1 Scope This European Standard specifies a method to determine the resistance of roof waterproofing sheets to root penetration. This European Standard relates exclusively to sheets. It is not possible to test a system comprising several different sheets. This European Standard does not contain any evaluation of the sheet to be tested in respect of its environmental requirements. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

The test specimens of the sheet are installed in 6 test containers. The sheet shall have four wall corner joints, two base corner joints and one central T joint (see Figure 2). Additionally there shall be two control containers without sheets providing a comparison of the vitality of the plants in the test and control containers throughout the whole test period. The containers receive a layer of growing substrate and a dense covering of vegetation. This produces a high growing pressure from the roots, emphasised by a limited amount of fertiliser and a moderate watering. The test and control containers are exposed in a climate-controlled greenhouse, in which the parameters having an influence on the growing of the plants can be controlled. The growing period is 2 years as this period is the minimum time necessary to obtain reliable results. SIST EN 13948:2007

It shall be permanently kept moist to encourage the roots to draw down onto the transparent base, in order to observe any early penetration of the roots This layer shall be composed of expanded slate/clay (grain fraction 8/16) of a quality suitable for use in hydroponics systems. When determined in accordance with EN 13038, the expanded slate/clay shall have an electrical conductivity of < 15,0 mS/m. 5.4 Pressure distributio
