Overview

EN 13859-1:2014 - published by CEN - defines the definitions, characteristics and conformity requirements for factory-made flexible sheets used as underlays for discontinuous roofing (e.g. under tiles and slates). The standard specifies which product characteristics must be declared, the required test methods, sampling and assessment procedures, and the framework for evaluation of conformity (AVCP) and CE marking under the EU Construction Products Regulation (CPR).

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope & definitions: covers flexible sheets of plastics, bitumen, rubber or other suitable materials used as underlays for sloping, discontinuous roofs; includes manufacturer-declared and limiting values (MDV, MLV).
  • Product characteristics: dimensional stability, thickness, mass per unit area, straightness, application-related characteristics (including the recently added emissivity), and dangerous substances.
  • Testing & sampling: procedures for sampling, type testing and routine testing using referenced test methods (examples referenced in the standard include EN 12311-1 for tensile properties, EN 12310-1 for resistance to tearing, EN 1928 for watertightness, EN 1931 for vapour transmission, and EN 1297/1296 for artificial ageing).
  • Annexes with methods: normative annexes detail test procedures - tensile properties, tear resistance, artificial ageing (UV/heat), watertightness of seams, and rules for product-type determination and FPC testing frequency.
  • Assessment & verification of constancy of performance (AVCP): requirements for type testing, Factory Production Control (FPC) and documentation. Annex ZA maps standard clauses to CPR provisions, and includes guidance for Declaration of Performance (DoP) and CE marking.
  • Product information & labelling: requirements for product data sheets, marking, labelling and packaging to support correct selection and installation.

Applications

  • Specifies how to assess and declare performance of underlay membranes used beneath tiles, slates and other discontinuous roof coverings.
  • Used to determine suitability for moisture control, water tightness, vapour management, mechanical durability and durability to ageing for roof underlays.
  • Forms the technical basis for CE marking and placing flexible underlays on the EU market in compliance with CPR.

Who should use this standard

  • Manufacturers of flexible roofing underlays (bitumen, plastic, rubber).
  • Test laboratories performing type and routine tests for tensile strength, tear resistance, watertightness and ageing.
  • Architects, specifiers and roofing contractors selecting compliant underlays for discontinuous roofs.
  • Certification bodies and regulatory authorities assessing AVCP, DoP and CE marking compliance.
