BS EN 12310-2:2018 PDF Download

BS EN 12310-2:2018 is a standard that focuses on the determination of resistance to tearing in flexible sheets used for waterproofing, specifically plastic and rubber sheets used for roof waterproofing. The standard provides a method for assessing the tear properties of these sheets using a trapezoidal test specimen with a nick or cut. By conducting this test, manufacturers and users of these materials can determine their resistance to tearing, which is an important characteristic for evaluating their effectiveness in preventing water penetration. This standard helps establish consistent and reliable testing methods for assessing the tear resistance of flexible sheets, providing valuable information for decision making in the construction industry.
