Designation:D7832/D7832M14Standard Guide forPerformance Attributes of Waterproofing MembranesApplied to Below-Grade Walls/Vertical Surfaces(EnclosingInterior Spaces)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D7832/D7832M;the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This guide lists test methods intended to establish aminimum level of acceptable performance attributes for rein-forced or laminated waterproofing membranes applied tobelow-grade walls.1.2 This guide does not include cementitious,integral,orbentonite waterproofing systems.1.3 This guide does not include membranes applied underslabs on grade or on suspended slabs below grade or applied tosoil retaining systems,water containment structures,or tun-nels.1.4 It is not possible to establish a precise correlationbetween laboratory tests on waterproofing membranes andperformance attributes after installation due to variations inchemicals in the soil,design,material,and installation.1.5 The values stated in either inch-pound or SI units are tobe regarded separately as standard.The values stated in eachsystem may not be exact equivalents;therefore,each systemshall be used independently of the other.Combining valuesfrom the two systems may result in non-conformance with thestandard.1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2C1305 Test Method for Crack Bridging Ability of Liquid-Applied Waterproofing MembraneC1522 Test Method for Extensibility After Heat Aging ofCold Liquid-Applied Elastomeric Waterproofing Mem-branesD95 Test Method for Water in Petroleum Products andBituminous Materials by DistillationD471 Test Method for Rubber PropertyEffect of LiquidsD543 Practices for Evaluating the Resistance of Plastics toChemical ReagentsD570 Test Method for Water Absorption of PlasticsD896 Practice for Resistance of Adhesive Bonds to Chemi-cal ReagentsD903 Test Method for Peel or Stripping Strength of Adhe-sive BondsD1079 Terminology Relating to Roofing and WaterproofingD1204 Test Method for Linear Dimensional Changes ofNonrigid Thermoplastic Sheeting or Film at ElevatedTemperatureD1790 Test Method for Brittleness Temperature of PlasticSheeting by ImpactD4551 Specification for Poly(Vinyl Chloride)(PVC)PlasticFlexible Concealed Water-Containment MembraneD5147 Test Methods for Sampling and Testing ModifiedBituminous Sheet MaterialD5385 Test Method for Hydrostatic Pressure Resistance ofWaterproofing MembranesD5636 Test Method for Low Temperature Unrolling of Feltor Sheet Roofing and Waterproofing MaterialsD5683 Test Method for Flexibility of Roofing and Water-proofing Materials and MembranesD5849 Test Method for Evaluating Resistance of ModifiedBituminous Roofing Membrane to Cyclic Fatigue(JointDisplacement)D6134 Specification for Vulcanized Rubber Sheets Used inWaterproofing SystemsD7234 Test Method for Pull-Off Adhesion Strength of Coat-ings on Concrete Using Portable Pull-Off Adhesion Tes-tersD7281 Test Method for Determining Water Migration Re-sistance Through Roof Membranes1This guide is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D08 on Roofing andWaterproofing and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D08.22 on Water-proofing and Dampproofing Systems.Current edition approved July 1,2014.Published July 2014.DOI:10.1520/D7832_D7832M-14.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 E154 Test Methods for Water Vapor Retarders Used inContact with Earth Under Concrete Slabs,on Walls,or asGround CoverE1745 Specification for Plastic Water Vapor Retarders Usedin Contact with Soil or Granular Fill under Concrete Slabs2.2 International Codes Council:3International Building Code3.Terminology3.1 For definitions relating to waterproofing,refer to Termi-nology D1079.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 performthe ability of all essential properties to meetor exceed specified test values.3.2.2 protection courseprefabricated boards,drainagecomposites,sheets,or insulation applied to the positive surfaceof the membrane to protect it from damage from backfillingand construction operations.3.2.3 waterproofing membranea single or multiple plymembrane,factory manufactured or liquid applied and whichis internally reinforced or lam
