4.3 Application related characteristics 4.3.1 Reaction to fire Where required, the reaction to fire shall be determined in accordance with 5.2.2. 4.3.2 Resistance to water penetration 4.3.2.1 Class W1 The product shall be classified as resistant to water penetration Class W1 if it passes the resistance to water penetration test in accordance with 5.2.3. If the product fails the test of resistance to water penetration indicated in 5.2.3, it shall be tested in accordance with 4.3.2.2. 4.3.2.2 Class W2 A product failing to pass the test indicated in 5.2.3 shall be tested in accordance with 5.2.4. If the measured mean volume of water passing through the specimens tested is less than 100 ml, the product shall be classified as resistant to water penetration Class W2. SIST EN 13859-2:2010
4.3.3 Water vapour transmission properties The product shall be tested in accordance with 5.2.5 and the results shall lie within the declared tolerance of the manufacturer’s declared value. Other measuring methods shall also be allowed if the correlation with 5.2.5 is proved and recorded. If the water vapour diffusion-equivalent air layer thickness sd is above or equal to 0,2 m the product shall be tested in accordance with 5.2.5.1. If the sd value is below 0,2 m the product shall be tested in accordance with 5.2.5.2. If the sd value is below 0,1 m the standard deviation s shall also be recorded in the test report. 4.3.4 Resistance to penetration of air The product shall be tested in accordance with 5.2.6. The test result shall be given as air permeability, expressed in m3 air per m2, hour at 50 Pascals pressure difference (m3/(m2 × h × 50 Pa)). The value of air permeability shall be equal to or lower than the manufacturer's limiting value. 4.3.5 Tensile properties The product shall be tested in accordance with 5.2.7 and the results shall lie within the declared tolerance of the manufacturer’s declared values for tensile strength and the maximum and/or minimum values for elongation for both longitudinal and transverse directions. 4.3.6 Resistance to tearing The resistance to tearing of underlays shall be tested in accordance with 5.2.8 and the results shall lie within the declared tolerance of the manufacturer's declared value in both (longitudinal and transverse) directions. 4.3.7 Dimensional stability The dimensional stability shall be determined in accordance with 5.2.9. The shrinkage or lengthening shall be equal to or less than the manufacturer's limiting value. 4.3.8 Flexibility at low temperature (pliability) Where appropriate, the flexibility at low temperature (pliability) determined in accordance with 5.2.10 shall be equal to or less than the manufacturer’s limiting value. 4.3.9 Artificial ageing behaviour The product shall be tested in accordance with 5.2.11. The mean values of tensile strength and elongation of the test specimens before and after artificial ageing shall be declared on the product data sheet by the manufacturer. The resistance to water penetration of artificially aged materials shall pass the same class declared by the manufacturer as defined in 4.3.2. For walls which do not exclude UV exposure, e.g. with open joints, the artificial ageing by UV shall be extended over a period of 5 000 h. NOTE “UV-exposed“ means that there are designed open joints in the wall covering which allow the penetration of daylight to reach the product. SIST EN 13859-2:2010
