Flexible Sheets for Waterproofing - Part 1: Bitumen Sheets for Roof Waterproofing; Determination of Peel Resistance of Joints
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 12316-1 standard focuses on flexible sheets for waterproofing, specifically on bitumen sheets used for roof waterproofing. The standard specifies a test method for determining the peel resistance of joints between two adjacent sheets of the same bitumen-based roofing material.
This test method is intended to be used for mechanically fastened or ballasted single layer bitumen roofing systems, and is not suitable for fully bonded or multilayer built up roofing. The resistance to peeling of the joint is influenced by various factors, such as the method of jointing (flame or heat welding, hot adhesive or bitumen, cold adhesive, etc.), the overlap size, and the workmanship.
The purpose of this standard is to provide a characterization test for the joints and to ensure quality control for both the roofing system and the installer. By determining the peel resistance of the joints, the standard helps to assess the performance and durability of bitumen-based roofing sheets in roof waterproofing applications.
