This Standard is the second part in a series on sheet roof and wall cladding Standards. To date the series comprises the following:
AS 1562 Design and installation of sheet roof and wall cladding
AS 1562.1 Part 1: Metal
AS/NZS 1562.2 Part 2: Corrugated fibre-reinforced cement (this Standard)
AS/NZS 1562.3 Part 3: Plastic

Additional part under consideration is as follows:

Part 4: Methods of testing sheet roof and wall cladding

The objective of this Standard is to provide the manufacturers, specifiers and installers of corrugated fibre-reinforced cement roof and wall cladding with the specifications covering the performance, application and installation of such corrugated products for use in
domestic, commercial and industrial applications.

The main changes of this revision to the previous edition are as follows:
(a) Develop it as a Joint Australian/New Zealand Standard.
(b) Amalgamate AS 1639 — 1990 into the AS/NZS 1562 series.
(c) Update the Standard to include newly developed technology and information.

The terms ‘normative’ and ‘informative’ have been used in this Standard to define the
application of the appendix to which they apply. A ‘normative’ appendix is an integral part of a Standard, whereas an ‘informative’ appendix is only for information and guidance.

Originated as part of AS CA44—1969. Final edition AS 1639—1990. Jointly revised and redesignated in part as AS/NZS 1562.2:1999.

Reconfirmed 2020.
