4 Product characteristics
4.1 General
When a tolerance is defined by this European Standard it does not have to be declared by the
manufacturer.
When tested for purposes other than type testing or factory production control (see 5.1), the tests to
determine product characteristics indicated in this European Standard shall be started within one
month of delivery from the manufacturer.
4.2 Sheet characteristics
4.2.1 Visible defects
The product shall be free of visible defects, as determined in accordance with EN 1850-2.
4.2.2 Dimensions, tolerances and mass per unit area
The length, width and straightness shall be determined in accordance with EN 1848-2. The length and
width shall not be shorter than the manufacturer's limiting value. The maximum deviation from
straightness shall not exceed 20 mm per 10 m length, or in proportion for other lengths (e.g. 10 mm per
5 m length).
Where a product is specified by mass per unit area, it shall be measured in accordance with EN 1849-2,
and the results shall lie within the declared tolerance of the manufacturer's declared value.
Where a product is specified by thickness, it shall be measured in accordance with EN 1849-2 and the
results shall lie within the declared tolerance of the manufacturer's declared value.
Where sheets with surfacing are specified by thickness, the measurement of thickness may additionally
be carried out on the selvedge. This shall be declared in the report.

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
oSIST prEN 17048:2016
prEN 17048:2016 (E)
4.2.3 Tensile properties
The tensile properties shall be determined in accordance with EN 12311-2 and the results (for the
longitudinal and transverse directions) shall lie within the declared tolerance of the manufacturer's
declared value.
4.2.4 Water absorption
The content of water absorbed shall be determined in accordance with EN 14223. The water absorption
shall be less than or equal to the manufacturer's limiting value.
4.2.5 Foldability at low temperature
The foldability at low temperature shall be determined in accordance with EN 495-5 and shall be less
than or equal to the manufacturer's limiting value.
This test does not give results directly corresponding to the application conditions in practice. Results
should only be used to compare products of similar thickness and construction.
In the case of sheets where the reinforcement is placed in the cross section visually closer to the upper
surface, the test shall be performed on the bottom face only.
If the upper surface is covered with a non- woven (e.g. tissue, fleece, etc.) the test shall be performed on
the bottom side only.
If the sheet on the upper surface is covered with permanent light surface protection and where the
reinforcement is placed in the cross section visually closer to the upper surface the test shall be
performed on the bottom side only.
4.2.6 Flow resistance at elevated temperature
If a bituminous layer is part of the plastic or rubber sheet the flow resistance at elevated temperature
shall be determined in accordance with EN 1110. The result shall be greater than or equal to the
manufacturer's limiting value (MLV).
4.2.7 Dimensional stability at elevated temperatures
The dimensional stability at elevated temperature shall be determined in accordance with EN 1107-2
(6 h at 80 °C). The result shall be less than or equal to the manufacturer's limiting value.
For plastic and rubber sheets to be used with a layer of mastic asphalt directly on the plastic and rubber
sheet, the dimensional stability at elevated temperatures (1 h at 160 °C) shall be evaluated in
accordance with Annex A when subject to regulatory requirements, and may be evaluated when not
subject to such requirements. The test result shall be less than or equal to the manufacturer's limiting
value.
NOTE The test at 80 °C is intended to determine the dimensional changes as a result of production-induced
internal stresses under the effect of heat. When combined with a mastic asphalt layer, the effect of heat is much
larger and can cause severe shrinkage to the plastic and rubber sheet. This effect is therefore declared as well for
sheets intended for use in combination with a mastic asphalt layer.
4.2.8 Thermal ageing behaviour
In order to verify the thermal ageing behaviour of the product, characteristics shall be determined
before and after exposure in accordance with EN 1296 for a period of 12 weeks at 70 °C. The relevant
characteristics are the foldability at low temperature before and after aging. The foldability at low
temperature shall be determined in accordance with EN 495-5 (see 4.2.5) and the results shall lie
within the declared tolerance of the manufacturer's declared value.

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
oSIST prEN 17048:2016
prEN 17048:2016 (E)
The purpose of testing in accordance with EN 1296 is to characterize the long-term thermal stability of
plastic and rubber sheets. The test does not give results corresponding to the service conditions in
practice. Results should only be used to compare products of similar thickness, construction and
composition, and they cannot be used for general durability classification. The chosen exposure
duration for artificial ageing in accordance to EN 1296 has no relevance to a real product lifetime.
4.3 Performance related characteristics
4.3.1 General
Test specimens for performance-related testing shall be prepared in accordance with EN 13375. Where
a sheet can be used in more than one waterproofing system, some of the following tests shall require
repeating.
4.3.2 Bond strength
The bond strength shall be determined in accordance with EN 13596, and shall be greater than or equal
to the manufacturer's limiting value.
4.3.3 Shear strength
The shear strength shall be determined in accordance with EN 13653, and shall be greater than or equal
to the manufacturer's limiting value.
4.3.4 Crack bridging ability
Where required the crack bridging ability of fully bonded plastic and rubber sheets shall be determined
in accordance with EN 14224 and the temperature shall be lower than or equal to the manufacturer's
limiting value. Testing on type 3 specimens covers also type 1 specimens.
The crack bridging ability shall be evaluated when subject to regulatory requirements, and may be
evaluated when not subject to such requirements.
4.3.5 Compatibility by heat conditioning
The compatibility by heat conditioning shall be determined in accordance with EN 14691. The test
result shall be greater than or equal to the manufacturer's limiting value.
4.3.6 Resistance to compaction of an asphalt layer
For plastic and rubber sheets to be used with a compacted asphalt layer directly on the plastic and
rubber sheet, the resistance of the plastic and rubber sheet to compaction of an asphalt layer shall be
determined in accordance with EN 14692, method 1 or 2, and a resistant result is required to
demonstrate product compliance with this European Standard.
4.3.7 Behaviour of plastic and rubber sheets during application of mastic asphalt
Plastic and rubber sheets intended for use with a protection layer of mastic asphalt shall be tested to
determine its behaviour during application of mastic asphalt in accordance with EN 14693. The test
results shall be less than or equal to the manufacturer’s limiting value.
4.3.8 Bitumen compatibility
Plastic and rubber sheets intended for use with a contact with bitumen or asphalt shall be bitumen
compatible tested in accordance with EN 1548.
The sheet is compatible with bitumen if:
a) for sheets with an inner carrier the change in mass shall be less than or equal to 5 %;
10

---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
oSIST prEN 17048:2016
prEN 17048:2016 (E)
b) for sheets without an inner carrier or backing the change in Young’s modulus shall be less than or
equal to 50 %.
Results obtained by this test method from sheets without an inner carrier or backing can be applied to
sheets manufactured with same chemical formulation but having inner carrier or backing. The results
obtained on a given thickness apply to any product of the same formulation with greater thickness.
4.3.9 Watertightness
The watertightness of the plastic and rubber sheet (or double sheet system) shall be determined in
accordance with EN 14694 without pretreatment and shall give a pass result.
4.4 Dangerous substances
National regulations on dangerous substances may require verification and declaration on release, and
sometimes content, when construction products covered by this standard are placed on those markets.
In the absence of European harmonized test methods, verification and declaration on release/content
should be done taking into account national provisions in the place of use.
NOTE An informative database covering European and national provisions on dangerous substances is
available at the Construction web site on EUROPA accessed through:
http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/construction/cpd-ds/
5 Assessment and verification of constancy of performance – AVCP
5.1 General
The compliance of the plastic and rubber sheets for waterproofing of concrete bridge decks and other
trafficked areas of concrete with the requirements of this standard and with the performances declared
by the manufacturer in the DoP (Declaration of Performance) shall be demonstrated by:

— factory production control by the manufacturer, including product assessment.
The manufacturer shall always retain the overall control and shall have the necessary means to take
responsibility for the conformity of the product with its declared performance(s).
NOTE The assignment of tasks to the notified body(ies) and the manufacturer is shown in Annex ZA, (Table
ZA.3).
5.2 Type testing
5.2.1 General
All performances related to characteristics included in this standard shall be determined when the
manufacturer intends to declare the respective performances unless the standard gives provisions for
declaring them without performing tests. (e.g. use of previously existing data, CWFT and conventionally
accepted performance).
