Flexible Sheets for Waterproofing - Determination of Foldability at Low Temperature - Part 5: Plastic and Rubber Sheets for Roof Waterproofing
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 495-5 standard focuses on determining the foldability of flexible sheets used for waterproofing at low temperatures. Specifically, it applies to plastic and rubber sheets used for roof waterproofing. The standard establishes a method for evaluating the behavior of these sheets in terms of their ability to fold after being exposed to low temperatures.
The purpose of this standard is to provide a standardized procedure for assessing the foldability of these materials, which is an important characteristic for their performance as waterproofing agents. By subjecting the sheets to low temperatures and then evaluating their ability to be folded, the standard aims to provide a reliable measure of their resistance to cold weather conditions.
This standard is part of a series of European standards that cover various aspects of flexible sheets for waterproofing. By ensuring that plastic and rubber sheets for roof waterproofing meet the requirements outlined in this standard, manufacturers and users can have confidence in the materials' ability to perform effectively, even in low-temperature environments.
