Overview

EN 14909:2012 - Flexible sheets for waterproofing: Plastic and rubber damp proof courses - Definitions and characteristics - is a CEN European Standard that defines the properties, test methods and conformity assessment requirements for factory-made flexible plastic and rubber sheets used as damp proof courses (DPC) in buildings. The standard covers product designation (TYPE A and TYPE V - ventilating/draining), essential product characteristics (dimensions, thickness, watertightness, durability, mechanical resistance, reaction to fire, etc.) and procedures for initial type testing and factory production control (FPC). It does not cover related items such as preformed cavity trays, coping or flashings.

Key Topics

• Scope & definitions: Clarifies terms such as plastics and rubber damp proof course, ventilating/draining DPC, manufacturer’s declared/limiting values and sampling/batch concepts.
• Product designation: TYPE A (standard DPC) and TYPE V (ventilating/draining DPC).
• Dimensions and tolerances: Length, width and straightness measured per EN 1848-2; straightness deviation limited (e.g., max 75 mm per 10 m).
• Thickness & mass per unit area: Determined by EN 1849-2; declared values and tolerances apply.
• Watertightness: Tested by EN 1928:2000 Method A (specified test pressure 2 kPa).
• Durability & ageing: Includes artificial ageing and chemical exposure test references (e.g., EN 1296, EN 1847).
• Mechanical resistance: Impact (EN 12691), static loading (EN 12730), tearing (nail shank) and joint strength (EN 12310-1, EN 12317-2).
• Low temperature & foldability: Reference to EN 495-5 for foldability/low temperature behavior.
• Water vapour transmission: Measured by EN 1931, with minimum tolerance requirements introduced.
• Reaction to fire & dangerous substances: Includes reaction-to-fire testing references (EN 13501-1, EN ISO 11925-2) and clauses on hazardous constituents.
• Conformity assessment: Initial type testing, FPC rules and product data sheet requirements; Annex ZA links the standard to the EU Construction Products Directive.

Applications

• Specifies DPC materials used to stop rising damp and to divert/vent water within masonry and cavity wall constructions.
• Typical users:
  • Manufacturers of plastic and rubber DPC membranes
  • Architects & specifiers selecting compliant DPC products
  • Contractors & installers implementing damp-proofing systems
  • Testing laboratories performing type tests and FPC
  • Regulators & certification bodies assessing conformity and CE marking

Related Standards

• EN 1928 (watertightness), EN 1848-2 (dimensions), EN 1849-2 (thickness/mass), EN 1850-2 (visible defects), EN 12691 (impact), EN 12730 (static loading), EN 12310-1 / EN 12317-2 (tearing & joint strength), EN 495-5 (low temperature), EN 1296 / EN 1847 (durability), EN 1931 (water vapour), EN 13501-1 & EN ISO 11925-2 (reaction to fire).

This concise guide helps practitioners and specifiers understand the scope, key requirements and practical uses of EN 14909:2012 when selecting or certifying damp proof courses and related waterproofing membranes.
