Establishes procedures for the installation of plastics building sheets for walls and roofs and for the design of plastics roofing systems.

This Standard sets out procedures for the installation of plastics building sheets for walls and roofs and for the design of plastics roofing systems.The Standard is primarily intended to apply to the use of plastics building sheets complying with AS 2376, Parts 1 and 2.NOTES:1 The sheets do not contribute to the structural or load-bearing capacity of the structure and due allowance should be made to the surrounding structure to compensate for the opening areas. For applications where structural design requirements must be satisfied, reference should be made to the design and testing provisions of AS 1562 for roofing without transverse joints.2 For use of the sheets in abnormal environmental conditions, the advice of the manufacturer should be sought.
