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 Standard does not contain any evaluation of the sheet to be tested in respect of its environmental requirements.
