Specifies the characteristics, methods of control and test, and acceptance for fibre-cement flat sheets. It covers sheets intended for external applications such as cladding facades, curtain walls, soffits, lost casing, and the like, and sheets intended for internal use such as partitions, floors, ceilings, and the like, with a wide range of properties appropriate to the type of application. This Standard is identical with ISO 8336:1993.

This International Standard specifies the characteristics and establishes methods of control and test as well as acceptance conditions for fibre-cement flat sheets.It covers sheets intended for external applications such as cladding facades, curtain walls, soffits, lost casing, etc., and sheets intended for internal use such as partitions, floors, ceilings, etc., with a wide range of properties appropriate to the type of application. These sheets may have either a smooth or textured surface.This International Standard does not apply to the following products:a) boards of Portland or equivalent cement reinforced with fibrous wood particles;b) non-combustible fibre-reinforced boards of calcium silicate or cement for insulation and fire protection;c) gypsum plasterboard;d) asbestos-cement flat sheets;e) asbestos-cement slates and siding shingles;f) fibre-cement slates and siding shingles.
