Flexible Sheets for Waterproofing - Part 1: Bitumen Sheets for Roof Waterproofing; Determination of Shear Resistance of Joints
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 12317-1 standard focuses on the determination of shear resistance of joints in bitumen sheets used for roof waterproofing. It provides a test method that evaluates the ability of a joint between two adjacent sheets to withstand shearing forces. The standard is specifically applicable to mechanically fastened or ballasted single layer bitumen roofing systems.
It is important to note that this standard is not suitable for testing fully bonded or multilayer built up roofing systems. The shear characteristics of a joint between two bitumen sheets can vary depending on factors such as the method of jointing (e.g., flame or heat welding, hot adhesive or bitumen, cold adhesive), the size of the overlap, and the skill of the installer. As a result, this standard is intended for use in characterization tests and/or quality control for both the system and the installer.
