CEN/TC 254/SC 2 - Synthetic sheets

This document specifies methods for the determination of the thickness and mass per unit area of plastic and rubber sheets for roof waterproofing.

This document specifies a method for the determination of tear properties of plastic and rubber sheets for roof waterproofing using a trapezoidal test specimen with a nick or cut.

This document specifies definitions and characteristics of flexible plastic and rubber sheets which are intended to be used as damp proofing for buildings, including basement tanking. It specifies the requirements and test methods, and provides for the evaluation of conformity of the products with the requirements of this standard.

This European Standard specifies the characteristics of flexible sheets of plastic or rubber intended for use as water vapour control layers for buildings and applies to both reinforced and unreinforced products. It specifies requirements and test methods and provides for the evaluation of conformity of the products with the requirements of this European Standard.

This European Standard specifies a method for determining the resistance to peeling of joints between two adjacent sheets of the same plastic or rubber sheets for waterproofing.
This test method will be used mainly for testing the joints in mechanically fastened plastic or rubber sheets for waterproofing.
The peel strength characterises the optimum joint strength which can be reached for a membrane and a joint technique under laboratory conditions. On roofs the joint strength could be clearly reduced due to the non-optimal conditions (e.g. pressure, temperature, humidity, pollution, workmanship). The requirement for the joint technique at the site is to ensure a permanently tight joint.

This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the resistance of plastic and rubber sheets for waterproofing to cracking when exposed, under static tensile strain, to air containing a definite concentration of ozone and at a definite temperature without the effects of direct light.

This European Standard specifies test methods for the determination of the tensile properties of plastic and rubber sheets for roof waterproofing.

This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the behaviour of plastic and rubber sheets for waterproofing to folding after exposure at a low temperature.

This European Standard specifies the determination of the resistance of flexible sheets for roofing to hail using a test for puncture by simulated hail.
This European Standard may also be applied for waterproofing.

This European Standard specifies the definitions and characteristics of plastic and rubber sheets including sheets made out of their blends and alloys (thermoplastic rubber) for which the intended use is roof waterproofing. It specifies the requirements and test methods and provides for the evaluation of conformity of the products with the requirements of this European Standard.
NOTE   For typical materials and applications, see Annex E.

This European Standard specifies the characteristics of flexible sheets of plastics and rubber intended for use as damp proof courses for buildings. It specifies the requirements and test methods and provides for the evaluation of conformity of the products with the requirements of this European Standard.
This European Standard does not cover related products such as preformed cavity trays, coping and flashings.

This European Standard specifies a method for determining the resistance to shearing of joints between two adjacent sheets of the same plastic or rubber sheets for roof waterproofing.
NOTE   The shearing characteristics of a joint between two widths of plastic or rubber sheets vary considerably depending on the material, method of jointing, the size of the overlap and the workmanship.

This European Standard specifies a method of exposing test specimens of plastic and rubber sheets for roofing, free from all external restraint, to liquid chemicals (including water), and methods for determining the changes in properties resulting from such exposure.

This European Standard specifies a method of exposing test specimens of plastic and rubber sheets for roofing free from all external restraint, to contact with bitumen at an elevated temperature and methods for determining the changes in properties resulting from such exposure.
The methods for determination of changes in properties are specified as follows:
a)   changes in mass directly after contact with bitumen;
b)   changes in physical properties after contact with bitumen.

This European Standard specifies methods for the determination of the visible defects of thermoplastic and elastomeric sheets for waterproofing, which could influence the functional behaviour of these sheets.

This European standard specifies a method for the determination of the dimensional variations after heating of thermoplastic and elastomeric roofing and sealing sheets. This is a test standard in support of the standardization of building products in the field of flexible sheets for waterproofing.

This European Standard specifies methods for the determination of length, width, straightness and flatness of thermoplastic and elastomeric sheets for roof waterproofing.

The scope of this amendment includes:

- removal of Product Data Sheets descriptions (e.g. clause 7 and Annex D)
- reference to CEN/TR 16625 for MLV/MDV
- correction of minor editorial issues.

TC - Modification to Table A.1

This European Standard specifies the definitions and characteristics of plastic and rubber sheets including sheets made out of their blends and alloys (thermoplastic rubber) for which the intended use is roof waterproofing. It specifies the requirements and test methods and provides for the evaluation of conformity of the products with the requirements of this European Standard.
NOTE   For typical materials and applications, see Annex E.

This European Standard specifies a method for determining the resistance to shearing of joints between two adjacent sheets of the same plastic or rubber sheets for roof waterproofing. NOTE The shearing characteristics of a joint between two widths of plastic or rubber sheets vary considerably depending on the material, method of jointing, the size of the overlap and the workmanship.

This European Standard specifies two methods for the determination of the tensile properties of plastic and rubber sheets for roof waterproofing: Method A based on EN/ISO 1421, is the preferred method which should be used for all materials. If method A is not suited to the material, i.e. the material does not rupture, method B based on ISO 37 can then be used to determine tensile properties.

This European Standard specifies methods for the determination of the thickness and the mass per unit area of plastic and rubber sheets for roof waterproofing.

This European Standard specifies a method of exposing test specimens of thermoplastic and elastomeric sheets for waterproofing, free from all external restraint, to liquid chemicals (including water), and methods for determining the changes in properties resulting from such exposure. Only testing by immersion of the entire surface of the test specimen is considered.
