EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 1847 testing. This European standard specifies a method for exposing test specimens of plastic and rubber sheets for roofing, free from all external restrictions, to liquid chemicals (including water) and methods for determining changes in properties resulting from such exposure.

Complete immersion of test specimens in a certain amount of test liquid for a certain time and at a certain temperature. Determination of properties before and after immersion and after drying, if any. In the latter case, determinations are made one after another on the same samples, if possible.

This European standard is designed for the characterization or classification of plastic and rubber sheets manufactured or supplied prior to use. This test method relates exclusively to products or, where appropriate, to their components and not to workplace-installed waterproofing membrane systems consisting of such products.

If information is required on the behavior of the sheet in contact with a particular liquid, that liquid should be used wherever possible. Testing should be done with defined chemical products used on their own or as a mixture; The test should be as representative as possible of the effect on the waterproofing boards.
