Overview

EN 13375:2019 (CEN) defines the rules and specifications for preparing test specimens used to evaluate flexible sheets for waterproofing of concrete bridge decks and other concrete surfaces trafficable by vehicles. The standard ensures reproducible, comparable test conditions by specifying the composition and preparation of concrete base slabs, the bituminous overlay materials and laying procedures, and the types of specimens required for performance testing.

Key practical points:

• Base specimen slabs: minimum thickness 40 mm, concrete type MC (0,45) per EN 1766 with the option to use CEM I 52.5 N (EN 197‑1). Surface must be clean, dry and free from laitance.
• Surface texture: macrotexture depth 0.5 mm to 1.0 mm measured per EN 13036‑1; grit‑blasting or high‑pressure water jetting can be used to achieve this.
• Specimen types: Type 1 (base specimen + waterproofing), Type 2 (waterproofing applied with asphalt layer), Type 3 (base specimen + waterproofing + asphalt layer).

Key Topics

• Concrete base specimen requirements

  • Composition, curing and storage follow EN 1766 reference concretes.
  • Uniform quality across slabs to ensure consistent test sampling.

• Asphalt and bituminous overlays

  • Mastic asphalt (MA / LMA) per EN 13108‑6: MA laying temperature 220–250 °C; thickness (40 ± 5) mm. LMA uses lower laying temperatures (below 220 °C up to <250 °C).
  • Asphalt concrete (AC) per EN 13108‑1: laying at (160 ± 10) °C; thickness (40 ± 5) mm (or (60 ± 5) mm for EN 14692 tests).
  • Porous asphalt (PA) per EN 13108‑7: laying at (125 ± 10) °C.
  • Laying and compaction rules are specified to avoid vibration effects and ensure consistent overlay performance.

• Application of waterproofing systems

  • Systems shall be applied according to manufacturer instructions; primers and adhesive bitumen must be within manufacturer ranges.
  • Special attention for torch‑on systems (uniform welding wave) and pour‑and‑roll systems (control adhesive temperature to avoid overheating polymer bitumen).

Applications

EN 13375:2019 is intended for laboratories, manufacturers and specifiers involved in:

• Performance testing of flexible waterproofing sheets for bridge decks and trafficked concrete surfaces.
• Preparing standardized specimens for bond, shear, crack‑bridging and compaction resistance tests.
• Verifying material and installation compatibility between waterproofing membranes and asphalt protection layers.

Benefits include consistent, repeatable specimen preparation and clearer comparison across products and test methods.

Related Standards

The document is part of a test series and cross‑references standards such as:

• EN 1766 (reference concretes)
• EN 13036‑1 (macrotexture measurement)
• EN 13108‑1, EN 13108‑6, EN 13108‑7 (bituminous mixture specifications)
• EN 13596, EN 13653, EN 14224, EN 14692, EN 14693 (performance test methods)

For practical implementation, follow manufacturer application instructions and the referenced EN test methods to produce compliant, traceable specimens for laboratory evaluation.
