Clay roofing tiles for discontinuous laying - Determination of physical characteristics - Part 1: Impermeability test
This European Standard describes two test methods for testing the impermeability to water of clay roof tiles and fittings which can be considered as equivalent.
NOTE The methods are not applicable to all fittings, because of their different shapes.
Dachziegel für überlappende Verlegung - Bestimmung der physikalischen Eigenschaften - Teil 1: Prüfung der Wasserundurchlässigkeit
Diese Europäische Norm beschreibt zwei Verfahren zur Prüfung der Wasserundurchlässigkeit von Dachziegeln und Formziegeln, die als einander gleichwertig angesehen werden können.
ANMERKUNG Diese Verfahren sind wegen der unterschiedlichen Formen nicht auf alle Formziegel anwendbar.
Tuiles de terre cuite pour pose en discontinu - Détermination des caractéristiques physiques - Partie 1: Essai d'imperméabilité
La présente Norme européenne décrit deux méthodes d’essai pour la détermination de l’imperméabilité à l’eau des tuiles et accessoires en terre cuite qui peuvent être considérées comme équivalentes.
NOTE Les méthodes ne s’appliquent pas à tous les accessoires en raison de leur forme particulière.

Foreword
This European Standard (EN 539-1:2005) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 128 “Roof
covering products for discontinuous laying and products for wall cladding”, the secretariat of which is held by
IBN.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical
text or by endorsement, at the latest by March 2006, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at
the latest by March 2006.
This document supersedes EN 539-1:1994.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic,
Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania,
Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland

If the tiles or fittings are supplied with a surface coating or treatment then the test shall be carried out on
samples which include the surface coating or treatment.
When the tiles or fittings are taken from a site or building, they shall be tested in the state in which they are
found, but the interpretation of the test results shall take into account the stresses to which these installed
products have been subjected.

5.1 Principe
The amount of water passing in 48 h through the ceramic body of the tile or fitting per cm of surface area,
under a load of 10 cm of water kept constant throughout the test is determined.
