Designation:D6769/D6769M02(Reapproved 2018)Standard Guide forApplication of Fully Adhered,Cold-Applied,PrefabricatedReinforced Modified Bituminous Membrane WaterproofingSystems1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6769/D6769M;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 application and installation requirementsfor fully adhered,cold-applied,prefabricated modified bitumi-nous membrane waterproofing systems for below-grade orbelow-wearing-surface(such as plaza decks)vertical or hori-zontal applications.1.2 For the purposes of this application guide,the substrateis assumed to be structurally sound,sloped to drain(if newconstruction),and meeting the local building code require-ments.Similarly,the system components are assumed tocomply with all federal,state,and local requirements in effectat the time of installation.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.4 This guide may involve hazardous materials,operations,and equipment.This standard does not purport to address allof the safety 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 requirements prior to use.1.5 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:2D1079 Terminology Relating to Roofing and WaterproofingD5295/D5295M Guide for Preparation of Concrete Surfacesfor Adhered(Bonded)Membrane Waterproofing SystemsD5898/D5898M Guide for Standard Details for AdheredSheet WaterproofingD5957 Guide for Flood Testing Horizontal WaterproofingInstallations3.Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 lift,nthe height or length of sheet that may becomfortably handled by the person applying the sheet to avertical surface.This is normally the height of this person,or1.5 to 2.1 m 5 to 7 ft.3.1.2 skin over,na condition in which the surface of thematerial is no longer tacky,but will move under slight fingerpressure.3.1.3 tack,na condition in which if the surface is touched,there will be a string of material attached to the finger.3.2 For definitions of other terms relating to waterproofing,see Terminology D1079.4.Significance and Use4.1 This guide outlines general procedures for the storageand application of various prefabricated sheets made usingmodified bituminous materials and intended for use as below-grade and below-wearing-surface waterproofing.4.2 The substrate used for applications described in thisguide shall be concrete or masonry.4.3 This application consists of a prefabricated reinforcedmodified bituminous sheet applied to a suitable substrate using1This 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 Oct.15,2018.Published November 2018.Originallyapproved in 2002.Last previous edition approved in 2010 as D6769/D6769M 02(2010)1.DOI:10.1520/D6769_D6769M-02R18.2For 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.1 a bituminous-based,cold-applied adhesive or mastic.Applica-tion rates given are typical for such installations.4.4 This guide is intended to supplement instructions fromdesigners and manufacturers.5.Delivery of Materials5.1 Deliver materials in suppliers original containers andpackaging.6.Storage and Handling6.1 Store adhesive or mastic in tightly closed originalcontainers under the conditions recommended by the manufac-turer.6.2 Store the modified bituminous sheet in the manufactur-ers original packaging in t
