Overview

EN 15817:2011 specifies a standardized laboratory procedure to determine the water resistance of polymer modified bituminous thick coatings for waterproofing. Published by CEN and approved in March 2011, this test method evaluates the behaviour of a polymer-modified bitumen-emulsion sheet when partially immersed in water for a defined period. The procedure supports product quality control, durability assessment and compliance with European waterproofing requirements.

Key topics

• Scope: Applies to polymer modified bituminous thick coatings intended for waterproofing; defines a water-resistance test procedure.
• Conditioning: Specimens conditioned in a standard atmosphere of (23 ± 2) °C and (50 ± 5) % RH in accordance with ISO 554 for 28 days before testing.
• Specimen preparation:
  • Flexible sheet formed from the polymer bitumen-emulsion.
  • Target dry layer thickness: 4 ± 0.4 mm (achieved by levelling the wet coating with a frame/gauge).
  • If applicable, incorporate any inlay/reinforcement prior to testing.
  • Minimum sample dimensions depend on the container (example dimensions given in the standard: not less than 90 mm × 250 mm).
• Test setup:
  • Place specimen in a glass beaker with approx. 2.5 L tap water, suspended centrally so 2/3 is immersed and 1/3 is not, ensuring the specimen is surrounded by water on all sides.
  • Maintain slight, continuous water movement using a magnetic stirrer during the test.
• Duration and assessment:
  • Immersion period: 28 days at room temperature.
  • Final evaluation is visual: look for material changes, peeling of reinforcement, or water discoloration.
• Reporting requirements: Include product identification, reference to EN 15817, test period, dry thickness, visual assessment, and test date.

Applications

• Quality control and batch verification by manufacturers of polymer modified bituminous coatings.
• Independent testing laboratories performing durability and water-resistance assessments.
• Specifiers, architects and contractors verifying product suitability for waterproofing applications (roofs, basements, foundations).
• Certification bodies and regulators using standardized test evidence for compliance and performance claims.
• Product development teams comparing formulations for improved water resistance.
