What is BS EN 15815 - Polymer modified bituminous thick coatings’ resistance to compression about?
BS EN 15815 is a European Standard on polymer-modified bituminous thick coatings for waterproofing. The main aim of the BS EN 15815 series is to provide the best industry guidance to ensure construction materials contribute to the structural integrity of your civil engineering works.
BS EN 15815 specifies a procedure for determining the resistance to compression of polymer
modified bituminous thick coatings for waterproofing.
Who is BS EN 15815 - Polymer modified bituminous thick coatings’ resistance to compression for?
BS EN 15815 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 15815 - Polymer modified bituminous thick coatings’ resistance to compression?
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. Resistance to compression is a necessary parameter to determine the suitability of bituminous products for use under given loading conditions and environment as a highway paving material.
In this regard, BS EN 15815 provides the requirements of apparatus, test sampling, test method and procedure on polymer-modified bituminous thick coatings for waterproofing.
Thus, if you are a manufacturer of bituminous products, complying with BS EN 15815 can help demonstrate the performance and quality of your product, ensuring that they exhibit adequate waterproofing properties and are fit for intended use.
