Full title and description
STB DIN EN 490:1994-05 — Concrete roofing tiles and fittings — Product specifications. This is the German adoption (DIN EN) of the European Standard EN 490:1994 specifying product requirements for factory-made concrete roofing tiles and associated fittings (for assembly into pitched roof coverings).
Abstract
This standard defines terms, product characteristics, dimensional and geometric requirements, strength and durability criteria, sampling and marking requirements for concrete roof tiles and fittings intended for pitched roofs. It is a product-specification standard (not a methods standard) intended to ensure interchangeability, performance and essential product information for suppliers and specifiers.
General information
- Status: Withdrawn / replaced (superseded by later editions of EN 490).
- Publication date: May 1994 (designation 1994-05; commonly listed as 01 May 1994 in adoption catalogues).
- Publisher: DIN (German adoption of the CEN standard EN 490:1994).
- ICS / categories: 91.100.30 (Concrete and concrete products); related classification entries also include roofing (91.060.20).
- Edition / version: Edition 1 (1994-05).
- Number of pages: Approximately 9–10 pages (national listings commonly show 9 or 10 pages depending on language/adoption).
Scope
EN 490:1994 (as adopted by DIN EN 490:1994-05) specifies product requirements for concrete roofing tiles and fittings limited to those types described in the text, for use in the assembly of pitched roof coverings. It covers characteristics manufacturers must meet to declare conformity of factory-made concrete tiles and fittings (dimensions, physical properties, durability/strength, marking and packaging requirements).
Key topics and requirements
- Definitions and terminology for concrete roofing tiles and fittings.
- Dimensional and geometric requirements (sizes, tolerances, profile references).
- Physical and mechanical properties (strength, water absorption, frost resistance where applicable).
- Durability and performance requirements relevant to pitched roof use.
- Marking, labelling and product information to accompany supplied tiles and fittings.
- Sampling and criteria for conformity assessment (factory production control references).
These key requirements reflect the product-specification intent of EN 490:1994 rather than detailed test methods (test methods are generally covered by separate standards).
Typical use and users
Primary users are manufacturers of concrete roofing tiles and fittings, product conformity assessors and test laboratories, architects and specifiers preparing roofing product requirements, building contractors, and standards/regulatory bodies. The standard is used to define product characteristics for purchase specifications and to enable comparison between products.
Related standards
EN 490:1994 has been superseded by later editions (EN 490:2004 and subsequent amendments/editions such as EN 490:2011 and amendments). National adoptions and later DIN/EN publications (e.g., DIN EN 490:2005/2006 adoptions) reflect these updates. Related standards include product test-method standards and national/adopted variants of EN 490 in different languages.

FAQ
Q: What is this standard?
A: DIN EN 490:1994-05 is the German adoption of European Standard EN 490:1994 titled "Concrete roofing tiles and fittings — Product specifications." It sets product requirements for factory-made concrete tiles and fittings for pitched roofs.
Q: What does it cover?
A: It covers terminology, product characteristics, dimensional tolerances, material/performance requirements, marking and sampling relevant to concrete roofing tiles and their fittings used on pitched roofs. It defines what manufacturers must specify and supply for conformity to the product standard.
Q: Who typically uses it?
A: Manufacturers, test laboratories, product certifiers, architects and specifiers, building contractors and national standards bodies use this standard when specifying, producing or assessing concrete roofing tiles and fittings.
Q: Is it current or superseded?
A: It is withdrawn/superseded. EN 490:1994 has later editions and amendments (EN 490:2004 and subsequent updates, and later consolidations like EN 490:2011 with amendments); national catalogs list EN 490:1994 as withdrawn and replaced by later editions. Users should refer to the latest EN 490 edition or their national adoption for current requirements.
Q: Is it part of a series?
A: EN 490 is the principal product specification for concrete roofing tiles and fittings; related EN standards cover test methods, other roofing materials and harmonized product requirements. Over time EN 490 has been updated in a series of editions and amendments — consult the current EN 490 publication for the full series and related references.
Q: What are the key keywords?
