F<strong>or</strong> <strong>kits</strong> which are fixed to the substrate by bonding alone, the board is adhered to a substrate of concrete with theadhesive prescribed by the manufacturer.Other substrates may be used upon agreement if the manufacturer recommends the substrate <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong> the watertight <strong>covering</strong>kit. To demonstrate compatibility with other optional substrates, the board kit shall be applied to the selected substratein acc<strong>or</strong>dance with the initial adhesion test method (A 6.2) in prEN 14891. When a result of m<strong>or</strong>e than <strong>or</strong> equal to thethreshold values acc<strong>or</strong>ding to 2.4.4.3.2 is achieved <strong>or</strong> cohesive failure occurs in the substrate, the requirement isconsidered satisfied.If several types of adhesive are envisaged, then a bond strength test is carried out <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong> each adhesive.2.4.4.3.2 Method of assessing <strong>and</strong> judgingAssessment categ<strong>or</strong>y 0: The test is irrelevantAssessment categ<strong>or</strong>y 1: The bond strength shall be higher than <strong>or</strong> equal to 0,2 MPaAssessment categ<strong>or</strong>y 2: The bond strength shall be higher than <strong>or</strong> equal to 0,3 MPa .Assessment categ<strong>or</strong>y 3: The bond strength shall be higher than <strong>or</strong> equal to 0,5 MPa .2.4.4.4 Scratching resistance2.4.4.4.1 Method of verificationThe scratching resistance of the watertight board kit is determined in acc<strong>or</strong>dance with annex C.The test is only carried out on <strong>kits</strong> with an inherent wearing surface. The test applies <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong> both flo<strong>or</strong> <strong>and</strong> wallapplications.2.4.4.4.2 Method of assessing <strong>and</strong> judgingPass/fail2.4.4.5 Joint bridging abilityThe assessment is not relevant unless it is anticipated that joint movements in the substrate might propagate through theboard, e.g. <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong> very thin <strong>and</strong> brittle boards fully bonded to the substrate2.4.4.5.1 Method of verificationThe joint bridging ability of watertight board <strong>kits</strong> <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong> both <strong>flo<strong>or</strong>s</strong> <strong>and</strong>/<strong>or</strong> <strong>walls</strong> with <strong>and</strong> without wearing surface at jointssubjected to movement of the substrate shall be evaluated based on:Assessment categ<strong>or</strong>y 0: The test is irrelevantAssessment categ<strong>or</strong>y 1: Judging by the approval body based on the descriptions <strong>and</strong> drawings in the manufacturer’stechnical dossier (MTD) that sealings with the components of the kit may be established properly to fulfil therequirements on the assembled waterproofing system.Assessment categ<strong>or</strong>y 2: additional to assessment categ<strong>or</strong>y 1 testing is per<strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong>med in acc<strong>or</strong>dance with the principles inannex B with a 2 mm gap.2.4.4.5.2 Method of assessing <strong>and</strong> judgingIndication of assessment categ<strong>or</strong>y16
