Flexible sheets for waterproofing - Part 1: Bitumen sheets for roof waterproofing - Determination of shear resistance of joints
This European Standard specifies a test method for determining the resistance to shearing of a joint between two adjacent sheets of the same bitumen-based roofing sheets. This European Standard is to be used for testing the joints in mechanically fastened or ballasted single layer bitumen roofing. It is not designed for testing fully bonded or multilayer built up roofing.

Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Verfahren für die Bestimmung des Scherwiderstandes einer Fügenaht zwischen zwei angrenzenden Bitumen-Dachdichtungsbahnen gleichen Typs fest. Dieses Verfahren wird in hauptsächlich angewandt für die Prüfung von Fügenähten in mechanisch befestigten oder mit Auflast versehenen einlagigen Abdichtungen auf Bitumenbasis.
Feuilles souples d'étanchéité - Partie 1: Feuilles d'étanchéité de toiture bitumineuses - Détermination de la résistance au cisaillement des joints
Cette norme européenne décrit une méthode pour la détermination de la résistance au cisaillement des joints formés entre deux feuilles adjacentes, constituées du même type de feuilles bitumineuses. Cette méthode d'essai est principalement utilisée pour tester les joints des feuilles bitumineuses pour l'étanchéité de toiture appliquées en monocouche avec fixations mécaniques ou avec lestage.

Overview
EN 12317-1:1999 is a European Standard developed by CEN that specifies a test method for evaluating the shear resistance of joints in bitumen-based roofing sheets. These flexible sheets are widely used for waterproofing applications in roofing systems. This standard focuses specifically on mechanically fastened or ballasted single-layer bitumen roofing and provides a reliable procedure to assess the durability and integrity of sheet overlaps subjected to shear stresses. It does not apply to fully bonded or multilayer built-up roofing configurations.
Key Topics
- Shear Resistance Testing: Defines a standardized method to determine the resistance of joints between two adjacent bitumen sheets under shear loading.
- Scope Limitation: Applicable only to mechanically fastened or ballasted single-layer bitumen roofing membranes, excluding fully bonded or multilayer systems.
- Material Type: Covers bitumen-based flexible sheets used for roof waterproofing.
- Testing Procedure: Details preparation, specimen configuration, and testing conditions to ensure consistent and repeatable results.
- Performance Metrics: Measures joint strength to ensure reliability against shear forces encountered in practical installations.
Applications
- Roof Waterproofing Quality Control: Ensures that bitumen sheet joints meet necessary strength criteria to prevent leakage and failure under mechanical stresses.
- Construction Compliance: Assists manufacturers, contractors, and certification bodies in verifying product conformity with European waterproofing standards.
- Material Development: Supports R&D efforts for improving joint adhesives and sheet materials by providing standardized test results.
- Maintenance and Inspection: Informs assessments of existing bitumen roofing installations by evaluating joint integrity.
- Specification Reference: Used in technical specifications and tender documents for roofing projects requiring standardized quality assurance.
