For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 13416:2001EN 13375, EN
13375:2004EN 14695, prEN 17048 and prEN 14695:2003the following apply.
3.1
resistance to compaction
ability of a waterproofing system to resist the compaction of an asphalt concrete overlay without damage
4 Test methods
4.1 Principle
The test consists of compacting ana defined asphalt layer of a determined composition on a
bitumenwaterproofi ng sheet laid on a base specimen.
It may be carried out in two alternative ways:
— Method 1: The asphalt layer is laid directly on the sheet bonded to the base specimen;
— Method 2: A de-bonding interface is laid between the base specimen and the sheet and between the sheet
and the asphalt layer.
After compacting of the test specimen, the bitumenwaterproofing sheet is recovered for observation of its
condition and any perforations. Depending on the results of the observations, the watertightness of the
recovered bitumenwaterproofing sheet should be checked.
1
4.2 Apparatus and materials
4.2.1 Compaction equipment, as referred to in EN 13375.
4.2.2 Standard equipment and materials, such as, site gas torch, brush, etc.
4.2.3 Oven, with circulating air (without fresh supply), capable of maintaining (100 ± 5) °C
4.3 Preparation of test specimens
4.3.1 General
Take samples and test pieces in accordance with EN 13416.

4.3.2 Test specimen with sheet bonded to the base specimen (Method 1)
The test specimen is prepared in accordance with EN 13375. The size of the test specimen is 600 mm × 400 mm.
4.3.3 Test specimen with sheet not bonded to the base specimen (Method 2)
Place a de-bonding interface between the base specimen and the bitumenwaterproofing sheet, and on the upper
surface of the bitumen sheetwaterproofing to prevent the asphalt layer adhering to it.
For the interface between the base specimen and the bitumenwaterproofing sheet, use one non-woven glass
fibre sheet of (70 ± 5) g/m 2.
For the interface between the bitumenwaterproofing sheet and the asphalt layer mix, use two non-woven glass
fibre sheets of (70 ± 5) g/m2.
The size of the test specimen is 300600 mm x 300× 400 mm [400 mm × 400 mm, resp. 500 mm × 500 mm].
4.3.4 Asphalt layer, compaction and test specimens
4.3.4.1 General
Lay and compact the asphalt layer mix in accordance with EN 13375.
4.3.4.2 Test specimen with sheet bonded to the base specimen (Method 1)
In the case of the sheet bonded to the base specimen, obtain four equal parts by wet sawing the test specimen,
prepared as described in 4.3.1 and 4.3.2.
4.3.4.3 Test specimen with sheet not bonded to the base specimen (Method 2)
In the case of test specimens with de-bonding interfaces, let the asphalt layer cool and remove the sheet for
visual inspection and testing.
4.4 Procedure
4.4.1.1 Inspect visually the cross-section of the parts of the test specimen to check the sheet/asphalt layer
interface, and whether any binder from the sheet is bleeding into the asphalt layer.
4.4.1.2 Heat two parts of the test specimen in an oven at (100 ± 5) °C for (120 ± 5) min.
4.4.1.3 Separate the bitumen sheet manually from the base specimen and asphalt layer, taking care not to
destroy the asphalt layer so that its interface surface can be examined.
2
4.4.1.4 Check the condition of the bitumen sheet that was removed from the part of the test specimen,
and hold up to the light to detect any perforations due to compacting of the asphalt layer.
4.4.1.5 RemoveFor bitumen sheets remove the binder from the reinforcement by extraction (for
example with toluene as solvent).
4.4.1.6 Dry the reinforcement in an oven at (100 ± 5) °C for 30 min approximately, and hold up to the
light to detect any perforations.
4.4.1.7 In case of perforations, test on the two remaining parts of the test specimen (see 4.4.1.2) the
waterproofing complex (bitumen sheet and asphalt layer) for watertightness according to the
test method described in normative Annex A.
Separate the bitumenwaterproofing sheet, and visually inspect its condition. If the visual inspection reveals
perforations in the bitumenwaterproofing sheet, the watertightness test need not be performed. If the visual
inspection reveals no perforations in the bitumen sheet, test the bitumenwaterproofing sheet for
watertightness according to EN 1928, Method AB with a pressure of 100 kPa for 24 h.
4.5 Expression of results
4.5.1 Visual inspection test
For Method 1: Report any perforation after the operations of 4.4.1. In case of no perforations, express the
resistance to compaction of an asphalt layer as “resistant”.
For Method 2: Report any perforation after the operations of 4.4.2. In case of perforations, express the
resistance to compaction of an asphalt layer as “not resistant”.
4.5.2 Watertightness test
For Method 1: In case of perforations detected according to 4.4.1, express the resistance to compaction of an
asphalt layer as “resistant” if no leak is detected when tested according to annexAnnex A.
For Method 2: Express the resistance to compaction as “resistant” if the bitumenwaterproofing sheet does not
leak when tested according to the method given in 4.4.2.
4.5.3 Precision of the test method
No precision data isare currently available.
4.6 Test report
The test report shall include at least the following information:
a) all details necessary to identify the product tested and identification of the whole waterproofing system
including asphalt layer and application temperature, type and quantity of the primer;
b) a reference to this document and any deviation from it;
c) information on preparation of test specimens in accordance with 4.3 and EN 13375, and prepared by and
witnessed by which organization;
d) the dates of delivery of sample and preparation of test specimens;

Determination of watertightness for Method 1
A.1 General
A.1.1 Purpose of the test
The purpose of the test method is to determine the watertightness of test specimen according to Method 1
(4.1).
A.1.2 Principle of the method
The test consists of subjecting a specimen of the waterproofing system in a closed cell to a specified water
pressure and observing the absence of water transmission through the system.
A.2 Equipment
A.2.1 Apparatus, suitable for applying pressures up to 1 MPa in measuring cells in which the test specimens
to be tested are placed (see an example of apparatus in Figure A.1).
A.3 Test specimens
Obtain test specimens with a diameter of 150 mm and a maximum thickness of 70 mm by coring.
After coring, heat the test specimens under a controlled temperature (4.4.1), and separate the complex at the
waterproofing/concrete interface.
A.4 Test procedure
A.4.1 Installation of test specimens
Place the lower shells of the measuring cells and tins of hard bitumen (20/30 pen) in an oven at 140 °C for at
least 2 h.
Remove the lower shells from the oven and place the test specimens in them. Pour the hot bitumen into the gap
between the test specimen and the side of the test cell in order to ensure a perfect seal.
After cooling, fit the cells with the top shell and connect to the apparatus (see Figure A.1).

4.3.4.2 Test specimen with sheet bonded to the base specimen (Method 1)
In the case of the sheet bonded to the base specimen, obtain four equal parts by wet sawing the test
specimen, prepared as described in 4.3.1 and 4.3.2.
4.3.4.3 Test specimen with sheet not bonded to the base specimen (Method 2)
In the case of test specimens with de-bonding interfaces, let the asphalt layer cool and remove the sheet
for visual inspection and testing.
4.4 Procedure
4.4.1.1 Inspect visually the cross-section of the parts of the test specimen to check the
sheet/asphalt layer interface, and whether any binder from the sheet is bleeding into the asphalt layer.
4.4.1.2 Heat two parts of the test specimen in an oven at (100 ± 5) °C for (120 ± 5) min.
4.4.1.3 Separate the sheet manually from the base specimen and asphalt layer, taking care not to
destroy the asphalt layer so that its interface surface can be examined.

4.4.1.4 Check the condition of the sheet that was removed from the part of the test specimen, and
hold up to the light to detect any perforations due to compacting of the asphalt layer.
4.4.1.5 For bitumen sheets remove the binder from the reinforcement by extraction (for example
with toluene as solvent).
4.4.1.6 Dry the reinforcement in an oven at (100 ± 5) °C for 30 min approximately, and hold up to
the light to detect any perforations.
4.4.1.7 In case of perforations, test on the two remaining parts of the test specimen (see 4.4.1.2) the
waterproofing complex (bitumen sheet and asphalt layer) for watertightness according to the test
method described in Annex A.
Separate the waterproofing sheet, and visually inspect its condition. If the visual inspection reveals
perforations in the waterproofing sheet, the watertightness test need not be performed. If the visual
inspection reveals no perforations, test the waterproofing sheet for watertightness according to
EN 1928, Method B with a pressure of 100 kPa for 24 h.
4.5 Expression of results
4.5.1 Visual inspection test
For Method 1: Report any perforation after the operations of 4.4.1. In case of no perforations, express
the resistance to compaction of an asphalt layer as “resistant”.
For Method 2: Report any perforation after the operations of 4.4.2. In case of perforations, express the
resistance to compaction of an asphalt layer as “not resistant”.
4.5.2 Watertightness test
For Method 1: In case of perforations detected according to 4.4.1, express the resistance to compaction
of an asphalt layer as “resistant” if no leak is detected when tested according to Annex A.
For Method 2: Express the resistance to compaction as “resistant” if the waterproofing sheet does not
leak when tested according to the method given in 4.4.2.
4.5.3 Precision of the test method
No precision data are currently available.
4.6 Test report
The test report shall include at least the following information:
a) all details necessary to identify the product tested and identification of the whole waterproofing
system including asphalt layer and application temperature, type and quantity of the primer;
b) a reference to this document and any deviation from it;
c) information on preparation of test specimens in accordance with 4.3 and EN 13375, and prepared
by and witnessed by which organization;
d) the dates of delivery of sample and preparation of test specimens;
e) information about the chosen procedure in accordance with 4.1 (Method 1 or Method 2);
f) the test result and failure mode for each individual test as indicated in 4.5;
g) the date of tests.

(normative)
Determination of watertightness for Method 1
A.1 General
A.1.1 Purpose of the test
The purpose of the test method is to determine the watertightness of test specimen according to
Method 1 (4.1).
A.1.2 Principle of the method
The test consists of subjecting a specimen of the waterproofing system in a closed cell to a specified
water pressure and observing the absence of water transmission through the system.
A.2 Equipment
A.2.1 Apparatus, suitable for applying pressures up to 1 MPa in measuring cells in which the test
specimens to be tested are placed (see an example of apparatus in Figure A.1).
A.3 Test specimens

Obtain test specimens with a diameter of 150 mm and a maximum thickness of 70 mm by coring.
After coring, heat the test specimens under a controlled temperature (4.4.1), and separate the complex
at the waterproofing/concrete interface.
A.4 Test procedure

A.4.1 Installation of test specimens
Place the lower shells of the measuring cells and tins of hard bitumen (20/30 pen) in an oven at 140 °C
for at least 2 h.
Remove the lower shells from the oven and place the test specimens in them. Pour the hot bitumen into
the gap between the test specimen and the side of the test cell in order to ensure a perfect seal.
After cooling, fit the cells with the top shell and connect to the apparatus (see Figure A.1).

6 Test specimen (∅ 150 mm)
A.4.2 Testing
Perform the test at room temperature with the following steps:

— 24 h in contact with water at each of the following pressures;
a) room pressure;
b) (0,1 ± 0,01) MPa;
c) (0,5 ± 0,01) MPa;
d) (0,7 ± 0,01) MPa.
— 3 h at (1,0 ± 0,01) MPa.

Check after each pressure increment that there is no water beneath the measuring cell.
A.5 Expression of results

Keep a record of the pressure at which any water is observed to pass through the specimen, or of the
fact that no water passed through during the test.
