General Information

Abstract

This European Standard specifies requirements for the execution i.e. the manufacture and the installation of cold-formed structural aluminium components made from profiled sheeting for roof, ceiling, floor and wall applications under predominately static loading conditions or seismic loading conditions and their documentation. It does cover products of structural class I and II according to EN 1999-1-4 used in structures.
Structural elements are understood here to mean profiled sheeting, such as trapezoidal, sinusoidal, liner trays or cassette profiles (Figure 1), that are produced by cold forming. Perforated and micro profiled sheeting are also covered by this part.
Welded sections are excluded from this part and are covered by EN 1090-3 except seal welding in low-stress areas.
This standard also covers spacer constructions between the outer and inner or upper and lower skins as well as supporting members for roofs, walls and ceilings made from cold-formed profiled sheeting and the connections and attachments of the afore mentioned elements as long as they are involved in load transfer, it also covers connections and attachments of these elements.
A combination of steel and aluminium structural elements are permitted, e.g. liner trays made of steel, stiffened by profiles made of aluminium. In this case, EN 1090-4 and this document apply.
Composite structural elements where the interaction between dissimilar materials are an integral part of the structural behaviour such as sandwich panels and composite floors are not covered by this standard.
NOTE   The structures covered in this standard can be for example
-   single- or multi-skin roofs, whereby the load-bearing structure (lower skin) as well as the actual roof covering (upper skin) or both consist of structural elements;
-   single- or multi-skin walls whereby the load-bearing structure (inner skin) as well as the actual cladding (outer skin) or both consist of structural elements; or
-   suspended ceilings for interior fitting.

Overview

EN 1090-5:2017 sets the European requirements for the execution (manufacture and installation) of cold-formed structural aluminium elements used in roofs, ceilings, floors and walls. It covers profiled sheeting produced by cold forming - for example trapezoidal, sinusoidal, liner trays and cassette profiles, including perforated and micro‑profiled sheeting - for structures subjected to predominantly static or seismic loading. The standard applies to products of structural class I and II (EN 1999-1-4) and addresses documentation, traceability and on‑site execution. Welded sections are excluded (see EN 1090-3), though seal welding in low‑stress areas and mixed steel/aluminium assemblies are referenced where applicable.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope of components: profiled cold‑formed aluminium sheeting, spacer constructions, supporting members and load‑bearing connections and attachments when involved in load transfer. Composite sandwich panels and floors (dissimilar material interaction) are excluded.
  • Specifications & documentation: execution specification, layout drawings, installer’s documentation, quality and traceability records, and execution documentation requirements.
  • Constituent products: material identification, thickness tolerances, minimum nominal thicknesses and surface protection.
  • Manufacturing controls: cold‑forming, cutting, punching, marking and identification of components.
  • Mechanical fastening & connections: use of self‑drilling/self‑tapping screws, blind rivets, edge/field spacing, and attachment rules for different supporting members (metal, timber, concrete).
  • Erection & site works: site conditions, storage, lifting, laying, direction of lay, inspection after installation, training/instruction for installation personnel and safety on site.
  • Tolerances & performance: geometrical, manufacturing and erection tolerances; functional tolerances; inspection, testing and correction.
  • Durability & safety: surface protection, corrosion protection, cleaning/maintenance, lightning protection, reaction and external fire performance provisions.

Practical applications

  • Specification and QA for manufacturers of cold‑formed aluminium roofing and cladding profiles.
  • Design and installation guidance for structural engineers, fabricators and installers specifying profiled sheeting for roofs, façades, ceilings and floors.
  • Compliance and project documentation for contractors, certifiers and building authorities when using cold‑formed aluminium structural elements under static or seismic conditions.
  • Reference for procurement and contract clauses covering traceability, tolerances, fastening details and on‑site inspection procedures.

Who should use this standard

  • Aluminium profile manufacturers and fabricators
  • Structural engineers and detailers working with EN 1999 (Eurocode 9)
  • Roofing/cladding installers and contractors
  • Quality managers, compliance officers and building inspectors

Related standards

  • EN 1090-3 - Execution requirements for welded aluminium structures
