Minimum design requirements for correct and safe design and installation of sheet metal roof and wall cladding.
Wednesday, 02nd October 2024
The AS 1562.1:2018 provides designers and installers with the minimum design requirements for correct and safe design and installation of sheet metal roof and wall cladding.
What's included
The standard is structured into five sections and five appendices, some of which are informative (not mandatory).
- Section 1 – includes the scope of the standard and definitions of terms used in the standard
- Section 2 – covers the requirements for materials that can used under the standard
- Section 3 – outlines the provisions for the design of a metal roof or wall cladding system
- Section 4 – provides very high-level guidance on the installation of metal cladding
- Section 5 – provides the criteria and benchmarks which manufacturers must consider in testing their systems for compliance with the standard.
Note: HB-39 provides a more detailed guide for the installation of metal cladding and may be more useful for installers of metal roof and wall cladding.
This standard also contains five appendices:
- Appendix A – information, which is not mandatory, about dealing with roof ventilation, water vapour and condensation
- Appendix B – information about water penetration
- Appendix C – information about material properties that covers the compatibility of different metals
- Appendix D – information which must be used to calculate roof pitch and drainage
- Appendix E – covers bracing.
Is the standard referenced in NCC or other legislation?
Yes - referenced in the NCC Volume One Parts B1D4, F3D2 & F3D5 and Volume Two Parts H1D7 providing Deemed-to-Satisfy Provisions for wall and roof cladding for buildings.
