CEN/TC 128/SC 4/WG 2 - Fibre cement corrugated sheets

This document specifies test methods for pull through (tension/compression testing for fasteners through the sheets) and shear resistance of fibre-cement profiled sheets according to EN 494. The results are only applicable to the fibre-cement product and not to the complete fixing assembly.
It applies only to products as delivered.
The field of application for pull through resistance is defined in 7.6.
The field of application for shear resistance is defined in 8.6.
NOTE   For design purposes of fibre-cement profiled sheets in the final application, the failure modes pull-out and breaking of the fixings or substructure are not in the scope of this standard. They might become decisive and need to be tested or calculated according to the relevant design standards for fixings (e.g. Eurocode 3 for steel, Eurocode 5 for wood and Eurocode 9 for aluminium substructures) and compared with the results for pull-through and shear resistance.

This European Standard specifies the technical requirements and establishes methods of control and test as well as acceptance conditions for fibre-cement profiled sheets and their fibre-cement fittings for one or more of the following uses:
-   roofing;
-   internal wall finishes;
-   external wall and ceiling finishes.
For the purpose of this European Standard, fibre-cement profiled sheets are classified according to their height of corrugation and their mechanical characteristics.
This European Standard covers fibre-cement profiled sheets reinforced with fibres of different type as specified in 5.1.1, with and without factory applied coating.
This European Standard does not include calculations with regard to works, design requirements, installation techniques, wind uplift or rain proofing of the installed sheets.
NOTE   Some of these requirements can be applied, after agreement, to curved sheets for specific applications.

This European Standard specifies a soft body impact test method for fibre-cement profiled sheets for roofing.
This European Standard applies to fibre-cement profiled sheets conforming to EN 494 and of length greater than or equal to 1,04 m.
It applies only to products as delivered.
NOTE   This European Standard can be applied, after agreement between manufacturer and purchaser, to curved sheets.
