This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s). For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this European Standard. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.
EN 544:2005 (E) 5 Introduction This European Standard specifies the properties, performance and methods of test of the finished bitumen shingles prior to them being laid on the roof. It also includes rules for marking, labelling and provides a clause for evaluation of conformity. This standard does not include design requirements, installation techniques and roof system performance. The performance of a roof covering manufactured from these products depends not only on the properties of the product as specified in this standard, but also on the design, application and performance of the roof considered as a whole, in conjunction with the environment and conditions of use.

This European Standard applies only to bitumen shingles with a mineral reinforcement, synthetic reinforcement or a mixture of the two. This European Standard does not apply to bitumen shingles having a mass of bitumen less than 1 300 g/m2. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this European Standard.
