Foreword
This document (prEN 1024:2017) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 128 “Roof
covering products for discontinuous laying and products for wall cladding”, the secretariat of which is
held by NBN.
This document will supersede EN 1024:2012.
This European Standard is one of the series of standards dealing with clay roofing tiles as listed below:
— EN 1304, Clay roofing tiles and fittings — Products definitions and specifications
— EN 538, Clay roofing tiles for discontinuous laying — Flexural strength test
— EN 539, Clay roofing tiles for discontinuous laying — Determination of physical characteristics
1 Scope
This European standard specifies the methods for determining the geometric characteristics of clay tiles
as defined in EN 1304, Clay roofing tiles and fittings — Product definitions and specifications.

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.

4 Test pieces
The measurement of geometric characteristics are carried out on 10 test pieces, each of which
constitutes a whole tile, except for the measurement of cover dimensions, which requires 24 tiles.
5 Tests methods
5.1 Determination of dimensional characteristics
5.1.1 Individual dimensions
5.1.1.1 Apparatus
The tests are made with a measuring apparatus with a precision of at least one millimetre.
5.1.1.2 Procedure
After removing any surplus clay from the edges, the measurements shall be taken, both transversely
and longitudinally along the centre of the tile unless another measuring position has been specified by
the manufacturer (see Figure 1). The dimensions are expressed to the nearest whole millimetre.

Key
1 tile
Figure 1 — Principle for measuring individual dimensions

EN 1304 specifies to which type of tiles these measurements apply.
5.1.1.3 Expression of results
The arithmetic means of the lengths and widths of the 10 tested tiles and the differences expressed as a
percentage of these mean values in relation to the values A and B declared by the manufacturer shall be
calculated and noted in the test report.
5.1.2 Overlap dimensions (margins)
5.1.2.1 Principle
The mean overlap dimensions are determined longitudinally and/or transversely.
They are measured as indicated in Figure 2.
NOTE Certain tile models can only be measured in one direction.

1.2 closed position
2 mean cover width

5.1.2.2 Number of test pieces
24 tiles are required for the measurements.
5.1.2.3 Apparatus
The tests are carried out with a measuring apparatus with a precision of at least 1 mm.
5.1.2.4 Procedure
5.1.2.4.1 Interlocking tiles
The tiles are laid upside down in two rows on a flat surface, and interlocked with one another so as to
form a stable unit. Certain types of tiles may require laying the right way up.
The tiles are interlocked longitudinally and pulled apart individually to measure the maximum distance
between two corresponding points on the first and the eleventh tile, i.e. L , the maximum length.
Following this, the tiles are taken up, then relaid and interlocked. They are pushed together individually
as closely as possible without lifting the upper tile to carry out the measurement of the minimum
distance (L ) following the procedure described above.
Take again the same measurements, but this time, transversely in order to obtain the values l and l .
