BS EN 15817:2011 PDF Download

BS EN 15817:2011 is a standard that outlines the procedure for assessing the water resistance of polymer modified bituminous thick coatings used for waterproofing purposes. The standard provides guidelines on how to test these coatings to ensure their effectiveness in preventing water ingress. This is important in various construction applications where waterproofing is essential, such as foundations, basements, and roofs.

The standard specifies the necessary steps and conditions for conducting the water resistance test. It defines the parameters that need to be measured, such as water penetration, and provides guidelines on the sample size and preparation. The testing procedure considers factors such as the duration and pressure of the water exposure to evaluate the coating's performance. These evaluations are important for ensuring the durability and effectiveness of the polymer modified bituminous thick coatings in preventing water leakage.
