DIN EN 16508:2016-02

This European Standard specifies performance requirements and design methods for temporary roofs (canopy roofs) and encapsulations. It is possible to form the constructions in several ways: - temporary roof which is supported by an existing permanent construction; - temporary roof which is supported by a scaffold; - temporary roof which is supported by another temporary construction (such as steel frame); - temporary wall (weather protection wall) which is supported by a separate construction; - encapsulation which is a complete temporary construction including roof, walls and corresponding temporary supports. This European Standard sets out general requirements. These are substantially independent of the materials of which the construction is made. This standard is intended as a basis for tendering, design and dimensioning. The committee responsible for this standard is NA 005-11-05 AA "Arbeits- und Schutzgerüste und Gerüstbauteile" ("Service and working scaffolds and scaffolding components") at DIN.
