Flexible Sheets for Waterproofing - Bitumen, Plastic, and Rubber Sheets for Roof Waterproofing - Method of Artificial Ageing by Long Term Exposure to the Combination of UV Radiation, Elevated Temperature, and Water
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 1297 standard outlines a method for subjecting factory-made bitumen, plastic, and rubber sheets used for roof waterproofing to artificial ageing through a combination of long-term exposure to UV radiation, elevated temperature, and water. This standard aims to establish a consistent procedure for simulating the natural ageing process for all types of flexible sheets used in roof waterproofing. The method outlined in the standard is applicable not only to roofing applications but also to other relevant areas. By subjecting these materials to a controlled environment that mimics the effects of prolonged exposure to sunlight, high temperatures, and water, the standard provides a way to evaluate their durability and performance over time.
