POLYMER MODIFIED BITUMINOUS THICK COATINGS - EN 15814
For waterproofing products of buildings in below ground structures, the systems of assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP) are determined according to the table below in accordance with the definitions given in the EN 15814 standard.

a: Because all PMBC have requirements for waterproofing of buildings in below ground structures, all products covered by this standard come under attestation system 3. In case of additional requirements on reaction to fire for this characteristic and the related parameters, depending on the classes attestation of systems of assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP) 1, 3 or 4 shall additional applied. |
When the footnote is examined in the table above where the AVCP systems are determined; It turns out that the systems of assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP) of polymer modified bituminous thick coatings for waterproofing materials is generally 3. For A1-E class waterproofing sheets, reaction to fire class tests must be carried out by notified bodies.
If the reaction to fire class is A1, A2, B and C with the regulations made in the process, these products are evaluated as system 1; AVCP systems is handled within the scope of system 3. The products obtained as A1, A2, B and C class without any regulation or as D or E class with the arrangements made in the process are handled as system 3 within the scope of the assessment and verification of the performance constancy.
On the other hand, no fire test is required for class F products and the AVCP system is evaluated as 4.

Duties within the scope of system 1 for EN 15814
For product type determination (PTD) tests, the activities of the notified test laboratory for these products included in system 1 are limited to the verification of the waterproofing property. For such products, reaction to fire tests must be carried out by an approved test laboratory under the responsibility of the certification body. The producer is responsible for the application of tests for other features given in the ZA.1 table.
The duties of the producers and notified bodies in the EN 15814 standard for products with reaction to fire class D or E and therefore evaluated as system 3 are determined by the table given below.

For these products included in System 3, the control activities of the notified test laboratory under the responsibility of the manufacturer are limited to the waterproof feature. Based on this, the tests that must be performed by the notified laboratory are listed below. The manufacturer is responsible for the application of other tests given in the ZA.1 table.
