AS/NZS 4858:2004 (R – Internal Wet Area Membranes   
Equally important is the prevention of water damage to the internal components of the building, which can result in costly repairs and disruptions. Ensuring that the membrane that you are using complies with the regulatory requirements as outlined within the NCC (National Construction Code) is critically important. Adhesion testing is a destructive test method conducted using aluminium dollies connected to a hydraulic pump to discern the bond strength that a membrane has to the substrate. Adhesion testing is a destructive test most commonly applied on exposed areas such as rooftops and podiums. Australian Standards, the National Construction Code and Housing Provisions outline minimum requirements to be adhered to waterproofing system installations. Holiday Testing is most commonly used on Waterproofing Integrity projects as an efficient testing on exposed membrane.

This is the moisture absorption test and you can have up to 10% increase in moisture content in just 24 hours! This set of tests is ASTM E96 - universally applied all over the planet. It was originally made for the food industry to make sure packaged foods didn't dry out on the shelves and we then stole it to tell us if our walls would or wouldn't go mouldy (spoiler alert, they will). The requirements Independent Testing Australia also apply to wet areas within Class 5 to 9 buildings as if it were a Class 2 or 4 part of a building. The minimum requirements for the materials, design and installation of waterproofing for domestic wet areas in a Class 2, 3 and Class 4 part of a building are outlined within AS 3740. Clause F2D2 and Specification 26 of Volume One of the NCC sets out the areas that must be waterproof or water resistant for Class 2 to 9 building

The final type of ELD tesƟng listed in the ASTM D7877 guide is the low voltage horizontal membrane scanning plaƞorm. This can be a time-consuming process if the original waterproof membrane applicator is not on site to rectify any detected faults immediately. Detected breaches will need to be repaired before further testing can be carried out. Two probes are used to identify breaches and will always be directed to the strongest breach.

ASTM G154 testing is an economical and time-saving way of determining material durability. ASTM G154 significantly contributes to product quality enhancement by replicating various environmental conditions to emphasize the scope for improvement in material integrity and durability. Since everyone is doing the same thing, the data produced is reproducible and trustworthy, which helps one Independent Testing Australia to have more faith in the performance and life of the materials. This makes it easier to develop more precise products and product quality, as well as regulatory requirements in a number of industries.
