EN 13956 Flexible sheet for waterproofing – Plastic and rubber sheets for roof waterproofing – Definitions and characteristics

1 Scope

This European Standard specifies the definitions and characteristics of plastic and rubber sheets including sheets made out of their blends and alloys (thermoplastic rubber) for which the intended use is roof
waterproofing. It specifies the requirements and test methods and provides for the evaluation of conformity of the products with the requirements of this European Standard.
NOTE For typical materials and applications, see Annex E.
