Designation:D 6135 05Standard Practice forApplication of Self-Adhering Modified BituminousWaterproofing1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 6135;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon(e)indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This practice covers the minimum installation recom-mendations for self-adhering modified bitumen sheets used inwaterproofing.1.2 For the purpose of this application practice,the substrateis assumed to be structurally sound,sloped to drain,able toaccept the weight of the membrane and other system materials,and meets the local building code requirements.Similarly,allcomponents of the waterproofing system are assumed tocomply with any federal,state,and local environmental regu-lations,which may be in affect at the time of installation.Additional plies of membrane,expansion joints,insulation anddrainage layers are beyond the scope of this practice.1.3 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:2B 29 Specifications for Refined LeadD 1079 Terminology Relating to Roofing,Waterproofing,and Bituminous MaterialsD 5295 Guide for Preparation of Concrete Surfaces forAdhered(Bonded)Membrane Waterproofing SystemsD 5898 Guide for Standard Details for Adhered SheetWaterproofingD 5957 Guide for Flood Testing Horizontal WaterproofingInstallations2.2Other Standard:FM Global Approval Standard 447033.Terminology3.1 Definitions:The terms used in this practice are definedin accordance with Terminology D 1079.4.Significance and Use4.1 This practice outlines general procedures and precau-tions for the application of self-adhering modified bitumenwaterproofing systems used in new installations.4.2 This practice is not all-inclusive and is intended only tosupplement detailed instructions from designers.5.Delivery of Materials5.1 Deliver materials in system suppliers unopened con-tainers and packages.5.2 All materials or material packaging must be markedclearly in a weather-resistant manner with type,stock,lotnumber,and other pertinent information as required by pur-chaser.6.Storage and Handling6.1 Store boxed sheet materials in a horizontal position;store unboxed sheet materials in a vertical position,elevatedoff the ground,and under protective waterproof coverings toprevent contamination of the sheet surfaces.6.2 Store primer,surface conditioner,and mastic in tightlyclosed original containers at temperatures within the rangerecommended by the system supplier.Protect primer,surfaceconditioner,and mastic from moisture and potential sources ofignition.1This practice is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee D08 on Roofing andWaterproofing and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D08.22 on Water-proofing and Damproofing Systems.Current edition approved Dec.15,2005.Published December 2005.Originallyapproved in 1997.Last previous edition approved in 1997 as D 6135 97.2For 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.3Available from FM Global,1301 Atwood Ave.,P.O.Box 7500,Johnston,RI02919.1Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959,United States.6.3 Bring the sheets to the job site in good condition,andhandle materials so as not to damage them.7.Environmental Conditions7.1 Consult system supplier for any special applicationprocedures when ambient temperatures are expected to bebelow 4.4C(40F).8.Materials8.1 Modified Bitumen Prefabricated SheetSelf-adheringmodified bitumen sheet used in waterproofing.8.2 Primer and Surface ConditionerMaterial,to preparethe substrate to accept the membrane.8.3 Liquid MembraneMaterial for inside corner fillets,reinforcements,and terminations.8.4 MasticMaterial for sealing patches and terminations.8.5 Protection BoardMaterial to protect the membranefrom damage after installation.8.6 Mechanical AffxmentsThe mechanical fasteners andstress distribution bar or strips specified for use in the systemmust meet the corrosion guidelines outlined in FM GlobalStandard 4470.9.Substrate Preparation9.1 Contaminants,such as dirt,debris,loose materials,moisture,or surface irregularities,which would interfere withsatisfactory installation of the system,shall be removed.SeeGuide D 5295 for surface preparation.9.2 Apply primer or surface conditioner at the systemsuppliers recommended coverage rate.Allow primer or con-ditioner to dry.Minimum drying time is 1 h
