This Standard sets out requirements for the placement and installing of roof tiles of the types specified in AS 2049. The installation methods described in this Standard apply only to tiled roofs of buildings that are intended for domestic, commercial or light industrial purposes for wind classifications N1-N4 and C1-C3 inclusive. This Standard applies only to roofs with a pitch of 15° or greater. NOTES: 1 This Standard does not restrict the use of other installing and fastening methods or materials where it can be shown that they are not inferior to the performance achieved by the materials and methods described herein. 2 Where it is intended to install tiles to roofs with a pitch of less than 15°, the tile manufacturer’s advice should be sought to determine weatherproofing requirements. 3 The type of roof construction described in this Standard may not be adequate to resist wind forces in cases where the height of the eaves is more than 15 m above the mean surrounding ground level. In such cases, or in areas where cyclones or high winds are known to occur, the installing and fastening methods and sarking recommendations given in Appendix A are recommended.4 Appendix B includes information on the data normally provided by the specifier and the tile manufacturer, and on the work normally carried out as part of the tiling operation.
