Overview

EN 13111:2010 - published by CEN - specifies a laboratory test method to determine the resistance to water penetration of flexible sheets used as underlays for discontinuous roofing and walls. This European Standard describes the test principle, apparatus, specimen preparation, procedure and reporting requirements for measuring how much water penetrates a sheet under a defined waterhead. EN 13111:2010 supersedes EN 13111:2001 and is intended as a product test method (it does not set performance pass/fail criteria).

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope: Applies to industrially manufactured underlays for discontinuous roofing and for walls; used in conjunction with standards that define underlay characteristics.
  • Test principle: A conditioned test specimen is mounted as a water-carrying layer in a flanged container; a defined volume of water is applied and any water penetrating the specimen is collected and volumetrically measured.
  • Apparatus and test area:
    • Test area: 0.045 m².
    • Two accepted internal container sizes (examples): (300 ± 1) mm × (150 ± 1) mm or (250 ± 1) mm × (180 ± 1) mm; container includes flange, counter-frame, seal and an inclined plane at (45 ± 2)°.
  • Specimen preparation and conditioning:
    • Sampling in accordance with EN 13416.
    • Cut three specimens evenly across the width; minimum specimen dimensions depend on container choice (e.g., ≥ 350 × 200 mm or 300 × 230 mm).
    • Condition specimens 24 h at (23 ± 2) °C before testing.
  • Procedure:
    • Test temperature (23 ± 2) °C.
    • Pour (2,25 ± 0,02) L of demineralised water into the device within 1 minute down the inclined plane.
    • Test duration: 3 h ± 5 min after filling; protect against vibrations.
  • Result measurement and reporting:
    • Penetrated water collected in a basin, measured volumetrically or by weighing.
    • Report individual specimen volumes with an accuracy of 2 ml, rounded to the nearest 1 ml.
    • Test report must identify product details, reference EN 13111, list test conditions and individual results.

Applications and users

  • Manufacturers of bitumen, plastic or rubber underlays use EN 13111:2010 to characterize water penetration resistance of products for under-roofing and wall applications.
  • Laboratories and test houses performing product type testing or quality control.
  • Specifiers, architects and roofing consultants who need objective test data when selecting underlays for discontinuous roofing systems or rainscreen/ventilated façades.
  • Regulatory bodies and certification schemes requiring standardized test data (note: EN 13111 defines the test method only; acceptance criteria come from product standards or client requirements).

Related standards

  • EN 13416 - Flexible sheets for waterproofing - Rules for sampling (normative reference used by EN 13111).
  • Other EN standards that define underlay definitions and performance characteristics should be consulted alongside EN 13111 when specifying or assessing products.
