Well, the IBC says 1:12, 5%, and under to be flat. The Europeans seem to use 7%, 1.47:12. The AIA has multiple answers. One faction of the roofing guys say 1:12, and another says 2:12. They call 2:12 steep slope flat, and less low slope flat. So there you have it, after at least seven minutes of research.
