Overview

FprEN 507 is a draft European Standard developed by CEN that specifies requirements for fully supported roofing and cladding products made from aluminium sheet. The document covers products intended for assembly into wall claddings, internal linings, and pitched roofs, whether or not the aluminium sheet has undergone additional surface treatments such as organic coating or anodising.

It establishes general characteristics, definitions, and labelling of aluminium products for roofing and cladding. The standard outlines requirements regarding the material properties, ensuring products meet normal service conditions and performance expectations. FprEN 507 is valuable for both manufacturers, for compliance purposes, and purchasers, for product verification before dispatch.

Key Topics

  • Applicability: The standard applies to all discontinuously laid, fully supported roofing and cladding products made from aluminium sheet-this includes prefabricated elements as well as strips, coils, and sheets for on-site-formed applications such as standing seam roofs.
  • Material Specifications: Details requirements for aluminium alloys, suitability for organic coatings, and anodising processes, referencing specific EN standards for chemical composition and mechanical properties.
  • Surface Treatments: Covers organic coatings (including acrylic, polyester, polyurethane, and more) and anodising, providing guidelines for performance and test methods.
  • Product Types: Specifies minimum thicknesses and tolerances for flat and formed products such as trays, panels, and tiles, supporting proper performance in service.
  • Labelling and Traceability: Outlines requirements for marking and labelling, including essential product and manufacturer data on every package.
  • Quality Assurance: Recommends manufacturers adopt a quality control system based on recognized standards such as EN ISO 9001.

Applications

Roofing and cladding products covered by FprEN 507 are widely used in the construction industry for:

  • Building Envelopes: Offering durable, weather-resistant coverings for external walls, roofs, and linings.
  • Pitched Roofs: Providing lightweight yet robust solutions suitable for various architectural styles.
  • Wall Claddings & Linings: Enhancing both the aesthetics and protection of new and refurbished buildings.
  • On-site Forming and Prefabrication: Allowing flexibility in project execution, as products can be supplied as ready-to-install formats or on-site-formed elements.

Aluminium’s corrosion resistance, ability to be coated or anodised, and ease of forming make it a preferred material for sustainable and long-lasting building envelopes. The standard ensures that both architectural and functional requirements are met for fully supported applications where products are installed over continuous substrates.

Related Standards

To ensure comprehensive compliance and performance, FprEN 507 references and complements several related European Standards:

  • EN 485 Series: For technical conditions, mechanical properties, and dimensional tolerances of aluminium sheet and strip.
  • EN 1396: Specifications and test methods for coil coated aluminium used in general applications.
  • EN ISO 7599: General specifications for anodic oxidation coatings on aluminium.
  • EN 10204: Defines types of inspection documents for metallic products.
  • EN ISO 9001: Requirements for quality management systems in manufacturing and delivery.
  • EN 508-2: Separate specification for self-supporting aluminium sheets used in roofing.

FprEN 507 does not address the design aspects of supporting construction or the execution of roof system connections and flashings, nor does it apply to self-supporting aluminium sheets, which are fully covered by EN 508-2.

Practical Value

By offering a clear framework for the specification and verification of aluminium sheet products for fully supported roofing and cladding, FprEN 507:

  • Simplifies procurement and quality control.
  • Supports sustainable building practices through guidance on durable materials.
  • Enhances safety and consistency in European construction projects.
  • Provides confidence to both suppliers and buyers in the reliability and traceability of aluminium roofing and cladding products.

In this document the performance of the product has been defined in terms of a number of type tests.
The performance of a roof or cladding constructed with these products depends not only on the
properties of the product as it is required by this document, but also on the design, construction and
performance of the roof or the cladding as a whole in relation to the environment and conditions of use.
Metallic coated aluminium sheet can be easily fabricated. It can be sheared, punched, pressed, drawn,
folded, roll-formed without difficulty within the given limits of the properties listed in the respective
material specifications.
Coil coated sheet can be fabricated like metallic coated aluminium sheet in most applications, but
minimum bend radius, design of forming tools, process temperature etc are chosen according to
material properties.
