Draft Designation: DR AS 1735.4:2020This Standard is part of a series of sheet roof and wall cladding which, comprises the following:
AS
1562 Design and installation of sheet roof and wall cladding
1562.1 Part 1: Metal
1562.3 Part 3: Plastic (this Standard)
AS/NZS
1562 Design and installation of sheet roof and wall cladding
1562.2 Part 2: Corrugated fibre-reinforced cement
Plastic roof and wall cladding materials are installed using the normal procedures for other types of building sheets but with certain modifications to fixing techniques because of the inherent properties of the material. The purpose of this Standard is to reinforce general safety rules in relation to sheet installation and to highlight the differences in fixing techniques required for plastic sheets as compared with those used for sheets of other materials.
This Standard is to be used in conjunction with the suite of Standards on plastic roof and wall cladding materials, which comprise the following:
AS
4256 Plastic roof and wall cladding materials
4256.1 Part 1: General requirements
4256.2 Part 2: Unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (uPVC) building sheets
4256.3 Part 3: Glass fibre reinforced polyester (GRP)
4256.4 Part 4: Unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (uPVC) wall cladding and boards
4256.5 Part 5: Polycarbonate
The main changes to the previous edition are as follows:
(a) To develop the Standard as an Australian Standard.
(b) Deletion of Appendices B and C and inclusion of reference to AS/NZS 4389 for
safety mesh specification.
(c) Clarification on the intent of the Standard regarding the application of safety mesh in
relation to the support conditions of the sheet.
The term ‘normative’ has been used in this Standard to define the application of the appendix to which it applies. A ‘normative’ appendix is an integral part of a Standard.
Originated as AS CA3-1935. Revised in part and redesignated as AS CA3.4-1970. Revised and redesignated as AS 1735.4:1975. Previous edition 1986. Fourth edition 2020.
This Standard sets out procedures for the design and installation of plastic roof and wall cladding materials for walls and roofs.
The Standard is primarily intended to apply to the use of plastic roof and wall cladding materials complying with the AS 4256 suite of Standards.
NOTES:
1: The sheets do not contribute to the structural or loadbearing capacity of the structure and due allowance should be made to the surrounding structure to compensate for the opening areas. For applications where structural design requirements must be satisfied, reference should be made to the design and testing provisions of AS 1562.1 for roofing without transverse joints.
2: For use of the sheets in abnormal environmental conditions (e.g. extremes of temperature), the advice of the manufacturer should be sought.
