Foreword

This European Standard has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 254 "Flexible sheets for
waterproofing ", the secretariat of which is held by BSI.

This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text
or by endorsement, at the latest by March 2001, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the
latest by March 2001.

According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
Licensed Copy: :FULLNAME, : DATE, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI

countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland,
France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

Introduction

This European Standard is intended for characterisation of plastic and rubber sheets as manufactured or
supplied before use. This test method relates to products, or to their components where appropriate, and
not to waterproofing membrane systems composed of such products and installed in the works.

This test is intended to be used in conjunction with European Standard "Definitions and Characteristics" for
plastic and rubber sheets for roof waterproofing.

1 Scope

This European Standard specifies a method for determining the resistance to peeling of joints between two
adjacent sheets of the same plastic or rubber sheets for roof waterproofing.

This test method will be used mainly for testing the joints in mechanically fastened plastic or rubber sheets
for roof waterproofing.

NOTE The peeling characteristics of a joint between two widths of plastic or rubber sheets vary
considerably depending on the material, method of jointing, the size of the overlap and the workmanship.

2 Normative references

This European Standard incorporates, by dated or undated references, provisions from other publications.
These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed
hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply
to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references,
the latest editions of the publication referred to apply.

EN ISO 7500-1 Metallic materials – Verification of static uniaxial testing machines - Part 1: Tension/
compression testing machines (ISO 7500-1:1999)

prEN 13416:2000 Flexible sheets for waterproofing – Bitumen, plastic and rubber sheets for roof
waterproofing – Rules for sampling

3 Definitions

For the purpose of this standard, the following definition applies:

3.1 Peel resistance: The tensile force required to completely separate a prepared joint test specimen by
peeling.
 Page 4
EN 12316 -2:2000

4 Principle

The principle of the test is to pull a test specimen to peel a joint at a constant speed until it breaks. The
tensile force is continuously recorded throughout the test.

5 Apparatus

Tensile testing machine equipped with a continuous recording of force and corresponding extension and
Licensed Copy: :FULLNAME, : DATE, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI

capable of maintaining uniform speed of grip separation as specified below.

Tensile testing machine shall have a sufficient loading capacity and a grip separation speed of (100
10)
mm/min. The width of grips shall not be less than 50 mm.

The tensile testing machine shall be equipped with grips of a type which maintain or increase the clamping
pressure as a function of the increase of the force applied to the test specimen. The test specimen shall be
held so that it does not slip in the grips more than 2 mm.

The method of gripping shall not induce premature rupture close to the grips.

The force measuring system shall meet at least Class 2 of EN ISO 7500-1 (i.e.
2%).

6 Sampling

Samples shall be taken in accordance with prEN 13416:2000.

7 Preparation of test pieces and test specimens

Test pieces to be used for jointing should be previously conditioned for at least 20 h at (23
2)C and at a
relative humidity between 30 % and 70 %.

Test pieces of the sheet are joined by the method(s) to be used for installation. After jointing, the test piece
shall be conditioned for a minimum of 2 h at (23
2)C and at (50
5) % RH before testing unless the
manufacturer recommends differently.

From each of these joint test pieces, five rectangular test specimens (50
1) mm wide shall be cut,
perpendicular to the joint. They shall have such a length, that the ends of the specimen fill the grips and that
the complete overlap can be tested perpendicular to joint (see Figure 1 and Figure 2).

Rectangular joint test specimens shall be prepared representing all possibilities of jointing according to the
way(s) to be used for installation.

The number of specimens tested is five per set.

8 Procedure

The test specimen shall be firmly held in the grips of the tensile testing machine, taking care that the
longitudinal axis of the test specimen, the axis of the tensile testing machine and the grips are correctly
aligned.

The clear distance between the grips shall be (100
5) mm (see Figure 2). No preload will be applied.

The test is carried out on a test specimen at a temperature of (23
2)C and at a constant separating speed
for the grips of (100
10) mm/min.

The applied force and extension shall be recorded continuously until the test specimen separates.

The mode of failure of the joint shall be recorded.

9 Expression of results

9.1 Jointing information

State all relevant information on the formation and the conditioning of the joint.

9.2 Evaluation

A force extension graph shall be drawn up.

Licensed Copy: :FULLNAME, : DATE, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI

Disregard any test result where the test specimen breaks less than 10 mm from the grips or slips by more
than the permitted limit within the grips of the tensile testing machine, and retest with a replacement
specimen.

The mode of failure shall be reported.

9.2.1 Maximum peel resistance

From the graph read the maximum force and record as the maximum peel resistance of the test specimen
in N/50 mm (relevant if the test specimen ruptures and no peel occurs and there is only one peak).

9.2.2 Average peel resistance (Relevant only if peel occurs)

The first and last quarter of the graph shall not be included when calculating the average peel resistance of
the test specimen. An average value is calculated on the remaining section by considering 10 equidistant
values and expressed as N/50 mm (see Figure 3).

a Points to be evaluated

x Extension axis

Figure 3 - Graph for calculating the peel resistance (example)

NOTE The purpose of the evaluation method specified here is to calculate an average peel resistance
value which corresponds to the mean value of the forces acting on the test specimen at certain specified
times during testing. This method also permits an evaluation to be carried out if the graphs do not feature
 Page 7
EN 12316-2:2000

any distinctive peaks. This can occur when testing some bonded materials. It should be noted that the
results could vary, depending on the direction in which the test specimens are taken.

9.3 Calculations

From the results for each set of five test specimens calculate peel resistance as the mean (using the
maximum or average peel force as occurs for each specimen) expressed in N/50 mm. State the peel
resistance to the nearest Newton with the corresponding standard deviation.

9.4 Precision of the test method

No information is available at this time.

10 Test report

The test report shall include the following information:

a) a reference to this European Standard (EN 12316-2) and any deviation from it;
b) all details necessary to identify the product tested;
