BS EN 12730:2015

What is BS EN 12730 - Flexible sheets for waterproofing about?  

BS EN 12730 is an international standard used for Flexible sheets for waterproofing that specifies the test methods for determining the resistivity of static load on the flexible sheet.  

BS EN 12730 specifies a test for puncture by static loading for roofing membranes. Mechanical stress on membranes varies from static long-term loads to dynamic short-term loads. This method represents the static category of load where the stress is applied over a period of time. 

Note: BS EN 12730 may also be applied for waterproofing. 

Who is BS EN 12730 - Flexible sheets for waterproofing for? 

BS EN 12730 on Flexible sheets for waterproofing is useful for: 

• Manufacturers of flexible sheets 
• Constructor of buildings 
• Civil engineers 
• Architects 
• Interior designers 

Why should you use BS EN 12730 - Flexible sheets for waterproofing?  

A flexible sheet for waterproofing is a coating prepared from highly environmentally friendly modified polymer emulsion. 

BS EN 12730 specifies the test method and test procedure for flexible sheets for waterproofing. This test method helps in determining the resistivity of static load on this flexible sheet. By using BS EN 12730 you can manufacture a good quality flexible sheet for roof proofing.
