Standard EN Sample
Fibre-cement slates and fittings. Product specification and test methods
Also Known As:
The standard BS EN 492:2012+A2:2018 sets out the technical requirements and control measures for fibre-cement slates and their fittings. These materials are used in various applications, including roofing, internal wall finishes, external wall finishes, and ceiling finishes.
The standard applies to fibre-cement slates with a maximum height dimension of 850 mm for overlapping assembly. The slates are classified based on their bending moment, and different types of fibres can be used for reinforcement as specified in clause 5.1.1.
It is important to note that this standard does not cover calculations for works, design requirements, installation techniques, wind uplift, or rain proofing of the installed products. Instead, it focuses on defining the product specifications, including test methods and acceptance conditions, to ensure quality and consistency in the production of fibre-cement slates and fittings.
