DIN EN 16002 PDF Download

The DIN EN 16002 standard provides a test method for evaluating the resistance to wind load of mechanically fastened flexible sheets used for roof waterproofing. The standard aims to determine the ability of these sheets to withstand the forces exerted by wind, ensuring their durability and reliability in different weather conditions.

The test procedure outlined in the standard involves subjecting the flexible sheets to controlled wind pressures. This is done by creating a simulated wind environment in a test apparatus where varying pressures are applied to the sheet. The resistance of the sheet to these pressures is assessed by measuring the displacement or deformation that occurs due to the wind load.

By conducting this test, users can determine the suitability and performance of different types of mechanically fastened flexible sheets for roof waterproofing applications in terms of wind resistance. This information is valuable for architects, engineers, and construction professionals involved in selecting appropriate materials for roofing systems, ensuring their ability to withstand wind loads and minimize potential damage or failure.
