Plastics - Plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-P) membranes for inground swimming pools - Part 2: Reinforced membranes of nominal thickness equal to or greater than 1,5 mm

This European Standard specifies the visual, dimensional, mechanical and durability characteristics of reinforced membranes made of plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-P) sheets assembled together a polyester reinforcement, which nominal thickness is greater than or equal to 1,5 mm, intended to be used to contribute to the leaktightness of inground swimming pools, implemented in situ. It also specifies the characteristics of the composition of the PVC-P used to produce the membranes.
It applies specifically to reinforced membranes intended for use in swimming pools where the water temperature is less than or equal to 32 °C. If the membrane manufacturer permits a temperature of water continuously maintained above 32 °C, this document also applies.

Kunststoffe - Membranen aus weichmacherhaltigem Polyvinylchlorid (PVC–P) für erdverlegte Schwimmbäder - Teil 2: Verstärkte Membranen mit einer Nenndicke von mindestens 1,5 mm

Dieses Dokument legt die optischen und mechanischen Eigenschaften sowie die Maß- und Beständigkeitseigenschaften
von verstärkten Membranen fest, die sich aus Folien aus weichmacherhaltigem Polyvinylchlorid
(PVC-P) mit einer dazwischen befindlichen Polyester-Verstärkungsschicht zusammensetzen, mit einer Nenndicke
größer gleich 1,5 mm, die für Abdichtungszwecke für erdverlegte Schwimmbäder vorgesehen und lokal
anzuwenden sind. Weiterhin legt es die Beschaffenheitsmerkmale des für die Herstellung der Membranen
verwendeten PVC-P fest.
Es gilt besonders für verstärkte Membranen, die für den Einsatz in Schwimmbädern mit einer Wassertemperatur
kleiner gleich 32 °C vorgesehen sind. Dieses Dokument gilt auch wenn der Membranhersteller
eine Wassertemperatur, die über 28 °C fortlaufend aufrechterhalten wird zulässt.

Plastiques - Membranes en poly(chlorure de vinyle) plastifié (PVC-P) pour piscines enterrées - Partie 2: Membranes armées d'épaisseur nominale supérieure ou égale à 1,5 mm

La présente Norme Européenne spécifie les caractéristiques visuelles, dimensionnelles, mécaniques et de
durabilité des membranes armées constituées de feuilles en poly(chlorure de vinyle) plastifié (PVC-P)
renforcées par une armature en polyester, d’épaisseur nominale supérieure ou égale à 1,5 mm, destinées à
contribuer à l’étanchéité des piscines enterrées, mises en oeuvre in situ. Il spécifie également les
caractéristiques des compositions de PVC-P utilisées pour la production des membranes.
En particulier, il s’applique aux membranes armées destinées aux piscines dont la température d’eau est
inférieure ou égale à 32 °C. Si le fabricant de membranes permet une température d’eau constamment
maintenue au-dessus de 32 °C, le présent document s’applique également.

Polimerni materiali - Plastificirane membrane iz polivinilklorida (PVC-P) za bazene, ki so vgrajeni v tla - 2. del: Okrepljene membrane z nominalno debelino, enako ali večjo od 1,5 mm

Ta evropski standard določa vizualne lastnosti, mere, mehanske lastnosti in trajnost okrepljenih membran iz plastificiranih polivinilkloridnih (PVC-P) plasti, sestavljenih s poliestrsko okrepitvijo, z nominalno debelino, večjo ali enako 1,5 mm, ki prispevajo k neprepustnosti bazenov, vgrajenih v tla, in se namestijo in situ. Določa tudi značilnosti sestave polivinilklorida (PVC-P), ki se uporablja za izdelavo membran. Velja izrecno za homogene membrane, namenjene za uporabo v bazenih s temperaturo vode, ki je manjša ali enaka 32 °C. Če proizvajalec membrane dovoljuje temperaturo vode, ki je stalno višja od 32 °C, ta dokument prav tako velja.
