1 Scope
This document specifies test methods for pull through (tension/compression testing
for fasteners through the sheets) and shear resistance of fibre-cement profiled sheets according to EN 494. The results are only applicable to the fibre-cement product and not to the complete
fixing assembly.
It applies only to products as delivered .
The field of application for pull through resistance is defined in 7.6.
The field of application for shear resistance is defined in 8.6.
NOTE For design purposes of fibre-cement profiled sheets in the final application, the failure modes pull-out and breaking of the fixings
or substructure are not in the scope of this standard. They might become decisive
and need to be tested or calculated according to the relevant design standards for
fixings (e.g. Eurocode 3 for steel, Eurocode 5 for wood and Eurocode 9 for aluminium
substructures) and compared with the results for pull-through and shear resistance.
