Standards Development
This European Standard specifies the determination of flexibility of bitumen sheets at low temperatures. The test can be carried out on the upper or lower face of the sheet either at a predetermined temperature or successively at different temperature steps to determine the cold bending temperature which represents a limiting temperature. Therefore, the test can be used to confirm a minimum cold bending temperature for a product or to determine the specific cold bending temperature for the product e.g. to determine the change of these properties as a result of artificial ageing.
In the case of sheets with the same bituminous compound on both sides and where the reinforcement is placed in the cross section visually closer to the upper surface, the test is performed on the bottom face only.
If the upper surface is covered with a non woven (e.g. tissue, fleece etc.) or metal facing, the test is performed on the bottom side only.
If the sheet on the upper surface is covered with permanent light surface protection and where the reinforcement is placed in the cross section visually closer to the upper surface, the test is performed on the bottom side only.
The main purpose of this revision is to open the length of the specimen to larger ones. Thereby, other equipment requiring different lengths can be used fulfilling the requirements of this standard. Furthermore, a paragraph is proposed to be added, which indicates a procedure followed if it is not possible to remove a thin film.
The request for this revision was made by SC 1 after considering the result of the latest Systematic Review of EN 1109 (N2335 or N655 of SC 1).
