BSI standards give recommendations for the design, materials, application, installation and performance of materials and associated fittings and accessories used in the construction of pitched and flat roofs.
They cover rain and wind resistance, durability, drainage, thermal insulation, sound insulation, control of condensation, structural support, fire precautions, maintenance and repair.
The standards are essential reference for designers, manufacturers and installers of roofing products.
BS EN 12588 is a European standard that has been revised to include improved durability, safe handling and environmental management of the product. It specifies the designation; the requirements for chemical composition; surface condition, and dimensional tolerances for rolled lead sheet. Lead sheet covered by this standard is made by the roll deformation process and is intended for roofs, flashings, weatherings, claddings, pre-formed panels, damp-proof courses and similar building work.
A number of changes have been made since the previous edition.
