BS EN 506 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.
BS EN 506 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.
BS EN 506 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 m2 and produced by stamping.
No requirements for supporting construction, design of roof system and execution of connections and flashings are included.
