This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.
Designation:D6506–01 Designation: D 6506 – 01 (Reapproved 2009)
Standard Specification for
Asphalt Based Protection Board for Below-Grade
Waterproofing
This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 6506; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
1. Scope
1.1 Thisspecificationcoversanasphaltbasedprotectionboardusedforprotectingtheintegrityofbelowgradeorbelowwearing
surface waterproofing.The protection board protects the waterproofing system from backfill, surfacing, construction activities, and
weathering conditions prior to backfilling or applying surfacing.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.

3. Classification
3.1 Two Classes of Product are Covered in This Specification:
3.1.1 Class A, is made with asphalt saturated organic felt on the bottom and a coated or saturated non-woven glass felt on top.
3.1.2 Class B, is made with glass fabrics both top and bottom.
3.1.3 Classes A and B, each include three thicknesses of board. If desired, one side of each of these classes may be covered with
a thin plastic antistick sheet.
4. Materials and Manufacture
4.1 The protection board shall be comprised of layers of asphalt and reinforcing mat. One surface of the board will be uniformly
coated with a bituminous material for limited weather protection.
4.2 The length and width measurements shall be as specified by the manufacturer. The tolerances of these dimensions (length
and width) shall be 66mm( ⁄4 in.)
4.3 The surfaces of the protection board shall be uniform and free from defects such as cracks and indentations.The edges shall
be uniform.
5. Sampling
5.1 Each sample shall consist of sufficient material to provide at least five specimens for the tests listed in Section 7. One
representative sample shall be selected for each shipment of 10 000 ft or fraction thereof.
6. Physical Requirements
6.1 Nominal thicknesses of protection board are as follows:
This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D08 on Roofing, Waterproofing and Bituminous Materials and is the direct responsibility of
