BS EN 15818 is a European Standard on polymer-modified bituminous thick coatings for waterproofing. The main aim of the BS EN 15818 series is to provide the best industry guidance to ensure construction materials contribute to the structural integrity of your civil engineering works.
BS EN 15818 specifies a procedure for determining the dimensional stability at a high temperature of polymer modified bituminous thick coatings for waterproofing.
Who is BS EN 15818 - Dimensional stability of polymer modified bituminous thick coatings for?
BS EN 15818 on polymer modified bituminous thick coatings is useful for:
- Construction industry
- Builders and contractors
- Civil engineers
- Companies providing waterproofing solutions
- Manufacturers and suppliers of polymer modified bituminous thick coatings
- Manufacturers of construction materials
- Waterproofing material manufacturers and suppliers
Why should you use BS EN 15818 - Dimensional stability of polymer modified bituminous thick coatings?
Bitumen is one of the earliest and most popular forms of waterproofing as it moves with the structure and does not allow water to come inside the structure. Dimensional stability is a measurement of the linear dimensional change caused by temperature exposure and is one of their most essential properties, as it can have a significant impact on the performance of joints and details on roof upstands.
In this regard, BS EN 15818 provides the requirements of apparatus, test sampling, test method and procedure to determine dimensional stability of polymer-modified bituminous thick coatings for waterproofing.
Thus, if you are a manufacturer of bituminous products, complying with BS EN 15818 can help demonstrate the performance and credibility of your materials, ensuring that they are fit for purpose.
As a result, dimensional stability tests are required in order to evaluate the bituminous material’s influence on the overall performance of the waterproofing layer.
