Figure 1 — Framework of standards
In this standard the performance of the product has been defined in terms of calculation and a number of type
tests.
The performance of a roof constructed with these products depends not only on the properties of the product
as required by this standard, but also on the design, construction and performance of the roof as a whole in
relation to the environment and conditions of use.
1 Scope
This European Standard specifies requirements for self-supporting roofing products for discontinuous laying
made from copper or zinc-copper-titanium alloy sheet with or without additional organic coatings.
The standard establishes general characteristics, definitions and labelling for the products, together with
requirements for the materials from which the products can be manufactured. It is intended to be used either
by manufacturers to ensure that their products comply with the requirements or by purchasers to verify that
the products comply before they are despatched from the factory. It specifies the requirements for products
which enable them to meet all normal service conditions.
The standard applies to all discontinuously laid self-supporting external profiled sheets for roofing with the
exception of tiles with a surface area less than 1 m and produced by stamping. These profiled roof sheets are
designed to keep wind, rain and snow out of the building and to transfer any resultant loads and infrequent
maintenance loads to the structure.
No requirements for supporting construction, design of roof system and execution of connections and
flashings are included.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.
EN 988, Zinc and zinc alloys - Specifications for rolled flat products for building
EN 1172, Copper and copper alloys - Sheet and strip for building purposes
3 Terms and definitions, symbols and abbreviations
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1 General
3.1.1
self-supporting product
product which will, by virtue of its material and shape, support all applied loadings (e.g. snow, wind, foot
traffic) and transmit these loadings to discretely spaced structural supports.
3.2 Materials
3.2.1
copper
cold rolled copper sheets of grade Cu-DHP, phosphorus-deoxidized copper - high residual phosphorus
NOTE 1 The chemical composition is given in EN 1172.
NOTE 2 The system used for designating the materials specified in this standard is based on ISO 431 and ISO 1190-1.
3.2.2
zinc-copper-titanium
alloy made from zinc grade Z1 conforming to EN 1179, that is 99,995 % minimum zinc content, with addition of
alloying elements and the composition of which is as specified in EN 988
3.2.3
organic coated zinc-copper-titanium
painted, laminated or coil coated (continuously organic coated) zinc-copper-titanium sheet
3.3 Profile definitions
3.3.1
trapezoidal profiled sheet
self-supporting sheet which is designed to allow it to be side and end lapped, the crowns of which may be
rounded and, in addition, the crowns, web and valley may be stiffened
NOTE See Figures 2 to 5.

Figure 3 — Part of typical trapezoidal profile with rounded crowns

Figure 4 — Part of typical trapezoidal profile with stiffened crown and web

Figure 5 — Part of typical trapezoidal profile with stiffened valley
3.3.2
sinusoidal profiled sheet
self-supporting sheet which is designed to allow it to be side and end lapped, comprising a series of arc
shaped crowns and valleys interconnected with tangential webs
NOTE See Figure 6.
Figure 6 — Part of typical sinusoidal profiled sheet
3.3.3
standing seam and concealed fix sheet
self-supporting sheet profiled in such a way that the fixings are hidden within the construction and are not
exposed to the weather
NOTE 1 See Figures 7 and 8.
NOTE 2 The profile shape is designed to allow the formation of side laps on site.
NOTE 3 As these types of roof covering products are used in proprietary roofing systems, no structural requirements
are given within this standard.
NOTE 4 These products are normally designed by testing.

Figure 8 — Typical concealed fix profile
3.3.4
tile profiles
parts of typical tile profiled sheets that can allow the sheet to be side and/or end lapped
NOTE 1  See figures 9a, 9b and 9c.
NOTE 2  The tile profiles may include transverse steps.
NOTE 3 As these types of roof covering products are used in proprietary systems no structural requirements are given
within this standard.
NOTE 4 These products are normally designed by testing.

3.4 Product geometry
NOTE The names for various parts of typical trapezoidal profiles sheets are given in Figures 10 a) and 10 b), with
additional definitions for sinusoidal profiles in Figure 11 and tile profiles in Figure 12.
