AS 1562.1, 2nd Edition – Design and installation of metal roof and wall cladding, Part 1: Metal

AS 1562.1 sets out requirements for the design and installation of self-supporting metal
roof and wall cladding subjected to out-of-plane external actions and in-plane thermally
induced actions, permanent actions on walls and steep roofs and frictional drag of wind and
snow actions.

NOTES:
1 The term ‘metal roof’ is considered to include metal tiles.

2 Stressed-skin design (diaphragm action) is not covered in this Standard. Design and
installation of cladding for stressed-skin buildings should be undertaken using relevant
manuals such as EN 1993-1-3. Information on evaluating bracing capacity of cladding is
given in Appendix E.

3 Some of the design and testing provisions in this Standard may apply to metal faced structural
insulated panels although some of the material specifications for these products are not
covered in this Standard.
