A.2 Apparatus A.2.1 A base of non-porous material such as metal or glass, on which the sample rests during
39、testing. NOTE If the base is transparent and suitably supported, it will enable any leakage to be observed from below. A.2.2 A watertight, bottomless box-frame, to be placed on top of the test specimen. The box-frame shall have vertical sides at least 300 mm and shall cover a surface area of at leas
40、t 300 mm x 500 mm. The box-frame will be supporting water pressure and should therefore be held in place by clamps or weights. The box-frame shall be sealed to achieve water tightness between the floor covering and the box-frame. A.2.3 Indicator paper, sensitive to moisture. A.3 Test specimen The te
41、st specimen shall be flat or capable of being flattened so that it lies flat on the base. The base may be covered by polyethylene foil or similar material. When preparing test specimens the manufacturers instructions shall be observed. The size of the specimen shall be at least 500 mm x 800 mm and i
42、t shall be provided with seams welded in accordance with manufacturers recommendations (see Figure A.1). BS EN 13553:2017EN 13553:2017 (E) 8 Dimensions in millimetres Key 1 welded seam Figure A.1 Specimen with welded seams A.4 Conditioning Special conditioning is not required. The test specimen shal
43、l be dry on visual inspection and be at a temperature of 15 C to 25 C. A.5 Testing The temperature of the water during testing shall be 15 C to 25 C. Cover the supporting base with the indicator paper. Place the test specimen on the indicator paper with the use surface upwards. Place the box-frame o
44、ver the test specimen and press the support towards the box-frame to ensure water tightness (see A.2 and Figure A.2). Fill the box-frame with water to a level of 200 mm 10 mm above the upper surface of the test specimen. This water level is maintained for 24 h 1 h after which the water is drained of
45、f. The moisture indicator and the test specimen are examined for any signs of water penetrating the specimen. The test specimen is considered watertight if there is no sign of penetrating water.

BS EN 13553:2017EN 13553:2017 (E) 10 Annex B (informative) Choice of floor covering category The choice of category should be made according to national codes of practice. If a code of practice does not exist the criteria of choice should be the following: Cate
48、gory A: For use on all substrates where traffic intensity or risk of mechanical damage is normal. Category B: For use on all substrates where traffic intensity or risk of mechanical damage is higher than normal.
