- E2/VM1 provides calculations and tests for cladding systems, including junctions with windows, doors and other penetrations. It provides for pitched, skillion and commercial/industrial roofing.
- E2/AS1, the Acceptable Solution, gives design solutions for roofs, walls and penetrations to the external envelop for low-rise, timber-framed buildings.
