Is a drip edge mandatory?

What a layman just doesn't know is that this design is simply no longer up to date and of course no one points that out.

"Up to date," what nonsense!

It has a gable roof with a 38° pitch and during today's inspection it was noticed that no eaves flashing or drip flashing was installed. The water that accumulates under the roof tiles flows down along the underlay and directly against the fascia board. The fascia board is already doomed to weather.

... what water does to wood has been the same for millions of years.

Could the expert report at least be viewed then?

Yes, it could, this is the drawing of the factory standard, as erected by the house manufacturer.

Do I understand correctly that you assume that a drip edge is not necessarily required?

What are these 10mm at the eaves? Is that a gap between the counter batten and the eaves board so that no water from the underlay runs against the eaves board and accumulates there? If so, was it executed that way?

Basically, that is correct. It is also stated somewhere in the rules for sheet metal work. Certain overhangs must be maintained so that water drains directly into the gutter. With appropriate planning/execution, both with and without are proper.

Yes, you could, this is the drawing of the factory standard, as constructed by the in-house manufacturer.

Does the water that runs off the underlay run down the inside of the fascia board? Or over the top around the metal sheet(?) into the gutter?
