1 Scope
This European Standard gives requirements and the corresponding test/assessment methods
applicable to leak detection lining kits and leak detection jacket kits. Leak detection lining kits and leak
detection jackets kits intended to be used to create an interstitial space or leakage containment in
single skin underground or above ground, non-pressurized, tanks designed for water polluting liquids.
The kit has to be used only in conjunction with leak detection kits covered by EN 13160-2 t
