4 Concepts and selection criteria
4.1 Surface protection types and systems
4.1.1 General
Surface protection is usually applied as a lining as in 4.1.2 and Clause 5, as a coating as in EN 14879-3 or as
a composite coating or lining system as in prEN 14879-6. The last of these combines a chemically resistant
sealing coat with a wearing layer.
4.1.2 Protective linings
Linings based on organic binders, such as
a) Bonded linings
Bonded linings comprise pre-fabricated sheets that are fixed to the substrate by means of an adhesive applied
over the entire surface area. The sheets are then jointed using an adhesive or by welding.
b) Mechanically fixed linings
Linings made of thermoplastic units (e.g. sheets, slabs or pre-formed pieces) that are fixed to the concrete
substrate by means of fasteners systematically arranged on the units' underside. The lining units are then
jointed by welding.
These linings may be applied either during the construction of the concrete member or after construction has
been completed, in which case the lining is attached to a layer of facing concrete.
c) Loose linings of sheeting material
Pre-fabricated linings that are laid loosely on the substrate, jointed and then fixed to the walls by means of
metal beads, for example.
The sheets are usually surfaced with gravel or screed, or protected against exposure to sunlight, warping and
mechanical damage by means of a masonry facing.
d) Loose linings of pre-formed pieces or linings units
Linings made of pre-formed pieces laid in the concrete member and then fixed or welded at the top edge, if
necessary.

EN 14879-5:2007 (E)
4.2 Selection criteria
4.2.1 General
The stress to be encountered by a protective lining shall be known before the requirements for it can be
specified. For the scope or this standard, the stress types detailed in 4.2.2 to 4.2.8 are the most relevant.
Where necessary, grades have been used to describe different levels of stress.
4.2.2 Aggressive substances
Aggressive substances or water pollutants may occur as solids or fluids. Their aggressive action on concrete
usually occurs when they are in a liquid state (e.g. aqueous solutions or condensates). The substances may
occur in their pure state or as mixtures and may attack the concrete at varying intervals.
These substances shall be designated using the Geneva nomenclature, IUPAC 1) nomenclature or CAS 2)
number. They may also be designated by trivial names which have become established in the literature.
Concentrations and any changes to these shall be given as a percentage by mass or volume, or as g/l, g/kg,
mol/l etc. The pH value shall also be given for aqueous solutions.
All constituents, including traces and impurities, shall be named, even if they do not attack concrete.
Successive exposure shall be represented accordingly.

NOTE The grades 0 to 2 and 4 are normally not applicable for linings according to this standard.
10
EN 14879-5:2007 (E)
4.2.3 Type and frequency of fluid loading
The requirements for the protective or sealing function of a surface protection system are linked to the type
and frequency of the fluid loads to which it will be exposed. Exposure shall be graded as follows.
Grade 0: no exposure to fluids.
Grade 1: sporadic exposure to droplets of fluid (e.g. laboratory floors, floors in small units, walls).
Grade 2: frequent, short-term exposure to splashes of fluid, where the surfaces are regularly flushed (e.g.
floors of closed production plants).
Grade 3: exceptional and limited exposure to fluids during operations (e.g. due to plant failure) in, for
example, collecting basins.
Grade 4: constant or frequent exposure to a film of fluid, due to wetness, condensation, puddles, trickles
and the like (e.g. floors in production plants, electroplating plants or pumping stations).
Grade 5: operational exposure to a constant flow of fluid involving no significant hydrostatic pressure (e.g.
open gutters, trenches and their pump sumps, closed trenches and pipes).
Grade 6: constant exposure of containers to fluid contents for unlimited periods (e.g. vessels, pits).
4.2.4 Thermal loading
Temperature influences the effectiveness of a surface protection system in the following ways.
a) Aggressiveness of medium
Elevated temperatures increase the aggressiveness of the medium by raising the levels of its chemical
reactions and diffusion, and also through the accumulation of volatile substances in the headspace.
b) Thermal stress
Temperatures which deviate from the installation temperature cause thermal stress between the substrate and
the surface protection system and may cause peeling, cracks, etc. This may result from the direct action of hot
or cold media, or from radiant heat and extreme ambient temperature.
The maximum thermal load shall be stated in °C.
4.2.5 Changes in temperature
Changes in temperature include
a) temperature changes at the protective surface during exposure to fluid loads of grades 3 to 5 as in 4.2.3
involving changed medium temperatures;
b) temperature changes as otherwise constantly heated or cooled surfaces, resulting from operational
contingencies, such as start-up and shutdown;
c) temperature changes, possibly involving thermal shock, which occur during cleaning operations;
d) process-related changes in the temperature of the medium under loading conditions corresponding to
grade 6 (as in 4.2.3).
Temperature changes due to climatic influences are dealt with in 4.2.7.
11
EN 14879-5:2007 (E)
The source, degree, speed and frequency of temperature changes shall be taken into consideration when
assessing their effect.
The following grades serve in assessing the effects of temperature changes, whereby details of the frequency
and the duration of temperature changes are to be given for grades 1 to 4.
Grade 0: no temperature changes;
Grade 1: infrequent temperature changes of not more than 50 K;
Grade 2: infrequent temperature changes of more than 50 K;
Grade 3: frequent temperature changes of not more than 50 K;
Grade 4: frequent temperature changes of more than 50 K;
Grade 5: temperature changes involving thermal shock (assessment not possible with this standard).
4.2.6 Mechanical loading
The effectiveness of a surface protection system may be impaired through exposure to mechanical loads or
hydrostatic pressure during operation or assembly. The following grades shall be used to assess such loads.
Grade 0: no loads, or hydrostatic pressure up to 0,05 bar;

2
Grade 1: loads up to 0,2 N/mm (e.g. pedestrian traffic, light transport, static loading);
2
Grade 2: loads up to 1 N/mm (e.g. vehicles with pneumatic tires, static loading);
2
Grade 3: loads over 1 N/mm , for example
2 2
a) loads of 1 N/mm to 7 N/mm (e.g. vehicles with Vulkollan wheels, static loading) and
2
b) loads over 7 N/mm (e.g. vehicles with polyamide wheels, static loading);
Grade 4: impact loads, such as those resulting from setting down sharp-edged objects (e.g. barrels), and
from scraping (e.g. shovel loaders);
Grade 5: hydrostatic pressure from 0,05 bar to 0,5 bar;
Grade 6: hydrostatic pressure greater than 0,5 bar.
NOTE The grades 2 to 4 are normally not applicable for linings without additional protection according to this
standard.
4.2.7 Climate Influences
Climatic influences may affect the durability of a surface protection system, and shall be graded as follows.
Grade 0: no climatic influences: the component is located inside a building and is not exposed to climatic
influences.
Grade 1: limited climatic influences: a roof protects the component, which is exposed to limited climatic
influences.
Grade 2: full climatic influences: the component is located outside, and is fully exposed to climatic
influences.
12
EN 14879-5:2007 (E)
4.2.8 Additional requirements
Additional requirements may derive from special applications, and are not fully covered by this standard. They
may refer to water protection, explosion protection, fire behaviour, decontamination, health and safety
(particularly in the case of foodstuffs and drinking water), non-slip surfaces and smoothness.

6.3.2 Pre-formed pieces
Pre-formed pieces shall be of the materials specified in 6.2 and shall meet the requirements of Table 7.
7 Application
7.1 Bonded linings
7.1.1 Rubber linings
7.1.1.1 Substrate preparation
The concrete surface shall be prepared in accordance with EN 14879-1. Pores, cavities and any uneven
patches shall be filled or smoothed over using a polymer modified cement or a solvent-free epoxy resin mortar.
If spark testing will be carried out to check the lining's continuity, the concrete surface shall be fully covered
with a conductive resin. Where a non-conductive material is used to level the surface, an electrically
conductive primer shall be applied so that the spark testing can be performed.
7.1.1.2 Ambient conditions
The substrate temperature shall be at least + 5 °C and at least 3 °C above the dew point. Throughout the
lining process, suitable measures shall be taken to ensure that the substrate temperature never falls below
these values.
7.1.1.3 Lining process
Normally, a primer is to be applied to the substrate to improve adhesion. The primer shall be fully dried before
the adhesive is applied.
To ensure adhesion over the entire surface, the adhesive should be applied to the substrate and the
underside of the rubber sheet simultaneously.
After the required drying time (which will vary depending on the adhesive used), apply the rubber sheet to the
substrate using a special roller or other appropriate tool, ensuring that adhesion occurs over the entire area.
7.1.1.4 Jointing
Jointing shall be carried out according to the manufacturer's instructions, taking the requirements of
EN 14879-4 into account.
7.1.2 Lining with thermoplastics
7.1.2.1 Substrate preparation
The concrete surface shall be prepared in accordance with EN 14879-1. Pores, cavities and any uneven
patches shall be filled or smoothed over using a polymer modified cement or a solvent-free epoxy resin mortar.
Once the substrate is fully covered with filler, it is normally made electrically conductive so that, later, the lining
can be spark tested for continuity. Where a non-conductive material is used to level the surface, an electrically
conductive primer shall be applied so that the spark testing can be performed.
17
EN 14879-5:2007 (E)
7.1.2.2 Ambient conditions
See 7.1.1.2.
7.1.2.3 Lining process
Normally, a suitable primer is to be applied to the substrate to improve adhesion. The primer shall be fully
dried before the adhesive is applied.
To ensure adhesion over the entire surface, a solvent-based contact adhesive shall be applied to the
substrate and the underside of the thermoplastics sheet simultaneously. The adhesive selected shall be
suitable for the thermoplastic material used.
After the required drying time (which will vary depending on the adhesive used), apply the thermoplastic sheet
to the substrate using a special roller or other appropriate tool, ensuring that adhesion occurs over the entire
area.
A hot-melt bitumen adhesive may be used where thermoplastics that are compatible with bitumen are laid on
floor surfaces.
Under certain circumstances, some types of thermoplastic sheeting may be laid on a special emulsion
adhesive.
7.1.2.4 Jointing
Depending on the type of sheeting used for the lining, the following welding methods may be used for jointing
(the manufacturer's instructions shall be observed):
 Hot gas welding (as in DVS 2225-1);
 Heated wedge welding (as in DVS 2225-1);
 Diffusion bonding (a solvent welding procedure; as in DVS 2225-1).
The first two methods listed shall be performed by persons qualified in accordance with EN 13067 and carried
out according to national guidelines, e. g. DVS 2225-1.
7.2 Mechanically fixed linings
7.2.1 Substrate preparation
It may be necessary to bridge cracks in the substrate that are wider than those described in EN 14879-1. In
this case, any permanent deformation shall be no more than 3 % of the spacing of the anchor elements to
prevent stress cracking of the lining. If, within the area concerned, there are any weld seams, the maximal
permissible deformation reduces to 2 % of the spacing of the anchors from which the width of the weld seam
has to be deducted.
For mechanically fixed linings moisture affecting from the rear side is admissible. However, if the lining is
subjected to hydrostatic pressure on its rear side, e.g. in the event of ground water diffusing through the
concrete, evidence of long-term anchoring strength and resistance to bulging between the anchors is to be
recorded by performing a test according to 10.2.6.2.2, taking the operating conditions into account.
18
EN 14879-5:2007 (E)
7.2.2 Ambient conditions
Lining units (panels, pre-formed pieces) of PVC, PP and PVDF shall not be applied at an ambient temperature
lower than + 5 °C.
7.2.3 Lining process
7.2.3.1 Walls and ceilings
The lining may either be applied as permanent formwork during the construction of the concrete element or
after construction has been completed, in which case facing concrete or mortar shall be used. Care shall be
taken that the lining fits tightly. The concrete aggregate has to be chosen under consideration of the geometry
and arrangement of the fasteners. Where not otherwise specified by the manufacturer of the lining material,
the maximum particle size may be equal to half the shortest clearance between fasteners.
Lining units shall be clamped firmly to the formwork.
The number of penetrations (e.g. for spacers) shall be kept to a minimum and the use of nails, bolts, etc. is to
be avoided.
Temperature-induced movements (expansion and compression) shall be accommodated by using suitable

profiles so that the lining lies flat and stress-free on the formwork.
7.2.3.2 Floors
The lining shall either be applied to a cementitious screed at least 50 mm thick and at least of class CT 30 or
higher in compliance with EN 13813, or grout shall be poured underneath.
If the lining will be subjected to hydrostatic pressure, it shall be applied directly to the substrate while the
concrete is still fresh. If the lining is applied after construction of the concrete member a permanent bond
between the concrete substrate and the screed shall be ensured.
7.2.4 Welding
One of the following welding procedures may be used, depending on the form of the joints to be welded:
 Hot gas welding (as in DVS 2207-3);
 Heated tool welding (as in DVS 2207-1);
 Extrusion welding (as in DVS 2207-4).
Welds that will be subjected to a continuity test by spark testing shall be backed by an electrically conductive
material.
Welding imperfections are to be avoided.
In addition, national guidelines (e. g. DVS 2203 series) apply to the testing of welded joints in thermoplastic
materials.
Welding shall not be carried out until the concrete is sufficiently dry; otherwise, the hot gases used for welding
may produce steam in joints.
During the welding procedure, suitable measures shall be taken against any negative effects of the
environment (e.g. temperature fluctuations caused by the wind or sun, presence of dust or rain). The ambient
temperature and substrate temperature may fall below + 10 °C only where special measures have been taken.
19
EN 14879-5:2007 (E)
Under no circumstances shall condensation be allowed in the welding area.
Welding shall be carried out by qualified welders approved in accordance with national guidelines, e. g.
DVS 2212-1 or DVS 2212-2.
7.3 Loose linings
7.3.1 Special requirements regarding operating conditions
To minimise stresses in the lining, the following operating conditions shall be taken into consideration:
 fluctuations in the operating temperature;
 hydraulic loads (e.g. changes in the filling level);
 abrasion caused by the charge (e.g. in mixing vessels);
 other mechanical loads (e.g. vehicle loads).
7.3.2 Substrate preparation
If the lining will be subjected to hydrostatic pressure on the reverse side, it shall be proven that no risk of
uplifting or buckling exists.
It may be necessary to bridge cracks in the substrate that are wider than those described in EN 14879-1. The
linings specified in this standard are capable of bridging cracks up to 1,5 mm in width.
To prevent damage to the lining, the substrate should be smooth and free of burrs or offsets. It may be
necessary to apply a screed or protective mat to the substrate. The back of the lining may be exposed to
moisture.
See 7.2.2.
7.3.4 Lining process
7.3.4.1 Sheet linings
Sheets shall be laid on the concrete surface, jointed, tested and, if necessary, provided with an additional
layer (e.g. a screed) as protection against mechanical damage and sunlight.
7.3.4.2 Pre-formed pieces
Where pre-formed pieces are applied to the concrete member, care shall be taken that the walls of the pieces
are skin tight to the concrete surface so that the hydrostatic pressure of the charge does not cause excessive
stressing of the lining material.
7.3.5 Jointing
Depending on the type of material used, jointing shall be carried out in 7.1.2.4 or 7.2.4 (for thermoplastics).

10.2.3 Fluid load, resistance and tightness
10.2.3.1 General
The test shall be conducted according to the prescribed grade with the test method specified in Table 12. It
takes place at + (23 ± 2) °C after at least 16 h pre-conditioning of the test samples in normal climate 23/50-2
according to ISO 554.
For load grades 5 and 6, the test shall be made at the temperatures of the operating medium.
The chemical resistance of the lining against the thermal load caused by the media according to 10.2.4.1 is
proven with this test.
Testing of the fluid load of a higher load grade includes proof of resistance of the lining at a lower load grade,
see Table 10.

10.2.3.2 Test fluids
The media test is to be conducted with the fluid against which the lining shall be tight and resistant.
If fluids can be classified in fluid groups with the specified concentration limits for proof of suitability for
material/media combinations according to Annex E (normative), the test with the test fluid specified there
suffices. The media lists for rubber linings listed in Annex F (normative) can be used for completely bonded
soft rubber linings in the fluid load test at load grades 3, 5 and 6.
10.2.3.3 Evaluation of the test results
After performing the liquid exposure test with one of the test methods described below, changes in the
material parameters as well as changes in mass and hardness and possibly changes in the adhesion strength
are to be assessed.
The material parameters are defined by:
a) tension tests according to ISO 37 or ISO 23529 on the standard rod S 2 for elastomer which is
manufactured after storage;
b) tension tests according to EN ISO 527-3 with specimen 5 at a test speed of 200 mm/min for other
materials;
c) hardness measurement Shore A for soft rubber linings according to EN ISO 868.
The permissible changes in material parameters can be taken from Table 11 and evaluated according to this
section.

The following may be taken into account in the assessment of changes in hardness of soft rubber linings (see
Figure 1):
 Change in hardness of 20 % of the initial value can be considered permissible.
 If the change in hardness is between 20 % and 50 % of the initial value, the rubber lining is ground down
to 75 % of the initial thickness to test its suitability. If the hardness measurement on the remaining rubber
lining is 70 % of the initial value, the change in hardness can be considered permissible. Otherwise the
change in hardness is not permissible.
 If the change in hardness is more than 50 % of the initial value, the change in hardness is not permissible.

measurements in Table 11 are repeated.
The values determined after immersion shall be compared with the material parameters determined on the
unloaded sheet. The deviations after loading in relation to the as-delivered state may not exceed the values
specified in Table 11.
Specimen according to 10.2.2.3 with a joint seam should be used.
10.2.3.4.3.2 Test run
A cylinder filled with test fluid shall be placed on the lined test panel. The test fluid shall act on the lining for
90 days.
The adhesion strength is determined according to ISO 813 on an unloaded and a loaded sample panel. The
peeling test should be conducted right across the jointing seam. The permissible minimum value after
31
EN 14879-5:2007 (E)
exposure to fluid is 1,5 N/mm for soft rubber linings. The drop in adhesion strength of PIB and PVCP linings
may not be more than 25 % of the reference sample.
Specimens according to 10.2.2.3 with jointing seam shall be used.

drop in adhesion strength may not be more than 25 % of the reference sample.
10.2.3.4.5.1 General
This test is to be considered as a basic test for soft rubber linings with which the suitability of a soft rubber
lining for the load grades 5 and 6 of exposure to liquid can be proven.
If this basic test provides positive results, the resistance of the soft rubber lining to other liquids can be proven
by a shorter test method in which only specimens in the form of circles are tested.
Samples bodies according to 10.2.2.3 with jointing seam are used for the basic test.
Four further specimens in the form of circles with a diameter of 36 mm shall be used to determine the
mechanical parameters.
10.2.3.4.5.3 Test run
A test in a test device, e.g. according to EN 977 shall be conducted over 90 days to assess the media effect in
the liquid and in the vapour phase.

In addition four circles shall be immersed in the test fluid in the test device until reaching weight constancy but
at least for 28 days.
The test panels are inspected visually after being exposed to the test fluid. No damage such as tears, air
bubbles etc. should be visible.
32
EN 14879-5:2007 (E)
The peeling resistance according to EN 14879-4 is measured on an unloaded and a loaded test panel to
determine the adhesion strength. To test the influencing of the jointing seam, the peeling test shall be made
right across the seam. The permissible minimum value after exposure to fluid is 1,5 N/mm.
The specimens are stored in the test fluid at 23 °C or the specified operating temperature until reaching weight
constancy but for at least 28 days.
The change in mass is determined on three specimens after 7, 14, 21 and 28 days.
Weight constancy is assumed when the change in mass between the last two measurements is < 0,5 %.
The change in hardness measured on the fourth specimen is to be assessed according to 10.2.3.3.
Sufficiently stable sheet sections according to 10.2.2.2 shall be used.
10.2.3.4.6.2 Test run
Two specimens are clamped into a test device, e.g. a test device according to EN 977. One specimen shall be
completely in the fluid phase, the other completely in the gas phase. They are exposed for at least 28 days up
to weight constancy of the specimens whereby the measuring of the time intervals takes place in the form of a
geometric series and the weight constancy is determined from graphical evaluation.
After exposure of the specimens to the media, the change in hardness shall be assessed according to

10.2.6.2.3 Test run
The counter nap welded to the lining shall be clamped into the tractor and loaded until failure. The extraction
force of the anchoring elements is determined at a test speed of 1 mm/min.
To obtain statements about the anchoring strength of the system, the system-related set-point of the
extraction force of the anchoring elements shall first be determined in a series of experiments at room
temperature.
In order to assess the behaviour of a mechanically anchored lining under the influence of higher temperatures,
the extraction force of the anchoring elements shall be determined on at least 15 specimens at operating
temperature.

and Table 6.
Following this hot storage, the sheet sections are conditioned in normal climate ISO 554-23/50-2 for 7 days.
Then the material parameters are determined from the tension test and compared with those of a reference
sample stored at room temperature. The changes shall not exceed 15 %.
10.2.8 Weathering behaviour
At least two sheet sections according to 10.2.2.2 or 10.2.2.3 are embedded in sand outdoors in a place freely
exposed to the elements so that only the surface is visible. The sheet sections shall be fixed so that they are
tilted around their longitudinal axis in Southerly direction.
The sheet sections are exposed to the environment for two years. Cleaning and other intervention in the
meantime is prohibited.
Following the two year storage and subsequent thorough cleaning (no solvents), the sheet sections are
conditioned for 14 days in a normal climate 23/50-2. After this conditioning, the change in hardness in soft
rubber linings is determined according to EN ISO 868. It may not exceed 30 %.
38
EN 14879-5:2007 (E)
For all other materials, the material parameters are determined from the tension test according to
EN ISO 527-3 or ISO 37 and compared with those of a reference sample stored in a normal climate. The
changes may not exceed 15 %.

The test method to be applied depends on the rigidity of the material. For linings of PE-HD, PP and PVDF one
of the following methods of the EN ISO 22088-4:
a) Part 1 — Ball or pin impression method
b) Part 2 — Creep and load rupture test
shall be chosen. For more flexible materials such as PE-copolymers, a test shall be made according to
ASTM-D 1693, condition B.
In the tests according to EN ISO 22088-4 the mechanical properties may not change by more than 15 %.
No tears may occur after 500 h in the test according to ASTM-D 1693.
10.2.11 Dissipation capability
The test is made on samples according to 10.2.2 in the greatest used thickness. The samples shall be
conditioned for at least 24 h in normal climate 23/50-2 prior to the measurement. Treatment with organic
solvents shall be ruled out before the measurement.
The dissipation resistance is tested according to Annex G (normative) with a measuring voltage of 100 V.
The insulation resistance (surface resistance) is measured according to IEC 60167 with 100 V voltage.

A–deviations
A-Deviation: National deviation due to regulations, the alteration of which is for the time being outside the
competence of the CEN/CENELEC member.
This European Standard does not fall under any Directive of the EC.
In the relevant CEN/CENELEC countries these A-deviations are valid instead of the provisions of the
European Standard until they have been removed
Comments on EN 14879-5 — National legislative/administrative deviations
In Germany construction products for stationary plants for the storage, filling and loading/unloading of water-
hazardous substances require national technical verification with respect to section 1 No. 2 Model Water
Construction Products Code.
A Verification of applicability (e.g. a allgemeine bauaufsichtliche Zulassung ('national technical approval')) is

required for interior linings for containers and pipes and for linings which are used for other facilities in plants
for the storage, filling and loading/unloading of water-hazardous substances.
Further regulations for the application of these products in Germany are given by water legislation
(Verordnungen über Anlagen zum Umgang mit wassergefährdenden Stoffen ('Acts for plants for the handling
of water-hazardous substances'), Technische Regeln wassergefährdender Stoffe (TRwS, 'technical rules
water-hazardous substances')), especially in
 TRwS 779 Allgemeine Technische Regelungen ('General Technical Rules') and
 TRwS 786 Ausführung von Dichtflächen ('Execution of liquid-tight areas').
