Polymer-modified bituminous thick coatings for waterproofing - Resistance to rain; German version EN 15816:2011
Kunststoffmodifizierte Bitumendickbeschichtungen zur Bauwerksabdichtung - Beständigkeit gegen Regen; Deutsche Fassung EN 15816:2011
Overview
This European Standard specifies a procedure for determining the resistance to rain of polymer modified bituminous thick coatings for waterproofing. This test provides an indication of the resistance of a freshly applied polymer modified bituminous thick coating to rain. The time after which a coating layer can be said to be resistant to rain under the conditions prevailing on the building site can vary quite considerably from the time determined in the laboratory. The measured values are therefore primarily suitable for use to compare the resistance of different products to rain. The Committee responsible for this standard is NA 005-02-19 AA "Kunststoffmodifizierte Bitumendickbeschichtung zur Bauwerksabdichtung (SpA zu CEN/TC 361)" ("Polymer modified bituminous thick coatings for waterproofing (Mirror Committee of CEN/TC 361)") at DIN.
