(45 ± 5) mm.
4.2.6 Frame, internal dimensions (350 ± 10) mm × (350 ± 10) mm, height of frame (40 ± 2) mm.
4.2.7 Equipment for measuring the temperature, with an accuracy of 1 °C.
4.2.8 Layer of dry sand, with a depth of 80 mm to 100 mm natural sand.
4.2.9 Spirit level.
4.2.10 Saw.
4.2.11 Float for mastic asphalt.
4.2.12 Screw clamps.
4.2.13 Transparent foil.
4.3 Preparation of test specimens

Take samples and test specimens in accordance with EN 13416, the dimensions of the test
specimens are (400 ± 10) mm × (400 ± 10) mm. Ensure that the test specimens are without any
mechanical damage.
The thickness of the sheet, determined in accordance with EN 1849-1, shall be known (reference
thickness).
Two concrete slabs are required.
4.4 Procedure
4.4.1 Condition the sand layer, the concrete slab and the test specimen for at least 24 h at (23 ±
2) °C.
2
4.4.2 Place the test specimen onto the concrete slab. Position the frame on top of the test specimen and
concrete slab, and fix it with screw clamps.
Figure 1 — Illustration of pouring
3
4.4.3 Lay the concrete slab with test specimen on the sand layer, and level it by means of the
spirit level.
4.4.4 Pour the mastic asphalt and distribute it softly using the float to fill the frame.
4.4.5 Ensure that the temperature of the mastic asphalt on leaving the boiler is
(250 ± 3220 ± 3) °C before pouring, and also that the pouring height of the mastic asphalt from the
upper surface of the test specimen is between 100 mm and 150 mm. Complete the pouring of the
mastic asphalt within two minutes, and leave to cool for at least eight hours after pouring. After
cooling, remove the frame.
4.5 Measurements
4.5.1 Determination of surface proportion of any sheet compound specks on the
surface of the mastic asphalt
4.5.1.1 Determine the mass of the square partial surface of the transparent foil with an area of
(50 ± 1) mm × (50 ± 1) mm, m1.
4.5.1.2 Visually determine a square partial surface of (50 ± 1) mm × (50 ± 1) mm of the mastic
asphalt surface, on which the total area taken up by the sheet compound specks holds the biggest
share. In case of doubt, the use of UV-C illumination is recommended.
4.5.1.3 Mark the sheet compound specks of this partial surface on transparent foil and cut out
the specks.
4.5.1.4 Determine the mass of the cut-out segments of the foil, m2.
4.5.2 Determination of the thickness of the sheet after pouring the mastic asphalt
4.5.2.1 Saw the test specimen (made up of the concrete slab, sheet and mastic asphalt) parallel
to the lateral face into three equal parts. Use the middle part as a test specimen for further testing.
4.5.2.2 Make fine pencil marks at each 25 mm on both cut surfaces of the test specimen. The
first mark shall be made 10 mm from the edge of the mastic asphalt. Apply the marks vertically to
the upper concrete surface on both sides of the sheet.
4.5.2.3 Determine the thickness of the sheet at each pencil mark to an accuracy of 0,1 mm in the
stereo optical measuring instrument. In cases of doubt, determine the borderline between the
sheet, the mastic asphalt and the concrete slab respectively with a pointed object. Any mineral
particles distributed from the sheet surface protection shall be considered as part of the sheet.
4.5.2.4 Substitute any determined individual value that is bigger than the reference thickness of
the sheet by the reference thickness.
4.5.2.5 Calculate the arithmetic mean of the thickness of each test specimen to an accuracy of
0,1 mm.
4.5.3 Determination of sheet compound inclusions in the mastic asphalt
4.5.3.1 VisuallyAfter a waiting period of at least 48 h, visually determine at both cutting edges of
the test specimen any inclusions of sheet compounds, either bonded or not bonded to the sheet. In
case of doubt, the use of UV-C illumination is recommended.
4
4.5.3.2 Such inclusions of a size ≥ 7 mm (distance between the extreme points of the inclusions) that are
not bonded to the sheet shall be marked and counted accordingly.
4.5.3.3 Sheet compound inclusions of a maximum height ≥ 12 mm from the underside of the sheet that
are bonded to the sheet, shall be marked and counted accordingly.
4.5.3.4 The total number of both types of inclusions on each test specimen is calculated.

The thickness of the sheet, determined in accordance with EN 1849‑1, shall be known
(reference thickness).
Two concrete slabs are required.
4.4 Procedure
4.4.1 Condition the sand layer, the concrete slab and the test specimen for at least 24 h at (23 ± 2) °C.

4.4.3 Lay the concrete slab with test specimen on the sand layer, and level it by means of the spirit level.
4.4.4 Pour the mastic asphalt and distribute it softly using the float to fill the frame.
4.4.5 Ensure that the temperature of the mastic asphalt on leaving the boiler is (220 ± 3) °C before
pouring, and also that the pouring height of the mastic asphalt from the upper surface of the test specimen
is between 100 mm and 150 mm. Complete the pouring of the mastic asphalt within two minutes, and
leave to cool for at least eight hours after pouring. After cooling, remove the frame.
4.5 Measurements
4.5.1 Determination of surface proportion of any sheet compound specks on the surface of the
mastic asphalt
4.5.1.1 Determine the mass of the square partial surface of the transparent foil with an area of
(50 ± 1) mm × (50 ± 1) mm, m1.
4.5.1.2 Visually determine a square partial surface of (50 ± 1) mm × (50 ± 1) mm of the mastic asphalt
surface, on which the total area taken up by the sheet compound specks holds the biggest share. In case
of doubt, the use of UV illumination is recommended.

BS EN 14693:2017
EN 14693:2017 (E)
4.5.1.3 Mark the sheet compound specks of this partial surface on transparent foil and cut
out the specks.
4.5.1.4 Determine the mass of the cut-out segments of the foil, m2.
4.5.2 Determination of the thickness of the sheet after pouring the mastic asphalt
4.5.2.1 Saw the test specimen (made up of the concrete slab, sheet and mastic asphalt) parallel to the
lateral face into three equal parts. Use the middle part as a test specimen for further testing.
4.5.2.2 Make fine pencil marks at each 25 mm on both cut surfaces of the test specimen. The first
mark shall be made 10 mm from the edge of the mastic asphalt. Apply the marks vertically to the upper
concrete surface on both sides of the sheet.
4.5.2.3 Determine the thickness of the sheet at each pencil mark to an accuracy of 0,1 mm in the stereo
optical measuring instrument. In cases of doubt, determine the borderline between the sheet, the mastic
asphalt and the concrete slab respectively with a pointed object. Any mineral particles distributed from
the sheet surface protection shall be considered as part of the sheet.
4.5.2.4 Substitute any determined individual value that is bigger than the reference thickness of the
sheet by the reference thickness.
4.5.2.5 Calculate the arithmetic mean of the thickness of each test specimen to an accuracy of 0,1 mm.
4.5.3 Determination of sheet compound inclusions in the mastic asphalt
4.5.3.1 After a waiting period of at least 48 h, visually determine at both cutting edges of the test
specimen any inclusions of sheet compounds, either bonded or not bonded to the sheet.
4.5.3.2 Such inclusions of a size ≥ 7 mm (distance between the extreme points of the inclusions) that
are not bonded to the sheet shall be marked and counted accordingly.
4.5.3.3 Sheet compound inclusions of a maximum height ≥ 12 mm from the underside of the sheet that
are bonded to the sheet, shall be marked and counted accordingly.
4.5.3.4 The total number of both types of inclusions on each test specimen is calculated.

4.6 Evaluation and expression of results
4.6.1 Sheet compound specks on the surface of the mastic asphalt
Calculate for each test specimen the relative surface proportion of the specks on the surface, stating it
as a percentage of the partial surface.
(1)
where
s is the relative surface proportion of the sheet compound specks [%];
m1 is the mass of transparent foil 50 mm × 50 mm in grams [g];
m2 is the mass of the cut-out transparent foil, in grams [g].
The result is the arithmetic mean of the two measurements, rounded to 5 %.
4.6.2 Changes in thickness of the sheet after pouring of the mastic asphalt
Calculate the changes in thickness and round to an accuracy of 0,1 mm.

where
Δt are the changes in thickness [mm];
t0 is the reference thickness of the sheet, determined in accordance with EN 1849‑1 [mm];
t1 is the arithmetic mean of the thickness of the sheet in test specimen 1, in millimetres [mm];
t2 is the arithmetic mean of the sheet in test specimen 2, in millimetres [mm].
4.6.3 Sheet compound inclusions in the mastic asphalt
The arithmetic mean of the number of inclusions in the two test specimens shall be calculated and
rounded to the nearest whole number.
(3)
where
i is the arithmetic mean of the number of inclusions [-];
i1 is the number of inclusions on test specimen 1 [-];
i2 is the number of inclusions on test specimen 2 [-]
4.7 Precision of the test method

No precision data are currently available.
