BS EN 544:2011EN 544:2011 (E) 5 Introduction The performance of a roof covering manufactured from these products depends not only on the properties of the product as specified in this European Standard, but also on the design, ap
27、plication and performance of the roof considered as a whole, in conjunction with the environment and conditions of use. BS EN 544:2011EN 544:2011 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the properties, performance and methods of test of the finished bitumen shingles prior to them being laid o
28、n the roof. It also includes rules for marking, labelling and provides a clause for evaluation of conformity. This European Standard does not include design requirements, installation techniques and roof system performance. This European Standard applies to bitumen shingles where the watertightness
29、of the system is ensured by overlapping, by different adhesive systems or a combination of these, according to manufacturers installation instructions, intended to be laid as covering for pitched roofs and/or wall cladding. This European Standard applies only to bitumen shingles with a mineral reinf
30、orcement, synthetic reinforcement or a mixture of the two. In case of multilayer shingles each layer need to have the same type of reinforcement and same type of coating (ref. to Clause 8).2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this documen
