Mastic asphalt for waterproofing - Definitions, requirements and test methods
This EN specifies mastic asphalts for waterproofing, states their characteristics, the test methods to be used to verify these characteristics, and their manufacturing and transport recommendations. It applies to mastic asphalts used for waterproofing or by application on polymer bitumen sheets in the construction and civil engineering fields, such as roofing, parking, tanking, bridge decks (concrete and steel). It does not include functional requirements to the installed products.
Gußasphalt und Asphaltmastix für Abdichtungen - Definitionen, Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren
Diese Europäische Norm beschreibt Gußasphalt und Asphaltmastix für Abdichtungen, nennt deren Eigenschaften und die Prüfverfahren, die angewendet werden, um diese Eigenschaften zu bestimmen und gibt Empfehlungen für Herstellung und Transport. Diese EN gilt für Gußasphalt und Asphaltmastix für Abdichtungen oder die Anwendung auf Polymerbitumenbahnen im Hoch- und Ingenierbau, wie z.B. Dächer, Parkflächen, Abdichtungen gegen drückendes Wasser, Fahrbahndecken (Beton und Stahl).
Asphalte coulé pour étanchéité - Définitions, spécifications et méthodes d'essai
La présente norme européenne définit les asphaltes coulés pour revêtements d'étanchéité, en fixe les caractéristiques, les essais devront être appliqués pour vérifier ces caractéristiques et les recommandations concernant la fabrication, le transport et l'application du matériau. Cette norme s'applique aux asphaltes coulés utilisés pour l'étanchéité ou par application sur des feuilles bitumineuses, dans les ouvrages du bâtiment et du génie civil, p.e. pour les toitures, parkings, cuvelages, tabliers de ponts (en béton et en acier).

EN 12970:2000 - Mastic asphalt for waterproofing (Overview)
EN 12970:2000 is a CEN European Standard that defines mastic asphalts for waterproofing, specifying their definitions, required characteristics, and the test methods used to verify those characteristics. The standard also gives manufacturing and transport recommendations for mastic asphalt products. It applies to mastic asphalts used directly for waterproofing or in combination with polymer bitumen sheets across building and civil engineering uses. Note: EN 12970:2000 does not set functional requirements for the installed waterproofing system.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Definitions and material scope
- Clear terminology for mastic asphalt formulations and product types relevant to waterproofing.
- Material characteristics
- Parameters and properties to be specified for mastic asphalt (e.g., composition and consistency as relevant to performance).
- Test methods
- Standardized laboratory and inspection methods to verify the declared characteristics of mastic asphalt products before supply.
- Manufacturing recommendations
- Guidance on production practices to ensure consistent quality and compliance with the standard.
- Transport and handling
- Recommendations for packaging, transport conditions and handling to preserve product integrity during delivery to site.
- Limitations
- The standard focuses on the product and tests; it does not include installation performance criteria or installed-system functional requirements.
Practical applications
EN 12970:2000 is directly applicable in contexts such as:
- Roofing (flat and pitched applications where mastic asphalt is specified)
- Parking decks and car parks requiring durable waterproof layers
- Tanking (below-ground waterproofing for basements and retaining structures)
- Bridge decks on concrete and steel structures where mastic asphalt is used for waterproofing or surfacing
- Use in combination with polymer bitumen sheets or as standalone mastic asphalt waterproofing
Who should use this standard
- Manufacturers and suppliers of mastic asphalt - to define product specifications and quality control
- Material testing laboratories - to perform and report standardized tests
- Specifiers, architects and civil engineers - to reference product requirements in procurement and design documents
- Contractors and site managers - to follow handling and transport guidance for delivered materials
- Procurement and quality assurance teams - to verify compliance before installation
Related guidance (high level)
- Other CEN standards and technical guidance on bituminous membranes, polymer-modified bitumen membranes and waterproofing test methods complement EN 12970:2000. Refer to national transpositions for local adoption and additional installation standards.
