European foreword
This document (EN 16508:2015) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 53 “Temporary
works equipment”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2016, and conflicting national standards shall be
withdrawn at the latest by June 2016.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent
rights.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,
Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia,
France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta,
Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland,
Turkey and the United Kingdom.
Introduction
The purpose of a temporary roof and encapsulation construction according to this standard is to protect
the area inside from climatic influences and dust. It is also used to protect the public from effects from
inside.
This European Standard includes rules for structural design, which are of particular relevance to
encapsulations.
Individual countries may have national laws or regulations which are not in line with this European
standard. Information on that can be found in the attached A-deviations.
1 Scope
This European Standard specifies performance requirements and design methods for temporary roofs
and encapsulations.
It is possible to form the constructions in several ways:
— temporary roof which is supported by an existing permanent construction (Figure 1);
— temporary roof which is supported by a scaffold (Figure 2 and 3);
— temporary roof which is supported by another temporary construction (e.g. steel frame);
— temporary wall which is supported by a separate construction (Figure 4);
— encapsulation which is a complete temporary construction including roof, walls and corresponding
temporary supports (Figure 5).
This European Standard sets out general requirements. These are substantially independent of the
materials of which the construction is made. This standard is intended to be used as the basis for
enquiry and design.
2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated
references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document the terms of EN 12811-1 and EN 12812 and the following apply.
3.1
temporary roof
construction intended to cover work activities
3.2
temporary encapsulation
construction intended to encapsulate work activity areas, consisting of a combination of following
elements: roof, walls and supports
Note 1 to entry: For different types, see Figures 1 to 5.

Figure 1 — Example of a temporary roof which is supported by an existing permanent
construction
Figure 2 — Examples of temporary roofs supported by scaffolding elements

Figure 3 — Examples of temporary roofs supported by working scaffold
Key
1 existing support
Figure 4 — Example of a temporary wall supported by a separate construction
Figure 5 — Example of an encapsulation consisting of a complete temporary construction
including roof, walls and supports
3.3
kentledge
material attached to or placed on a structure to provide stability by the action of its dead weight
3.4
support
structure which is to withstand the imposed effects from the construction
3.5
sheeting/cladding
flexible or stiff component, normally intended to provide protection from climatic influences and/or
dust protection
4 Materials
Materials shall fulfil the requirements given in European Standards, where design data are provided. If
European Standards do not exist, ISO Standards may be applied.
This European standard is not intended to prevent the use of existing components made of materials in
accordance with standards that were valid at the time of their introduction.
Materials shall be sufficiently robust and durable to withstand normal working conditions.
Materials shall be free from any impurities and defects, which may affect their satisfactory use.
Additional requirements for some materials are given in EN 12811-2.
This European standard does not intend to prevent the use of non-standardized materials. When
materials are used, whose properties in relation to the intended application (e.g. temperature, ageing,
UV-degradation) are not given in any available standard, an adequate assessment according to relevant
national regulations is required.
If walking on the sheeting is permitted by the supplier of the encapsulation, then it shall be able to
withstand the appropriate actions.
NOTE Material requirements for some sheeting are given in EN 13782.
5 General requirements
5.1 General
The components shall be designed so they can be safely erected, used, maintained and dismantled.
Attention shall be paid to ergonomic considerations.
5.2 Access
Safe and ergonomic means of access to all areas within the encapsulation and to the temporary roof
shall be
