The objective of this Standard is to provide users with the characteristic requirements and methods of test for corrugated cellulose-cement sheets for use primarily as roofing and cladding.
The sheets specified in this Standard may be installed in accordance with AS/NZS 1562.2, Design and installation of sheet roofing and wall cladding, Part 2: Fibre-reinforced cement. So that the best use is made of corrugated cellulose-cement sheets for roofing and cladding, it is recommended that this series be read in conjunction with AS/NZS 1562.2.
This Standard is the first part in a series of cellulose-cement products Standards, which comprises the following:
AS/NZS
2908 Cellulose-cement products
2908.1 Part 1: Corrugated sheets (this Standard)
2908.2 Part 2: Flat sheets (identical with ISO 8336:1993)
The objectives of this revision are —
(a) to develop it as a Joint Australian/New Zealand Standard; and
(b) to update the Standard with the 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.

This Standard sets out requirements for corrugated cellulose-cement sheets for use primarily as roofing and cladding. It also applies to autoclaved sheets in which the cement is partially replaced by ground silica.
This Standard covers sheets that are finished with one of the following:
(a) Their natural colour.
(b) Colouring matter added to their composition.
(c) Coloured or uncoloured adherent coatings on their surfaces.
This Standard does not apply to asbestos-fibre-reinforced sheets.
NOTE: Advisory information on alternative methods of determining compliance with this Standard is given in Appendix A.
