scope:

This European Standard applies to bitumen shingles, small discontinuous materials, intended to be laid as covering for the fabrication of pitched roofs. This standard applies only to bitumen shingles with a mineral reinforcement, synthetic reinforcement or a mixture of the two. It specifies the properties, performance and test methods of the finished product prior to it being laid on the roof. Two classes of requirements are specified. The two classes have different requirements to glass reinforcement mass, tensile strength, sliding temperature and blistering temperature. - Class 1: Meeting all the European climatic requirements by its properties and performance. - Class 2: Meeting some of the European climatic requirements by its properties and performance.
