Foreword
This document (EN 494:2004+A3:2007) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 128 “Roof
covering products for discontinuous laying and products for wall cladding”, the secretariat of which is held by
IBN/BIN.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical

withdrawn at the latest by September 2007.
This document includes Amendment 1, approved by CEN on 2005-07-20, Amendment 2, approved by CEN
on 2006-08-14 and Amendment 3, approved by CEN on 2007-02-08.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
profiled sheet
component the cross section of which consists of corrugations as in the examples shown in Figures A.1 to A.7.
The corrugations are defined by their pitch a and their height h
3.2
acceptance test
test to establish whether a batch of products conforms to a specification. The test is performed on samples
drawn either from continuous production or from a consignment
NOTE Test methods and specification limit values are specified in this document. Sampling levels and acceptance
criteria are given in 6.3.2.
3.3
type test
test carried out to demonstrate conformity with the requirements of this document or for the approval of a new
product and/or when a fundamental change is made in formulation and/or method of manufacture, the effects
of which cannot be predicted on the basis of previous experience. The test is performed on the as delivered
product, but is not required for each production batch
3.4
acceptable quality level (AQL)
quality level which in a sampling plan corresponds to a specified, relatively high probability of acceptance. It is
the maximum percent defective (or maximum number of defects per 100 units) that for purposes of sampling
inspection can be considered satisfactory as a process average
NOTE A sampling scheme with an AQL of 4% means that batches containing up to 4% defective items have a high
probability of acceptance.
3.5
as delivered
the same condition as the producer intends to supply the product after completing all aspects of the process
including maturing and, when appropriate, painting
3.6
short sheet
sheet having a length less than or equal to 0,9 m
3.7
long sheet
sheet having a length greater than 0,9 m
3.8
upper face
face normally exposed to the weather
3.9
under face
the reverse of the upper face

5 Product requirements
5.1 General
5.1.1 Composition
Fibre-cement profiled sheets and fittings shall consist essentially of cement or a calcium silicate formed by
chemical reaction of a siliceous and a calcareous material, reinforced by fibres. The cement shall comply with
EN 197-1 or with technical specifications relevant in the country of use.
!This European Standard covers fibre-reinforced cement profiled sheets and fittings of type NT (Non-
asbestos Technology)."
The reinforcing fibres shall be one or more of the following forms:
discrete elements randomly dispersed;
continuous strands or tapes;
nets or webs.
Process aids, fillers and pigments which are compatible with the composite may be added.
5.1.2 Appearance and finish
The sheets may be left with their natural colour, or colouring matters may be added in the composition; they
may also receive adherent coloured or uncoloured coatings on their surface.
Variations of the surface appearance which do not impair the characteristics of the sheets as defined in this
document are permitted.
On exposure, the surface and/or its coating will be affected by weathering which may vary with site, location,
aspect, pitch of roof and duration of exposure. Any deterioration in this respect shall not detract from the
minimum mechanical and physical characteristics as specified in this document or from the function of the
sheet as a durable element.
Edges shall be straight and clean.
Sheets may have mitred or pre-mitred corner(s) and/or may be predrilled for fixing.
The fittings shall have a general appearance and finish compatible with the sheets with which they are to be
used. They may be supplied with holes for fixing.

5.2 Dimensions and tolerance
5.2.1 General
The manufacturer shall specify the nominal dimensions.
NOTE See 5.7 for designation and information.
Fittings shall have nominal dimensions and shapes determined by the manufacturer and appropriate to the
corresponding corrugated section sheets.
5.2.2 Categorization by height of profile

5.2.3 Thickness
The thickness of the sheets shall either:
be approximately constant across the width of the profile, as shown in Figure A.8a or
vary regularly from the crowns and valleys to the flanks of the corrugations, as shown in Figure A.8b.
When measured in accordance with 7.2.1.3 the minimum individual thickness for each category shall be as
specified in Table 2.
