-supporting roofing products made from copper (Cu‑DHP) or zinc‑copper‑titanium alloy (Z1) with or without organic coatings. It applies to discontinuously laid, external profiled metal sheets (trapezoidal, sinusoidal and similar profiles) used to keep wind, rain and snow out of buildings and to transfer loads to structural supports. The standard does not cover supporting constructions, roof system design, connections or flashings, nor stamped tiles under 1 m².

Key topics and requirements

• Materials: Acceptable base metals (Cu‑DHP copper; zinc‑copper‑titanium alloys per EN 988) and use of organic coatings (painted, laminated, coil-coated).
• Definitions and product classification: Clear definitions for self‑supporting products, profile types (trapezoidal, sinusoidal, tiles) and terminology used for roofing profiles.
• Mechanical performance: Requirements for mechanical resistance and structural calculation methods to ensure products meet normal service conditions (wind, snow, maintenance loads).
• Dimensions and tolerances: Detailed dimensional specifications and tolerances for profiles, cover widths, pitch, radii, straightness, squareness and lengths (Annex A).
• Testing: Material and structural test methods, including procedures for concentrated load testing (Annex B) and type tests to verify conformity.
• Marking, labelling and packaging: Requirements for product identification, labelling, packaging, transport, storage and handling to ensure traceability and factory compliance.
• Designation and documentation: How manufacturers should designate products and provide supporting documentation for purchasers to verify conformity before dispatch.

Applications

• Specification is intended for use by manufacturers, roofing contractors, specifiers, architects, and purchasers who need to:
  • Design and produce self‑supporting profiled metal roofing elements for discontinuous laying.
  • Verify product conformity at the factory prior to delivery.
  • Ensure long‑term performance under normal environmental and service loads.
• Typical applications include metal roofing systems on industrial, commercial and residential buildings where discrete structural supports carry profiled sheets.

Related standards

• EN 1172 - Copper and copper alloys: sheet and strip for building purposes (material reference).
• EN 988 - Zinc and zinc alloys: specifications for rolled flat products for building (zinc‑copper‑titanium reference).

Figure 1 — Framework of standards
In this standard the performance of the product has been defined in terms of calculation and a number of type
tests.
The performance of a roof constructed with these products depends not only on the properties of the product
as required by this standard, but also on the design, construction and performance of the roof as a whole in
relation to the environment and conditions of use.
1 Scope
This European Standard specifies requirements for self-supporting roofing products for discontinuous laying
made from copper or zinc-copper-titanium alloy sheet with or without additional organic coatings.
The standard establishes general characteristics, definitions and labelling for 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. It specifies the requirements for products
which enable them to meet all normal service conditions.
The standard applies to all discontinuously laid self-supporting external profiled sheets for roofing with the
exception of tiles with a surface area less than 1 m and produced by stamping. These profiled roof sheets are
designed to keep wind, rain and snow out of the building and to transfer any resultant loads and infrequent
maintenance loads to the structure.
No requirements for supporting construction, design of roof system and execution of connections and
flashings are included.
