EN 12311-1 Flexible sheets for waterproofing — Determination of tensile properties — Part 1: Bitumen sheets for roof waterproofing
At a Glance
Document type: Test Method.
Edition: published European standard.
Property determined: tensile properties.
Scope
Specifies a method for determining the tensile properties of bitumen sheets for roofing.
Intended for initial type testing and for quality control.
One of a series of test methods for characterizing or classifying bitumen sheets as manufactured or supplied before use.
The methods relate exclusively to products, or to their components where appropriate, and not to waterproofing membrane systems composed of such products and installed in the works.
What the Result Tells You
A test to EN 12311-1 characterises the tensile properties of the material or assembly under the conditions the method fixes: specimen form, rate of loading and the environment in which the test is run.
Because the numbers depend on those fixed conditions, a result is only meaningful when the report names the standard, the edition and any options the method allows.
