ASTM D6135-05 PDF Download

The ASTM D6135-05 standard provides recommendations for the installation of self-adhering modified bitumen sheets for waterproofing purposes. This practice is intended to be followed as a minimum requirement for the installation process.

According to the standard, the substrate on which the waterproofing is applied should be structurally sound and sloped to ensure proper drainage. It should also be able to support the weight of the membrane and other system materials. The standard assumes that the local building code requirements are met and that all components of the waterproofing system comply with relevant environmental regulations.

It is important to note that this standard only covers the installation of self-adhering modified bitumen sheets and does not include additional layers such as expansion joints, insulation, and drainage layers. These are considered beyond the scope of the practice and may require additional guidelines or standards.
