Examples of these tiles are given in Annex G.

This part of EN 351 establishes a classification of preservative-treated wood in terms of preservative penetration and gives guidance on a classification of retention. These shall be used as a basis for specifying preservative treatments for particular products.This part of EN 351 provides terminology to be used by the specifier when preparing a preservative treatment specification or product standard. It is not a treatment specification in itself.This part of EN 351 is applicable to the production of preservative-treated solid wood, including glued laminated timber, suitable for use in those service conditions defined by the use classes in EN 335. It does not apply to any subsequent examination of treated wood in service.This part of EN 351 is applicable to the protection of wood against attack by wood-destroying and wood-disfiguring fungi, insects and marine organisms.NOTE Protection against wood-disfiguring fungi is an optional property verified by testing in accordance with EN 599-1.This part of EN 351 does not consider other properties of treated wood, for example odour, compatibility with other materials, such as corrosivity of fasteners. Nor does it consider any properties from the health, safety and environmental point of view.This part of EN 351 does not apply to wood to be treated with formulations which are applied to timber in service to eliminate or control an existing fungal or insect infestation, or the prevention of attack by sapstain fungi, or insects in green timber.Annex A (informatives) provides a decision process for defining preservative treatment requirements.Annex B (informative) gives an example of the marking system.

This document specifies the properties, performance and methods of test of the finished bitumen shingles prior to them being laid on the roof.It also includes rules for marking, labelling and provides a clause for assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP).This document does not include design requirements, installation techniques and roof system performance.This document applies to bitumen shingles where the watertightness of the system is ensured by overlapping, by different adhesive systems or a combination of these, according to manufacturer’s installation instructions, intended to be laid as covering for pitched roofs and/or wall cladding.This document applies only to bitumen shingles with a mineral reinforcement, synthetic reinforcement or a mixture of the two.This document covers shingles with a minimum mass of bitumen of 1 300 g/m2 in case of monolayer shingles and 1 500g/m2 in case of multilayer shingle.In case of multilayer shingles each layer need to have the same type of reinforcement and same type of coating (ref. to Clause 8).

This Part of EN 508 specifies requirements for self-supporting roofing products for discontinuous laying made from stainless steel sheet with or without additional metallic and/or organic coatings.The standard establishes general characteristics, definitions, classifications 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. It 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. These profiled roof sheets are designed to keep wind, rain and snow out of the building and to transfer any resultant loads and infrequent maintenance loads to the structure.No requirements for supporting construction, design of roof system and execution of connections and flashings are included.

This document specifies a test method for pull through and shear resistance of fibre-cement flat sheets for roofing and cladding.The results are also applicable for:- Coated or uncoated sheets manufactured at the same production facility as the tested sheets.- The test method can be applied to textured or non-textured fibre-cement flat sheets. The results of non-textured sheets are only applicable for textured sheets if the nominal minimum thickness of the textured sheet is at least the nominal thickness of the non-textured sheet.- The same type of fixing head or washer assembly where applicable if the diameter of the fixing head or washer is 0 mm to 2 mm larger than in the test.- The Shore A hardness of the sealing washer, where applicable, is ± 5 that of the washer used in the test.- The diameter of the drilled hole through the fibre cement sheet is 0 mm to 2 mm smaller than in the test, providing there is the required clearance hole around the shank of the fastener.It applies only to products as delivered.

This document defines the principle and the methods for the determination of the "degradability coefficient" of rocky material.The degradability coefficient IDG distinguishes the behaviour of certain rocky material and is used to show the change in the geotechnical characteristics (particle size, clay content, plasticity, etc.) in relation to the characteristics seen immediately following excavation.Changes in the particle size occur due to the combined action of climatic or geohydrological elements (frost, soaking-drying cycles) and mechanical stress to which it is subjected. In the case of degradable rocky material, this leads to a fairly significant and continuous reduction in the mechanical and geometric characteristics of the works in which they are used.The two methods developed in this document for the determination of IDG are not equivalent, so any result obtained by this document can refer to the method used.

This document describes the reference method for the determination of the methylene blue value (VBS) in soils and rocks for earthworks.The test is based on measuring the quantity of methylene blue that can be adsorbed by the material suspended in water. This quantity of absorbed methylene blue is reported by direct proportionality to the 0/50 mm ground. The soil blue value is directly related to the specific surface area of the soil particles or rocky material.NOTE The VBS test uses common equipment and calibration as the methylene blue test MB for aggregates (EN 933 9), but the test is applies to another granular fraction (5 mm for VBS and 2 mm for MB, respectively). Thus, the results obtained between the two tests cannot be compared in the general case.

This document defines the principle and the methods for the determination of the "fragmentability coefficient" of rocky material. The fragmentability coefficient IFR distinguishes the behaviour of certain rocky material and is used to show the change in particle size from the moment than the material is excavated through to its subsequent implementation and in certain cases during its whole service life. Changes in the particle size occur due to the structural resistance of the rock being unable to support the mechanical stress to which it is subjected during its implementation and use.
