TS EN 1304

TS EN 1304 is the standard for product definitions and specifications for clay roofing tiles and fittings. It addresses clay-based covering units used on pitched roofs, as well as wall cladding and lining applications, where interlocking, overlap, fixing and overall surface continuity are key technical considerations. In general technical terms, this standard helps define what counts as a clay roofing unit and which product characteristics are relevant when evaluating such products.

Product families and where they are used

Clay roofing tiles are typically formed from natural clay that is shaped, dried and fired. Fittings are the complementary shaped components used at ridges, edges, transitions, ventilation points and other locations where ordinary tiles alone are not sufficient. This distinction matters in practice because field tiles and special accessories do different jobs, yet they must work together to maintain continuity of the covering system.

What this standard focuses on

The standard specifies requirements for clay roofing tiles and fittings intended for pitched roof coverings and for wall cladding and lining. It establishes a common technical basis for defining these products and the characteristics that should be considered for them. It does not, from the title and abstract alone, justify adding product-specific test details here; rather, it is the reference point for the product definitions and specification framework associated with this family of clay building products. This listing reflects the TS EN adoption of EN 1304:2013.
