Flexible sheets for waterproofing - Bitumen, plastic and rubber sheets for roof waterproofing - Determination of watertightness

This European Standard specifies the equipment and procedures for determining the watertightness, i.e. the resistance to ponding water or to hydraulic pressure absorbed by a limited part of the surface, of factory made products. It is applicable to bitumen, thermoplastic and elastomeric sheets.

Abdichtungsbahnen - Bitumen-, Kunststoff- und Elastomerbahnen für Dachabdichtungen - Bestimmung der Wasserdichtheit

Diese Europäische Norm gilt für Bitumen-, Kunststoff- und Elastomerbahnen für Dachabdichtungen und beschreibt das Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Wasserdichtheit von industriell gefertigten Abdichtungsbahnen, z.B. als Widerstand gegen stehendes Wasser über der Abdichtungsfläche oder drückendes Wasser, das von einem begrenzten Teil der Oberfläche absorbiert wird. Diese Norm kann auch für andere Abdichtungsmaßnahmen angewandt werden.

Feuilles souples d'étanchéité - Feuilles d'étanchéité de toiture bitumineuses, plastiques et élastomeres - Détermination de l'étanchéité a l'eau

Cette norme européenne s'applique aux feuilles d'étanchéité de toiture bitumineuses, plastiques et élastomères et spécifie les procédures pour déterminer l'étanchéité à l'eau, par exemple la résistance à l'eau stagnante ou à l'eau sous pression absorbée par une partie limitée de la surface. Cette norme peut aussi être utilisée dans d'autres domaines de l'étanchéité.

Overview

SIST EN 1928:2001 is a crucial European Standard developed by CEN that defines the methods for determining the watertightness of flexible sheets used in roof waterproofing. This standard applies specifically to factory-made sheets composed of bitumen, plastic (thermoplastic), and rubber (elastomeric) materials. The standard outlines precise equipment and procedural requirements to evaluate the resistance of these sheets against ponding water and hydraulic pressure, ensuring their effectiveness in preventing water ingress.

By establishing uniform testing procedures, SIST EN 1928:2001 ensures consistent quality and reliability of waterproofing sheets utilized in the construction sector, supporting long-lasting roof protection and durability.

Key Topics

  • Scope and Applicability
    SIST EN 1928:2001 covers factory-made flexible sheets for waterproofing, primarily bitumen, thermoplastic, and elastomeric sheets. It excludes other waterproofing materials such as liquid-applied membranes or non-factory-made products.

  • Watertightness Testing Methods

    • Resistance to ponding water, simulating water accumulation on surfaces
    • Resistance to hydraulic pressure concentrated on limited surface areas
      The standard specifies how to set up the test apparatus and maintain conditions that replicate real-world water exposure to evaluate sheet performance.
  • Test Equipment and Setup
    Detailed requirements for the devices used to apply water pressure and methods to observe water permeability, ensuring accurate and repeatable results.

  • Performance Criteria
    Defines acceptance levels for watertightness, helping manufacturers certify their products meet market and regulatory demands.

Applications

SIST EN 1928:2001 is essential for a variety of stakeholders in the roofing and construction industries:

  • Manufacturers of Waterproofing Sheets
    Use this standard to validate product performance, optimize material formulations, and demonstrate compliance with European market requirements.

  • Roofing Contractors and Engineers
    Reference the standard to select appropriate waterproofing membranes that meet durability and watertightness specifications, reducing risk of leaks and associated damages.

  • Building Inspectors and Certification Bodies
    Employ the standard to verify that installed roofing materials conform to accepted test methods, facilitating quality assurance and regulatory compliance.

  • Architects and Designers
    Integrate the standard’s test results into material selection criteria, ensuring robust waterproofing solutions in building designs.

Related Standards

To complement SIST EN 1928:2001, several other standards are relevant for comprehensive waterproofing system evaluation:

  • EN 13970 - Flexible sheets for waterproofing - Bitumen and plastic sheets for roof waterproofing - Determination of resistance to impact
  • EN 13659 - Flexible sheets for waterproofing - Reinforced bitumen sheets for roof waterproofing - Definitions and characteristics
  • EN ISO 1408 - Flexible sheets for waterproofing - Bitumen, plastic and rubber sheets for roof waterproofing - Determination of dimensional stability
  • EN 12311-1 - Flexible sheets for waterproofing - Determination of tensile properties - Part 1: Bitumen sheets for roof waterproofing

Adherence to these standards together provides a thorough assessment of waterproofing sheets' performance, strength, and durability, ensuring reliable roofing solutions.


By following SIST EN 1928:2001, manufacturers and industry professionals can guarantee the watertight integrity of flexible roofing sheets, essential for protecting buildings against water damage and extending roof lifespan. This standard promotes product quality, market transparency, and ultimately safer, more durable construction outcomes.
