scope:

This European standard specifies requirements for roofing products used for assembly into coverings for pitched roofs, made from lead sheet. The standard establishes the general characteristics, definitions, classifications, labelling and quality control for the products, together with requirements for the materials from which the products can be manufactured, and is intended to be used either by the manufacturer to ensure that his products comply with the requirements before thay are despatched from the factory or by the purchaser to verify that the products comply when purchased. It specifies the requirements for products which enable them to meet all normal service conditions. Products can be prefabricated or semiformed products as well as strip and sheet for on-site-formed applications, e.g. standing-seam-roofs. The standard applies to all discontinuous laid and fully supported roofing made of lead sheets and strips. No requirements for supporting construction, design of roof system application and execution of connections and flashings are included.
