covering products for discontinuous laying and products for wall cladding”, the secretariat of which is held by
IBN.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical
text or by endorsement, at the latest by March 2006, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at
the latest by March 2006.
This document supersedes EN 539-1:1994.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic,

1 Scope
This European Standard describes two test methods for testing the impermeability to water of clay roof tiles
and fittings which can be considered as equivalent.
NOTE The methods are not applicable to all fittings, because of their different shapes.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.
EN 1304, Clay roofing tiles and fittings - Product definitions and specifications.

4 Samples
If the tiles or fittings are supplied with a surface coating or treatment then the test shall be carried out on
samples which include the surface coating or treatment.
When the tiles or fittings are taken from a site or building, they shall be tested in the state in which they are
found, but the interpretation of the test results shall take into account the stresses to which these installed
products have been subjected.
5 Test methods 1
5.1 Principe
2
The amount of water passing in 48 h through the ceramic body of the tile or fitting per cm of surface area,
under a load of 10 cm of water kept constant throughout the test is determined.

5.2 Apparatus (see Figure 1)
5.2.1 A glass tube (or other rigid transparent material) with an inside diameter of (38 ± 1) mm, and a height
of (150 ± 2) mm for each test piece and one for the measurement of the evaporation level.
5.2.2 A container to hold the test pieces after preparation.
5.2.3 A device at a constant level consisting of a graduated test tube or measuring cylinder with a capacity
