Overview

EN 15814:2011/FprA2 - "Polymer modified bituminous thick coatings for waterproofing - Definitions and requirements" is a CEN European standard (draft amendment A2) that defines terminology and sets performance and production requirements for prefabricated polymer modified bituminous thick coatings (PMBC) used to waterproof below‑ground structures. It covers both one‑component and two‑component products, with or without inlay, and explicitly excludes products intended for roof waterproofing.

Key topics and requirements

• Scope and definitions: Clarifies product types (one‑ and two‑component PMBC), application limits (below ground only) and component roles.
• Dangerous substances: Requires verification/declaration of releases/content in line with national rules when no harmonized EU method exists.
• Assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP): Manufacturer responsibility for product type determination and ongoing conformity; allows product family approaches where applicable.
• Type testing and test reports: All declared characteristics must be determined by testing (or accepted historic data where justified). Test reports must be retained (minimum 10 years).
• Factory production control (FPC): Detailed requirements for documented procedures, personnel competence, equipment calibration/maintenance, raw material specifications and controls during manufacture. Subcontracting does not remove the manufacturer’s responsibilities.
• Product controls / tolerances: Examples from the FPC table include:
  • Flexibility at low temperature - test EN 15813 (weekly or per batch)
  • Dimensional stability at high temperature - test EN 15818 (weekly or per batch)
  • A‑component solids content - EN ISO 3251 (±4 % abs.)
  • A‑component ash content - EN ISO 3451‑1 (±2 % abs.; testing at 475 ± 25 °C for products ≥5 % ash)
  • B‑component bulk density - EN ISO 3923‑1 (±0.1 g/cm³)
• CE marking / Declaration of Performance (DoP): Annex ZA aligns the standard with the Construction Products Regulation (CPR) procedures for AVCP and DoP.

Practical applications

This standard is used to specify, manufacture, test and verify PMBC products for waterproofing below‑ground civil and building structures such as basements, foundations, retaining walls, tunnels and underground car parks. It helps ensure consistent product performance, traceability and regulatory compliance for products placed on EU markets.

Who uses this standard

• Manufacturers of polymer modified bituminous thick coatings
• Product certification bodies and notified bodies involved in AVCP
• Construction product testing laboratories
• Specifiers, architects and civil engineers writing waterproofing specifications
• Contractors and quality managers overseeing installation and procurement

5 Assessment and verification of the constancy of performance – AVCP
5.1 General
The compliance of PMBC with the requirements of this standard and with the declared values (including
classes) shall be demonstrated by:
 determination of the product type;
 factory production control by the manufacturer, including product assessment.
The manufacturer shall always retain the overall control and shall have the necessary means to take
responsibility for the conformity of the product with its declared performance(s).
NOTE The assignment of tasks to the notified bodies and the manufacturer is shown in Table ZA.3.
5.2 Type testing
5.2.1 General
All performances related to characteristics included in this standard shall be determined when the
manufacturer intends to declare the respective performances unless the standard gives provisions for
declaring them without performing tests (e.g. use of previously existing data, CWFT and conventionally
accepted performance).
Assessment previously performed in accordance with the provisions of this standard, may be taken into
account provided that they were made to the same or a more rigorous test method, under the same AVCP
system on the same product or products of similar design, construction and functionality, such that the results
are applicable to the product in question.
NOTE Same AVCP system means testing by an independent third party [only for products covered by
system 1+, 1 and 3], under the responsibility of a notified product certification body.
For the purposes of assessment, the manufacturer's products may be grouped into families, where it is
considered that the results for one or more characteristics from any one product within the family are
representative for those same characteristics for all products within that same family.
Products may be grouped in different families for different characteristics.
Reference to the assessment method standards should be made to allow the selection of a suitable
representative sample.
In addition, the determination of the product type shall be performed for all characteristics included in the
standard for which the manufacturer declares the performance:
 at the beginning of the production of a new or modified PMBC (unless a member of the same product
range), or
 at the beginning of a new or modified method of production (where this may affect the stated
properties); or
they shall be repeated for the appropriate characteristic(s), whenever a change occurs in the PMBC design, in
the raw material or in the supplier of the components, or in the method of production (subject to the definition
of a family), which would affect significantly one or more of the characteristics.
Where components are used whose characteristics have already been determined, by the component
manufacturer, on the basis of assessment methods of other product standards, these characteristics need not
be re-assessed. The specifications of these components shall be documented.
Products bearing regulatory marking in accordance with appropriate harmonized European specifications may
be presumed to have the performances declared in the DoP, although this does not replace the responsibility
on the PMBC manufacturer to ensure that the PMBC as a whole is correctly manufactured and its component
products have the declared performance values.
5.2.2 Test reports
The results of the determination of the product type shall be documented in test reports. All test reports shall
be retained by the manufacturer for at least 10 years after the last date of production of the PMBC to which
they relate.
5.3 Factory production control (FPC)
5.3.1 General
The manufacturer shall establish, document and maintain an FPC system to ensure that the products placed
on the market comply with the declared performance of the characteristics.
The FPC system shall consist of procedures, regular inspections and tests and/or assessments and the use of
the results to control raw and other incoming materials or components, equipment, the production process and
the product. All the elements, requirements and provisions adopted by the manufacturer shall be documented
in a systematic manner in the form of written policies and procedures.
This factory production control system documentation shall ensure a common understanding of the evaluation
of the constancy of performance and enable the achievement of the required product performances and the
effective operation of the production control system to be checked. Factory production control therefore brings
together operational techniques and all measures allowing maintenance and control of the compliance of the
product with the declared performances of the essential characteristics.
5.3.2 Requirements
5.3.2.1 General
The manufacturer is responsible for organizing the effective implementation of the FPC system. Tasks and
responsibilities in the production control organization shall be documented and this documentation shall be
kept up-to-date.
The responsibility, authority and the relationship between personnel that manages, performs or verifies work
affecting product constancy, shall be defined. This applies in particular to personnel that need to initiate
actions preventing product non-constancies from occurring, actions in case of non-constancies and to identify
and register product constancy problems.
Personnel performing work affecting the constancy of performance of the product shall be competent on the
basis of appropriate education, training, skills and experience for which records shall be maintained.
In each factory the manufacturer may delegate the action to a person having the necessary authority to:
 identify procedures to demonstrate conformity of the product at appropriate stages;
 identify and record any instance of non-conformity;
 identify procedures to correct instances of non-conformity.
The manufacturer shall draw up and keep up-to-date documents defining the factory production control. The
manufacturer's documentation and procedures should be appropriate to the product and manufacturing
process. The FPC system should achieve an appropriate level of confidence in the conformity of the product.
This involves:
a) the preparation of documented procedures and instructions relating to factory production control
operations, in accordance with the requirements of the technical specification to which reference is made;
b) the effective implementation of these procedures and instructions;
c) the recording of these operations and their results;
d) the use of these results to correct any deviations, repair the effects of such deviations, treat any resulting
instances of non-conformity and, if necessary, revise the FPC to rectify the cause of non-conformity.
Where subcontracting takes place, the manufacturer shall retain the overall control of the product and ensure
that he receives all the information that is necessary to fulfill his responsibilities according to this European
Standard.
If the manufacturer has part of the product designed, manufactured, assembled, packed, processed and/or
labelled by subcontracting, the FPC of the subcontractor may be taken into account, where appropriate for the
product in question.
The manufacturer who subcontracts all of his activities may in no circumstances pass these responsibilities on
to a subcontractor.
NOTE - Manufacturers having an FPC system, which complies with EN ISO 9001 standard and which
addresses the provisions of the present European standard are considered as satisfying the FPC
requirements of the Regulation (EU) No 305/2011.
5.3.2.2 Equipment
5.3.2.2.1 Testing
All weighing, measuring and testing equipment shall be calibrated and regularly inspected according to
documented procedures, frequencies and criteria.
5.3.2.2.2 Manufacturing
All equipment used in the manufacturing process shall be regularly inspected and maintained to ensure use,
wear or failure does not cause inconsistency in the manufacturing process. Inspections and maintenance shall
be carried out and recorded in accordance with the manufacturer’s written procedures and the records
retained for the period defined in the manufacturer's FPC procedures.
5.3.2.3 Raw materials and components
The specifications of all incoming raw materials and components shall be documented, as shall the inspection
scheme for ensuring their compliance. In case supplied kit components are used, the attestation of conformity
level of the component shall be that given in the appropriate harmonised technical specification for that
component.
5.3.2.4 Controls during manufacturing process
The manufacturer shall plan and carry out production under controlled conditions.
5.3.2.5 Product testing and evaluation
The manufacturer shall establish procedures to ensure that the stated values of the characteristics he
declares are maintained. The characteristics, and the means of control, are given in Table 2.

For the purpose of the Factory Production Control alternative tests to those given in Table 2 may be used,
provided that a correlation of the results between both tests, for the product in question, is established. The
use of alternative tests shall be recorded and maintained.
5.3.2.6 Non-complying products
The manufacturer shall have written procedures which specify how non-complying products shall be dealt
with. Any such events shall be recorded as they occur and these records shall be kept for the period defined
in the manufacturer’s written procedures.
Where the product fails to satisfy the acceptance criteria, the provisions for non-complying products shall
apply, the necessary corrective action(s) shall immediately be taken and the products or batches not
complying shall be isolated and properly identified.
Once the fault has been corrected, the test or verification in question shall be repeated.
The results of controls and tests shall be properly recorded. The product description, date of manufacture, test
method adopted, test results and acceptance criteria shall be entered in the records under the signature of the
person responsible for the control/test.
With regard to any control result not meeting the requirements of this European Standard, the corrective
measures taken to rectify the situation (e.g. a further test carried out, modification of manufacturing process,
throwing away or putting right of product) shall be indicated in the records.
5.3.2.7 Corrective action
The manufacturer shall have documented procedures that instigate action to eliminate the cause of non-
conformities in order to prevent recurrence.
5.3.2.8 Handling, storage and packaging
The manufacturer shall have procedures providing methods of product handling and shall provide suitable
storage areas preventing damage or deterioration.
5.3.3 Product specific requirements
The FPC system shall address this European Standard and ensure that the products placed on the market
comply with the declaration of performance.
The FPC system shall include a product specific FPC, which identifies procedures to demonstrate compliance
of the product at appropriate stages, i.e.:
a) the controls and tests to be carried out prior to and/or during manufacture according to a frequency laid
down in the FPC test plan,
and/or
b) the verifications and tests to be carried out on finished products according to a frequency laid down in the
FPC test plan.
If the manufacturer uses only finished products, the operations under b) shall lead to an equivalent level of
compliance of the product as if FPC had been carried out during the production.
If the manufacturer carries out parts of the production himself, the operations under b) may be reduced and
partly replaced by operations under a). Generally, the more parts of the production that are carried out by the
manufacturer, the more operations under b) may be replaced by operations under a).
In any case the operation shall lead to an equivalent level of compliance of the product as if FPC had been
carried out during the production.
NOTE Depending on the specific case, it can be necessary to carry out the operations referred to under a) and b),
only the operations under a) or only those under b).
