 For durability against chemicals, EN 1847:2009 of TC 254 is used instead of special Annex C.
 The minimum tolerance for the water vapour transmission is fixed.
 The rules for mounting and fixing for reaction of fire testing are improved and the variation of products where results apply are fixed. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s). For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. This European Standard is a general product standard for flexible sheets of plastics intended for damp proof sheets, including plastics basement tanking sheets, for use in buildings. This standard is one of a series of product standards for factory made flexible sheets for use in buildings. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.
Note 1 to entry: The manufacturer's limiting value can be a minimum value or a maximum value, according to statements made under product characteristics of this standard. 3.5 manufacturer's declared value MDV value declared by the manufacturer accompanied by a declared tolerance 3.6 plastic sheet factory-made flexible sheet made from a plastic polymeric material and which may include composites of other materials 3.7 rubber sheet factory-made flexible sheet made from an elastomeric polymeric material and which may include composites of other materials 3.8 sampling procedure used to select or constitute a sample 3.9 sample sheet from which a test piece is taken SIST EN 13967:2012

4 Product designation The types of damp proof sheets covered by this document are designated as follows: TYPE A damp proof sheet; TYPE V damp proof ventilating or draining sheet; TYPE T tanking sheet. 5 Product characteristics 5.1 General 5.1.1 Where a tolerance is specified by this document, it does not have to be declared by the manufacturer. 5.1.2 When tested for purposes other than initial type testing or factory production control, the tests to determine product characteristics indicated in this document shall be started within 1 month of delivery from the manufacturer. 5.2 Deviation from test sample dimensions Where the contours of the product make it impossible to obtain a test sample of the required dimensions, or otherwise render the test impracticable, testing may be carried out either on samples of different dimensions, or if still impracticable, on the equivalent flat sheet of the same thickness as the finished product. Any such deviations from the test method shall be recorded on the test report and the product data sheet. 5.3 Visible defects The product shall be free of visible defects as determined in accordance with EN 1850-2. 5.4 Dimensions and tolerances The length, width and straightness shall be determined in accordance with EN 1848-2. The length and width shall lie within the declared tolerance of the manufacturer's declared value (MDV). The maximum deviation from straightness shall not exceed 75 mm per 10 m length or shall be in the same proportion for other lengths (e.g. 37,5 mm per 5 m length). 5.5 Thickness and mass per unit area The thickness and mass per unit area shall be determined in accordance with EN 1849-2. SIST EN 13967:2012

Durability 5.8.1 Against ageing/degradation In order to verify the artificial ageing behaviour of the product, watertightness shall be determined after exposure in accordance with EN 1296 for a period of 12 weeks. The watertightness shall be determined in accordance with EN 1928:2000 Method A or B. Type A and V damp proof sheets shall be tested at a pressure of 2 kPa and Type T tanking sheets at a pressure of 60 kPa, and shall give a pass result. 5.8.2 Against chemicals In order to verify the durability of the products, the sheet shall be tested before and after exposure to chemicals in accordance with EN 1847. The sheet shall be watertight as determined in accordance EN 1928:2000 Method A or B, with a pressure of 2 kPa for Types A and V damp proof sheets and a pressure of 60 kPa for Type T damp proof sheets, both before and after long-term exposure to alkali, in accordance with EN 1847:2009 test liquid 2 (milk of lime), 28 d, 23 °C. 5.9 Compatibility with bitumen Where required, the product shall be exposed to bitumen for 28 days at 70 °C using the method given in EN 1548, but with a sample size large enough to provide a 200 mm diameter circular sample after exposure. It shall be watertight when subsequently tested in accordance with Method A of EN 1928:2000. Type A and V damp proof sheets shall be tested at a pressure of 2 kPa and Type T tanking sheets at a pressure of 60 kPa. 5.10 Resistance to tearing (nail shank) For unreinforced sheets, the tear resistance (nail shank) shall be determined in accordance with EN 12310-1 and shall be greater than or equal to the manufacturer's limiting value. For reinforced sheets the tear resistance (nail shank) shall be determined in accordance with Annex B of EN 13859-1:2010 and shall be greater than or equal to the manufacturer's limiting value. 5.11 Joint strength Where required, the joint strength shall be determined in accordance with EN 12317-2 and shall be greater than or equal to the manufacturer's limiting value. SIST EN 13967:2012

EN 13859-1:2010 and shall be greater than or equal to the manufacturer's limiting value for the longitudinal and transverse directions of the sheet. 5.15 Resistance to deformation under load The resistance of ventilating or draining damp proof sheets to deformation under load shall be determined in accordance with Annex B and the results shall be less than or equal to the manufacturer's limiting value of deformation at the defined load and the defined time. 5.16 Reaction to fire Where required, the product shall be tested and classified in accordance with EN 13501-1:2007+A1:2009, Table 1. According to EN ISO 11925-2, the test is required to be undertaken on the exposed surface of the delivered flexible sheet membrane (surface exposure), free hanging without any substrate, in one direction only. The reinforcement shall be stated by the manufacturer as “organic” or “inorganic”. a) Test results from EN ISO 11925-2 for a given product shall apply to all colors (including black and white). b) Test results from EN ISO 11925-2 for a given product without an inner layer (homogenous) shall apply to a comparable product with an additional organic inner layer (lower than 150g/m2) or any additional inorganic layer. c) Test results from EN ISO 11925-2 for a product with a thickness of above 1 mm shall apply to any comparable product with a higher thickness up to a limit of 3 mm respectively d) Test results from EN ISO 11925-2 for a given product with a backing shall apply to a comparable product with a backing of the same type of lower mass per unit area or no backing. NOTE Whether the Euroclasses Classification system at Classes D and above requires investigation to determine its appropriateness to the products covered by this document is currently under consideration. (In particular it is thought that the SBI test may be inappropriate for products covered by the standard.) Pending results of such an investigation and discussions in the Fire Experts Group, products covered by this document are tested to EN ISO 11925-2. If and when a new fire test scenario and test method are developed for the products, this document will be amended to refer to them. 5.17 Dangerous substances NOTE For products placed on the market within the European Economic Area, see ZA.1.

EN ISO 9001 shall be applied in full and shall be made specific to the requirements of this document. The results of inspections, tests or assessments requiring action shall be recorded, as shall any action taken. The action to be taken when control values or criteria are not met shall be recorded.
