Abstract

Roofing slate has its own regulations and standards, as with other natural stones. The two main markets for roofing slate are USA/Canada and Europe. Given the very long tradition of slate mining in these two areas, it is no surprise that the first regulations for roofing slate were developed there. In the USA and Canada, the technical requirements are compiled in the standard ASTM C406, while in Europe test methods and requirements are defined in EN 12326. There are also standards from China (GB/T 18600) and India (IS 6250), the emerging production countries in the slate market. This review article analyses and compares the current test methods for roofing slate. Also, new test methods are proposed in order to complement the information of the official standards.
