Overview

SIST EN 13375:2019 specifies the procedures for the preparation of test specimens used for evaluating waterproofing systems applied to concrete bridge decks and other concrete surfaces trafficable by vehicles. This European standard is essential for ensuring the consistency and reliability of tests performed on flexible sheets for waterproofing, helping manufacturers, laboratories, and project owners to accurately assess product performance.

This standard covers:

  • Preparation and characteristics of concrete slabs used as base specimens
  • Composition and preparation procedures for bituminous mixtures used in asphalt layers
  • Rules for preparing and handling specimens as referenced in test standards

SIST EN 13375 is part of a series focused on flexible sheet waterproofing systems, forming a cornerstone in the quality assurance and durability testing of waterproofing membranes for concrete infrastructure.


Key Topics

  • Base Specimen Concrete Slabs: Outlines requirements for concrete composition, slab thickness, surface cleanliness, and roughness based on EN 1766 guidelines.
  • Bituminous Mixture Preparation: Specifies procedures for mastic asphalt, asphalt concrete, and porous asphalt overlays following EN 13108-1, EN 13108-6, and EN 13108-7.
  • Specimen Types: Defines various specimen configurations including combinations of base slab, waterproofing system, and asphalt layer.
  • Application of Waterproofing Systems: Details correct methods for applying waterproofing sheets and any protective asphalt layers, in accordance with manufacturer instructions and relevant standards.
  • Specimen Handling and Storage: Provides instructions for sawing, storing, and timing test specimens to ensure testing integrity.
  • Comprehensive Test Reporting: Specifies information requirements for documenting specimen preparation and conditions in accordance with referenced test procedures.

Applications

The procedures and requirements specified in SIST EN 13375:2019 are widely applicable within the construction and infrastructure sectors, particularly for:

  • Bridge Deck Waterproofing: Ensures repeatable, reliable specimen preparation for performance testing of membranes used under vehicular traffic.
  • Roadway and Concrete Structure Protection: Supports quality control and compliance in projects requiring durable protection against water ingress for trafficable concrete surfaces.
  • Product Development and Certification: Provides laboratories and manufacturers with clear specimen preparation guidance for the independent testing and certification of flexible waterproofing sheets.
  • Tendering and Regulatory Compliance: Offers project owners and contractors a recognized reference for verifying that waterproofing systems have undergone rigorous and standardized testing.

Applying this standard helps deliver higher confidence in the long-term waterproofing performance of critical concrete infrastructure, supporting both safety and asset longevity.


Related Standards

SIST EN 13375:2019 references several key European standards to ensure specimen preparation aligns with broader test and material specifications, including:

  • EN 1766: Reference concretes for testing protection and repair products.
  • EN 13036-1: Measurement of pavement surface macrotexture depth.
  • EN 13108 series: Specifications for asphalt concrete, mastic asphalt, and porous asphalt.
  • EN 13596: Determination of bond strength for waterproofing systems.
  • EN 13653: Measurement of shear strength.
  • EN 14224: Testing crack bridging ability of waterproofing membranes.
  • EN 14692: Resistance to compaction of asphalt layers.
  • EN 14693: Behavior of waterproofing sheets during mastic asphalt application.
  • EN 14695, EN 17048: Definitions and characteristics of bituminous and plastic/rubber waterproofing sheets.

These related standards underpin specimen characterization and ensure cross-compatibility and recognition across the European construction and testing sectors.


By adhering to SIST EN 13375:2019, stakeholders ensure that flexible waterproofing systems for concrete bridge decks and other vehicle-trafficked surfaces are tested under uniform and rigorous conditions, improving trust in certification results and optimizing infrastructure durability.
