What is BS EN 13967 - Plastic and rubber damp waterproofing sheets about?
BS EN 13967 is a European standard on flexible sheets for waterproofing that discusses plastic and rubber damp proof sheets.
BS EN 13967 specifies definitions and characteristics of flexible plastic and rubber sheets which are intended to be used as damp proofing for buildings, including basement tanking.
BS EN 13967 specifies the requirements and test methods and provides for the evaluation of conformity of the products with the requirements.
Who is BS EN 13967 - Plastic and rubber damp waterproofing sheets for?
BS EN 13967 on sheets for waterproofing is useful for:
- Builders
- Manufacturers of damp-proof materials
- Manufacturers of rubber and plastics sheet
- Binders and sealing materials manufacturers
Why should you use BS EN 13967 - Plastic and rubber damp waterproofing sheets?
A sheet for damp proofing is a plastic or rubber sheet used on or under floors or ground slabs or in walls to prevent liquid water under hydrostatic pressure from passing from the ground into the internal environment.
BS EN 13967 covers the types of damp-proof sheets which are designated as follows:
- TYPE A damp proof sheet
- TYPE V damp proof ventilating or draining sheet
- TYPE T tanking sheet.
BS EN 13967 navigates you through the product characteristics determining the dimensions and tolerances as well as physical and mechanical properties of plastic and rubber damp proof sheets.
BS EN 13967 provides AVCP with the compliance of plastic and rubber damp proof sheets including plastic and rubber basement tanking sheets with the requirements of type testing and factory production control.
Product data sheet and designation of waterproofing sheets are described in BS EN 13967 along with the marking, labelling and packaging related to dangerous substances and, or health and safety.
Moreover, BS EN 13967 assist you in designing and manufacturing plastic and rubber damp proof sheets to prevent water from entering internal and external building structures ensuring excellent durability, flexibility, ultraviolet rays protection, and protection from any other kind of natural calamities.
As a result, you get durable and reliable plastic and rubber damp proof sheets since the membrane is resistant and strong enough to bridge and accept building panel movement without ripping.
