EN 13948:2007 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard has been prepared by the Technica

17、l Committee CEN/TC 254 to determine the resistance to root penetration of flexible sheets for roof waterproofing. This European Standard is based on a method developed by the Association FLL (Forschungsgesellschaft Landschaftsentwicklung Landschaftsbau ( http:/www.f-l-l.de/english.html ), Bonn, Germ

18、any). EN 13948:2007 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a method to determine the resistance of roof waterproofing sheets to root penetration. This European Standard relates exclusively to sheets. It is not possible to test a system comprising several different sheets. This European Stand

19、ard does not contain any evaluation of the sheet to be tested in respect of its environmental requirements. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references,

22、ated cavities and thus damaged the sheet 4 Principle The protection against root penetration of a sheet is tested in containers where the sheet is under exposure to roots under specified conditions. The test specimens of the sheet are installed in 6 test containers. The sheet shall have four wall co

23、rner joints, two base corner joints and one central T joint (see Figure 2). Additionally there shall be two control containers without sheets providing a comparison of the vitality of the plants in the test and control containers throughout the whole test period. The containers receive a layer of gr

24、owing substrate and a dense covering of vegetation. This produces a high growing pressure from the roots, emphasised by a limited amount of fertiliser and a moderate watering. The test and control containers are exposed in a climate-controlled greenhouse, in which the parameters having an influence

25、on the growing of the plants can be controlled. The growing period is 2 years as this period is the minimum time necessary to obtain reliable results. EN 13948:2007 (E) 6 After the testing period, the growing substrate is taken away and the behaviour of the test samples is assessed to observe if any

26、 root penetration has occurred. 5 Apparatus 5.1 Greenhouse The greenhouse shall be capable of regulating the temperature and ventilation. The minimum of the internal temperature shall be (18 2) C in the daytime and (16 2) C at night. The greenhouse shall be ventilated when the internal temperature r

27、eaches (22 2) C. A temperature exceeding 35 C should be avoided. NOTE The natural light conditions in Central Europe associated with the indicated temperatures give favourable conditions for the growth of the test plants throughout the year. No shading of the plants in summer or artificial light in

28、winter is necessary. In the case where the tests are performed under significant different light conditions (i.e. North or South of Europe), the light and the shading may be adapted in order to allow the plants to grow properly. Each 800 mm 800 mm container requires an area of approximately 2 m, tak

29、ing into account the requirements for clearance as specified in 7.2. 5.2 Test and control containers 6 test containers and 2 control containers are needed for testing one single sheet. The inside dimensions of the test containers shall be at least 800 mm 800 mm 250 mm. It may be necessary, for insta

30、llation purposes, to have larger containers. The containers shall be fitted with transparent bases to allow the observation of the roots, which may have passed through the sheet during the testing period, without taking away the growing substrate. The base shall be blacked out (with a foil for examp

31、le) to avoid the growing of algae in the moisture layer. For the water supply to the moisture layer, the containers shall have a filler pipe, pointing obliquely upwards, with a diameter of 35 mm, ending near the base tray (see Figure 1). EN 13948:2007 (E) 7 Dimemsions in millimeters 80025035Figure 1

32、 Construction of container 5.3 Moisture layer A layer of coarse mineral granulates shall be placed on the transparent bases of the containers. It shall be permanently kept moist to encourage the roots to draw down onto the transparent base, in order to observe any early penetration of the roots This

33、 layer shall be composed of expanded slate/clay (grain fraction 8/16) of a quality suitable for use in hydroponics systems. When determined in accordance with EN 13038, the expanded slate/clay shall have an electrical conductivity of 15,0 mS/m. 5.4 Pressure distribution layer In order to achieve a u

34、niform distribution of the pressure, a fleece or woven material, 170 g/m and chemically compatible with the sheet to be tested, shall be placed directly under the sheet onto the moisture layer. 5.5 Growing substrate A mixture of homogeneous materials of identified quality available permanently at al

35、l of the test sites. It shall be structurally stable and show a favourable water/air rate and weak base fertiliser content for optimal development of the roots of the test plants. The growing substrate shall be a blend of: 70 % by volume of barely decomposed peat which shall have an electrical condu

36、ctivity of 8,0 mS/m when determined according to EN 13038 and a pH 4,0 1,0 when determined according to EN 13037; 30 % by volume of expanded slate/clay (grain fraction 8/16) complying with the requirements as specified in 5.3. The growing substrate shall be in direct contact with the test sample. EN

37、 13948:2007 (E) 8 5.6 Fertiliser 5.6.1 Basic fertilisers (to be mixed with the growing substrate) a) Fertiliser suitable for substrates, containing N (nitrogen), P (phosphorus), K (potassium) and Mg (magnesium). The fertiliser shall be poor in chloride (containing less than 0,5 % Cl). Composition an

38、d amount of the fertiliser shall be adapted to requirements to substrate (see 7.1). b) Fertiliser suitable for substrates, containing the trace nutrients iron (Fe), copper (Cu), molybdenum (Mo), manganese (Mn), boron (B) and zinc (Zn). For the trace nutrient fertiliser use the amount recommended by

39、the manufacturer. 5.6.2 Slow working coated fertiliser (to be used during the testing period) Fertiliser effective for 6 months to 8 months containing (15 5) % N, (7 3) % P and (15 5) % K. The amount of the slow working fertiliser shall be adapted to the need of 5 g N per application to a 800 mm 800

40、 mm container. 5.7 Tensiometer For the control of the watering, one tensiometer per container, measuring range from 0 hPa to -600 hPa shall be used. 5.8 Test plants The following test plant shall be used: Pyracantha coccinea Orange Charmer - firethorn, in 2 l container, height (70 10) cm. 4 test pla

41、nts per 800 mm 800 mm container shall be installed. When selecting the test plants, ensure that there is uniformly strong growth of the plants. The test plants in the test containers shall, on average, have at least 80 % of the average vitality (height, stem diameter) of the plants in the control co

42、ntainers throughout the whole testing period. 5.9 Water quality for irrigation The water used for irrigation shall have: a) electrical conductivity 70 mS/m; b) bicarbonate (HCO3) (3 1) me/l; c) sulfate (SO4) 250 mg/l; d) chloride (Cl) 50 mg/l; e) sodium (Na) 50 mg/l; f) nitrate (NO3) 50 mg/l. NOTE m

43、e = milliequivalent; 1 me = 1 millimol adjusted for electron charge. The water quality may be ascertained by contacting the appropriate water supplier. EN 13948:2007 (E) 9 6 Sampling of test specimens A reference sample shall be taken from the sheet before and after the test. The sample taken shall

44、have at least one joint and a surface of at least 1 m2. The reference sample shall be stored at temperatures between (15 10) C in a dark a dry room at the place (e.g. testing laboratory) where the test is conducted. In order to be able to identify the tested product clearly, the following informatio

45、n shall be ascertained at the beginning of the test: a) name of the product; b) intended use; c) type of material; d) thickness of waterproofing layer (effective thickness for plastic and rubber sheets); e) product design/structure; f) year of manufacture; g) installation method at test site (overla

46、p, joint technique, jointing agent, type of joint seal, cover strip over joints, special corner and angle joints); h) addition of radicidal agents (e.g. root retardant). NOTE Where the sheet is being tested by a third party, the manufacturer should supply a copy of the installation instructions (wit

47、h date of validity) to the testing organization. 7 Procedure 7.1 Preparation of growing substrate The pH value of the substrate consisting of peat and expanded slate/clay (see 5.5) shall be adjusted to pH (6,2 0,8) by adding calcium carbonate (CaCO3). The required amount can be determined from the f

48、ollowing procedure: a) take 5 samples of well mixed growing substrate per 1 l; b) moisten the samples with tap water; c) add different amounts of calcium carbonate (4 g, 5 g, 6 g, 7 g, and 8 g) to the individual samples; d) place each samples in a plastic bag, seal and label; e) store the samples in

49、 the bag for 3 days at a temperature of (20 5) C; f) determine pH according to EN 13037; g) extrapolate the amount of calcium carbonate that led to the desired pH value in the 1 l sample to the total volume of growing substrate. The basic fertiliser, as given in 5.6.1, shall be mixed homogeneously with the substrate. EN 13948:2007 (E) 10 A sample of the homogeneously mixed substrate shall then be taken to determine pH in accordance with EN 13037, electrical conductivity in accordance with EN 13038 and
