ISO 13007-6:2020 PDF

Overview

ISO 13007-6:2020 specifies requirements, test methods, evaluation of conformity, classification and designation for bonded sheet waterproofing membranes used beneath ceramic tiles. The standard applies to internal and external tile installations on walls and floors and provides terminology, performance values and labelling requirements for waterproof membranes associated with tile adhesives. It does not cover crack isolation, decoupling, sound control or thermal properties.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope: Applied to bonded, preformed sheet waterproofing membranes bonded to both substrate and tile.
• Fundamental performance (examples from the standard):
  • Tensile adhesion strength (initial and after conditioning such as water contact, heat ageing, freeze–thaw, lime water): minimum ≥ 0,2 N/mm.
  • Water permeability: no visual penetration beneath the membrane and ≤ 3,0 g weight gain at seams under test conditions.
• Optional/Enhanced characteristics:
  • BM2 (enhanced adhesion): tensile strengths ≥ 0,5 N/mm.
  • W (low water vapour permeance): **
