Designation:D7832/D7832M14(Reapproved 2021)Standard 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 nonconformance 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,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.7 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2C1305/C1305M Test Method for Crack Bridging Ability ofLiquid-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/D5147M Test Methods for Sampling and TestingModified Bituminous Sheet MaterialD5385/D5385M Test Method for Hydrostatic Pressure Re-sistance of Waterproofing MembranesD5636/D5636M Test Method for Low Temperature Unroll-ing of Felt or Sheet Roofing and Waterproofing MaterialsD5683/D5683M Test Method for Flexibility of Roofing andWaterproofing Materials and MembranesD5849/D5849M Test Method for Evaluating Resistance ofModified Bituminous Roofing Membrane to Cyclic Fa-tigue(Joint Displacement)1This 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 Dec.1,2021.Published December 2021.Originallyapproved in 2014.Last previous edition approved in 2014 as D7832/D7832M 14.DOI:10.1520/D7832_D7832M-14R21.2For 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 StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.1D6134/D6134M Specification for Vulcanized Rubber SheetsUsed in Waterproofing 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 MembranesE154/E154M Test Methods for Water Vapor Retarders Usedin C
