SI 1430 part 1 - Roof waterproofing sheets: Poly(Vinyl Chloride) sheets; (7 page(s), in Hebrew), (42 page(s), in English)

Revision of the Mandatory Standard SI 1430 part 1, dealing with Roof waterproofing PVC sheets. This proposed standard revision adopts both the European Standard EN 13956: December 2012 and the American Standard ASTM D4434/D4434M – 21 and allows compliance with either. The major differences between the old version and this new revised draft standard are as follows:

1.    In the European route of compliance:

o   Changes the mandatory requirements based on the German Standard DIN V 20000-201: 2006-11, to be voluntary recommendations;

o   In Section 5.2.5 - Deletes the option for the sheets to comply with Israel Standard SI 921.

2.    In the American route of compliance:

o   Omittes the requirement to classify the sheets according to fire resistance according to the Israeli standard TI 921.

o   Adopts an updated version of the American Standard.

Both the old and the new revised standards will apply from entry into force of this revision for a transition period of six months. During this time, products may be tested according to the old or the new revised standards.
