Bitumen shingles with mineral and/or synthetic reinforcements - Product specification and test methods
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 544 standard is a European standard that specifies the properties, performance, and test methods for finished bitumen shingles before they are installed on a roof. It also includes provisions for marking, labeling, and conformity evaluation.
It should be noted that this standard does not cover design requirements, installation techniques, or the overall performance of the roof system. Instead, it focuses on the specific properties and performance of the bitumen shingles themselves.
The standard applies to bitumen shingles that are used to provide waterproofing for pitched roofs and wall cladding. The watertightness of the system is achieved through overlapping or the use of different adhesive systems, as specified in the manufacturer's installation instructions.
Furthermore, the standard applies only to bitumen shingles that have either a mineral reinforcement, synthetic reinforcement, or a combination of both. If the shingles are multilayered, each layer must have the same type of reinforcement and coating.
