General Information

Overview
SIST EN 12310-1:2025 is a European standard developed by CEN that specifies the method for determining the resistance to tearing by a nail shank of bitumen sheets used for roof waterproofing. This standard is essential for evaluating the mechanical durability of bitumen waterproofing membranes under conditions simulating mechanical stress caused by nail penetrations. It replaces the previous EN 12310-1:1999 version and provides updated test procedures ensuring consistent and reliable characterization of roofing bitumen sheets.
Key Topics
Scope and Application
- The standard applies exclusively to bitumen sheets intended for waterproofing roofs.
- It addresses the resistance of these sheets to tearing when pierced by a nail shank, which is critical in roofing installation and durability.
Test Principles
- The method measures tensile force required to tear a specimen pierced by a standardized nail shank.
- Force is applied perpendicular to the nail shank axis using a tensile testing machine.
Test Apparatus
- Requires a tensile testing machine with a minimum load capacity of 2000 N and controlled grip separation speed.
- Uses a stirrup assembly to hold the specimen; the nail shank is sharpened and of fixed diameter (2.5 ± 0.1 mm).
- Gripping systems must prevent slippage during testing and avoid premature specimen failure at grips.
Sampling and Preparation
- Specimens are cut from bitumen sheets following EN 13416 sampling rules.
- Test pieces measure approximately 100 mm by 200 mm, taken from both longitudinal and transverse directions.
- Conditioning of specimens is required at 23 ± 2 °C and 30-70% relative humidity for at least 20 hours before testing.
Test Procedure
- The nail shank penetrates the specimen at a defined location, held in the stirrup.
- The tensile machine pulls the nail shank through the specimen at a controlled speed of 100 ± 10 mm/min.
- The maximum tearing force is continuously recorded and used for evaluation.
Evaluation and Reporting
- Resistance to tearing is expressed as the maximum force measured during the test.
- Results are reported as an average of at least five specimens per direction.
- Test reports must include product identification, test conditions, sampling details, test results, and date.
Normative References
- Incorporates references to EN 13416 for sampling procedures and EN ISO 7500-1 for calibration and force measurement accuracy.
Applications
Roof Waterproofing Quality Control
- Ensures that bitumen sheets used in roofing projects meet minimum mechanical resistance standards for installation durability.
- Assists manufacturers, suppliers, and quality assurance laboratories with standardized methods to verify nail shank tear resistance.
Product Development and Certification
- Provides a reliable benchmark for testing new bitumen sheet formulations and reinforcements intended to improve tear resistance.
- Supports certification and compliance with European product standards essential for market access and regulatory approvals.
Construction and Installation Planning
- Enables contractors and specifiers to select bitumen sheets with verified mechanical properties, reducing installation failures related to tearing around fixings.
