Overview
EN 12730:2015 defines a standardized laboratory test for the resistance to static loading (puncture by static loading) of flexible sheets for roof waterproofing - including bitumen, plastic and rubber sheets. Developed by CEN, the method characterises how membranes behave under concentrated, long‑term mechanical stress (static loads applied over time). The standard applies to factory-produced sheets (pre‑installation) and can also be used for waterproofing products beyond roofing.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Test principle: a 10 mm diameter steel ball puncturing tool applies a concentrated load through a loading rod and discs onto a membrane laid on either a soft or hard support.
- Test methods:
- Method A (soft support) - represents unprotected sheets; downward movement limited to 40 mm.
- Method B (hard support) - loose-laid on concrete paving slab to simulate rigid substrate.
- Method C (soft support, protection layer) - for sheets that require protective layers; downward movement limited to 10 mm.
- Apparatus details: calibrated loading rod (2 kg mass), loading discs (3 kg and 5 kg), ball puncturing tool hardened to ~50 HRC, guide rail, clamp/frame and supports.
- Supports: soft support is EPS (CS(10)150) sized 300×300×50 mm (see EN 13163); hard support is concrete slab 300×300×40 mm.
- Specimens & conditioning: three specimens per loading stage; specimen sizes 550×550 mm (Methods A/C) and 300×300 mm (Method B); conditioned at (23 ± 2) °C for ≥24 h.
- Loading procedure: loads applied in 5 kg steps starting at 5 kg up to 20 kg; each loading interval held for 24 h.
- Leak detection: vacuum/pressure device (≥20 mm inner diameter) and 15 kPa pressure difference; no visible bubbles within 60 s = not punctured.
- Result expression: the maximum load not causing leakage in 3/3 specimens for the chosen method.
Practical applications and users
- Manufacturers use EN 12730:2015 for product development, quality control and compliance claims on static puncture resistance.
- Third‑party test laboratories perform certified testing for CE marking and technical data sheets.
- Specifiers, architects and roofing contractors reference results when selecting membranes for roofs subject to static loads (e.g., foot traffic, mounted equipment, temporary scaffolding).
- Procurement and certification bodies use the standard to verify product suitability in tendering and compliance processes.
Related standards

The SIST EN 12730:2015 standard focuses on the evaluation of the resistance of flexible sheets for waterproofing, specifically bitumen, plastic, and rubber sheets used in roofing applications, to static loading. Its clearly defined scope highlights the importance of determining the puncture resistance of roofing membranes, which is critical for ensuring long-term durability and performance under static conditions. One of the key strengths of the SIST EN 12730:2015 standard is its comprehensive testing method, which simulates mechanical stress through long-term static loading. This addresses a significant aspect of waterproofing systems since roofing membranes often experience prolonged stress from environmental factors, rather than just immediate, dynamic impacts. By grounding the method in the static category of load, the standard provides a reliable means to predict the behavior and longevity of waterproofing materials in real-world applications. Furthermore, the relevance of this standard extends beyond roofing applications to other waterproofing solutions, making it a versatile tool for manufacturers and suppliers in the construction industry. By adhering to the SIST EN 12730:2015 standard, stakeholders can ensure compliance with European regulations, promote high-quality products, and enhance consumer trust in waterproofing systems. In summary, SIST EN 12730:2015 serves as an essential guideline for assessing the resilience of roofing and waterproofing membranes against static loading, establishing a foundation for quality assurance and performance reliability in flexible sheets for waterproofing.
