1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the terminology, requirements and test methods for factory made self-
supporting metal sheets and tiles (for non-structural applications) delivered in the form of manufactured pieces
for roofing and wall cladding and lining.
This standard also covers ceiling (including internal metal sheet) and soffit applications and cassettes (see
Figure 1).
This standard covers self-supporting copper, zinc, steel, aluminium and stainless steel sheet with or without
coatings, e.g. metallic, organic, inorganic or multi-layer (see Annex A). A moisture retaining layer intended to
reduce the fall of droplets coming from condensation may be present on the reverse side of the product.
This standard also includes rules for marking, labelling and evaluation of conformity.
This standard does not cover products for structural purposes, i.e. it does not cover products intended to
contribute to the global or partial stability of the building structure by providing racking resistance or resistance
to permanent static loads (excluding self-weight of the metal sheet).
Requirements concerning acoustical and thermal insulation properties are not considered in this standard.
This standard does not include calculation or design requirements with regards to the works, installation
techniques or the performance of the installed products.

5.3 Release of regulated dangerous substances
For products sold within the European Economic Area, see Annex ZA.
Products sold outside the European Economic Area shall conform to the relevant regulatory requirements on
regulated dangerous substances valid in the country of use of the product.
6 Evaluation of conformity
6.1 General
The conformity of the products covered by this European Standard with the requirements of this standard and
with the declared values (including classes) shall be demonstrated by:
EN 14782:2005 (E)
 initial type testing comprising tests or other means of assessment;
 factory production control by the manufacturer.
For the purposes of testing, the products may be grouped into families where it is considered that the results
for a given characteristic from any one product in the family are representative of all other products within that
same family.
NOTE A family may be formed for only one characteristic or more than one characteristic. Products within one family
for one characteristic may or may not be within the same family in respect of other characteristics.
6.2 Initial type testing (ITT)
6.2.1 General
Initial type testing shall be performed to show conformity with this standard.
Tests or assessments previously performed in accordance with the provisions of this standard (same product,
same characteristic(s), test method, sampling procedure, system of attestation of conformity, etc.) may be
taken into account to reduce the number of checks. In addition, initial type testing shall be performed at the
beginning of the production of a new product type (unless a member of the same family) or at the beginning of
a new method of production (where this may affect the stated properties) on the profile machine and/or the
product itself.
Where the finished product manufacturer buys a base material whose characteristics have already been
determined in accordance with the provisions of this standard and are declared by the base material supplier
(e.g. following an inspection document conforming to EN 10204), these characteristics need not be
reassessed in order to demonstrate conformity with this standard, provided that the production process for the
finished product does not change these characteristics in an unfavourable way. ITT for the characteristics of
the finished product related to the characteristics of the base material itself is given in Table 2 and may be
assessed either by the base material supplier or the roofing/cladding product manufacturer. ITT for the other
product characteristics is given in Table 3.
NOTE The profile process can increase locally the yield strength of the metal. Where the manufacturer uses this fact
to claim a higher yield strength for the finished product, an initial type test will be required.
The base material may be presumed to have the performances stated of them by their supplier, although this
does not replace the responsibility on the finished product manufacturer to ensure that only a base material
having the correct values of characteristics to allow the finished roofing or cladding product to meet the
requirements of this standard are used.
All characteristics in Clause 4 shall be subject to initial type testing, with the following exceptions:
 external fire performance when using the CWFT option, in accordance with 5.1.2 or when deemed to
satisfy, in accordance with 5.1.1 (although measurement may be required to ensure that the product
meets the definitions required for CWFT and deemed to satisfy),
 reaction to fire when using the CWFT option (although measurement may be required to ensure that the
product meets the definition required for CWFT), in accordance with 5.2.2, or when deemed to satisfy
Class A1, in accordance with 5.2.1,
 release of regulated substances may be assessed indirectly by controlling the content of the substance
concerned.
Whenever a change occurs in the product, the base material or supplier of the components, or the production
process (subject to the definition of a family), which could change significantly one or more of the
characteristics, the type tests shall be repeated for the appropriate characteristic(s).
EN 14782:2005 (E)
The results of all type tests shall be recorded and held by the manufacturer for at least 10 years after the end
of production of the product to which they apply.

6.2.2 Sampling for ITT
The choice of the method of sampling shall be as defined in a) or b) below, as appropriate.
a) Random sampling
Whenever practicable, the random sampling method shall be used, in which every base material or finished
product of the same type in a delivery batch has an equal chance of being selected for the sample. The
required numbers of specimens shall be selected from a batch at random, without any consideration given to
the condition or quality of the selected specimens.
b) Representative sampling
When random sampling is impracticable, e.g. when the products form a large stack or stacks with ready
access to only a limited number of products, a representative sampling procedure shall be used.
6.3 Factory production control (FPC)
6.3.1 General
The base material manufacturer shall establish, document and maintain a FPC system to ensure that the
products placed on the market conform to the stated performance characteristics. The FPC system shall
consist of procedures, regular inspections and tests and/or assessments and the use of the results to control
base material and other incoming materials or components, equipment, the production process and the
product.
If the finished product manufacturer buys base materials whose characteristics have already been determined
in accordance with the provisions of this standard, and are declared by the base material supplier (e.g.
following an inspection document conforming to EN 10204), the finished product manufacturer's system
requires only a document check to ensure that the characteristics meet the product manufacturer's
specifications, provided that the production process for the finished product does not change in an
unfavourable way these characteristics.
EN 14782:2005 (E)
Products whose characteristics have not already been determined and finished products, for which the
production process changes characteristics in an unfavourable way, shall be evaluated in accordance with
Table 4.

In this case, the finished product manufacturer shall verify that the inspection document in accordance with EN 10204
indicates that the base material (e.g. coils, sheets) has the characteristics that he needs to produce the finished product.
C
In accordance with EN 10204.
All the elements, requirements and provisions adopted by the manufacturer shall be documented in a
systematic manner in the form of written policies and procedures. This production control system
documentation shall ensure a common understanding of conformity evaluation and enable the achievement of
the required product characteristics and the effective operation of the production control system to be checked.

6.3.2 General requirements
It is essential that the FPC system fulfils the requirements as described in the following clauses of EN ISO
9001:2000:
 4.2 (except 4.2.1 a));
 5.1 e), 5.5.1, 5.5.2;
 Clause 6;
 7.1 (except 7.1 a)), 7.2.3 c), 7.4, 7.5, 7.6;
 8.2.3, 8.2.4, 8.3, 8.5.2.
The FPC system may be part of a Quality Management system, e.g. in accordance with EN ISO 9001.
The FPC system shall:
 address this European Standard; and
 ensure that the components placed on the market conform with the stated performance characteristics;
 comply with the requirements for the characteristics of the finished products related to the characteristics
of the base material itself, as given in Table 4 (also applies to the FPC system of the base material
supplier);
 comply with the requirements for the other product characteristics as given in Table 5.

No testing required for a given profile if the physical dimensions of the product are subject to regular checking.
b
The profile shall be checked directly on the machine at the beginning of each production run and/or new shift. The
following geometrical characteristics shall be checked directly on the machine at the beginning of each run: the height of
the ribs, the radius of the profile, the position of the stiffeners, the distance between two consecutives ribs, the height of
stiffeners of any flat part, webs, the width of the flat part and the cut angle of the sheet do not need to be checked.
c
In the case of a profile machine producing the same profile continuously, a minimum of 2 checks per year shall be
made.
d
This checking does not apply to the length of the sheet, the contraction or bulging, the deviation from straightness, the
profiled edge or the ripple of the side lap.
e
No direct testing of these characteristics is needed. However, the manufacturer shall check, with a frequency, to be
defined in the FPC manual, sufficient to ensure that ITT results remain applicable to all products. When using CWFT or
deemed-to-satisfy, indirect checks of product parameters may be needed.

The results of inspections, tests or assessments requiring action shall be recorded, as shall any action taken.
The action to be taken when control values or criteria are not met shall be recorded and retained for the period
specified in the manufacturer’s FPC procedures. The results of all FPC tests shall be recorded and held by the
manufacturer for at least 10 years.
