Overview

This standard has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 249 "Plastics", the secretariat of which is held by NBN (Belgium). Regarding the German collaboration, the responsible Committee is NA 054-04-03 AA "Baubahnen" ("Construction membranes") of Plastics Standards Committee (FNK). EN 15836 consists of the following parts, under the title "Plastics - Plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-P) membranes for inground swimming pools - Part 1: Homogenous membranes of nominal thickness equal to or greater than 0,75 mm" (this standard); "Part 2: Reinforced membranes of nominal thickness equal to or greater than 1,5 mm". This document specifies the visual, mechanical, dimensional and durability characteristics of plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-P) homogenous membranes of nominal thickness greater than or equal to 0,75 mm for use as liners for inground swimming pools. It also specifies the characteristics of the composition of the PVC-P used to produce the membranes. It applies specifically to homogenous membranes intended for use in swimming pools where the water temperature is ≤ 28 °C. This document also applies if the membrane manufacturer permits a temperature of water continuously maintained above 28 °C.
