KG have been assessed and registered as meeting the <br />requirements of BS EN ISO 9001 : 2015 by TÜV Rheinland Cert GmbH International (Certificate 01 100 6383/05).</p> <p>3 Delivery and site handling <br />3.1 AQUAFIN-CJ6 is supplied in 40 m rolls, which are packaged in a carton containing 5 rolls and having a gross weight <br />of approximately 25 kg. Cartons can be supplied on pallets containing a maximum of 20 cartons. <br />3.2 The product must be stored under cover, clear of the ground and protected from UV, moisture, frost and other <br />sources of contamination at a temperature of between 5 and 35°C. When stored correctly in unopened packs, <br />AQUAFIN-CJ6 will have a shelf life of at least two years from the date of manufacture. <br />3.3 The Certificate holder has taken the responsibility of classifying and labelling the product under the CLP Regulation <br />(EC) No 1272/2008 on the classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures. Users must refer to the <br />relevant Safety Data Sheet(s).</p> <p>Page 3 of 7</p> <p>Assessment and Technical Investigations <br />The following is a summary of the assessment and technical investigations carried out on AQUAFIN-CJ6.</p> <p>Design Considerations <br />4 Use <br />4.1 The product is satisfactory for use as part of a Type B (structurally integral) protection (as defined in BS 8102 : <br />2009) to waterproof construction joints and penetrations in underground waterproof reinforced concrete structures. <br />4.2 The product is not suitable for use in movement joints, eg expansion joints. <br />4.3 The product swells on contact with water and must be fully confined within the concrete structure to form an <br />effective seal. <br />4.4 The unconfined AQUAFIN-CJ6 will expand by up to 550 % by volume in neutral pH water. The expansion under <br />alkaline or acidic water conditions will be less, but will be adequate to enable the product to form an effective seal <br />when fully confined. <br />4.5 The product will shrink on drying, but will re-hydrate on wetting and re-swell to provide an effective seal. <br />4.6 The ability of the product to expand and form an effective seal can be adversely affected by the groundwater <br />chemistry, especially saline conditions. A detailed study of this aspect must be carried out to establish the presence of <br />any contamination. The Certificate holder must be consulted for advice on specific applications, service conditions and <br />groundwater chemistry. <br />4.7 The product will develop significant pressure when confined within a concrete structure and must be covered by at <br />least 80 mm of concrete from each edge to avoid damage to the concrete.</p> <p>5 Practicability of installation <br />5.1 The product must only be installed by contractors who have been trained by the Certificate holder. <br />5.2 To avoid premature swelling, the product must be protected from contact with water until enclosed in the <br />structure and must not be placed during rain or when rain is forecast.</p> <p>6 Resistance to water pressure <br />6.1 When confined, the product forms an effective barrier to water under hydrostatic pressure from the <br />ground in water-resistant reinforced concrete construction joints. <br />6.2 The product was tested at a maximum hydrostatic water pressure of 4.0 bar and remained watertight. <br />6.3 An appropriate safety factor must be applied to the maximum water pressure given in section 6.2 and the use of <br />additional waterproof protection should be considered, depending on the specific use and risks associated with any <br />particular structure.</p> <p>7 Maintenance <br />As the product is confined within the structure and has suitable in-situ durability, maintenance is neither possible nor <br />required.</p> <p>Page 4 of 7</p> <p>8 Durability <br />8.1 AQUAFIN-CJ6 will function effectively as a waterstop and provide an effective barrier to water under <br />hydrostatic pressure for the life of the structure in which it is incorporated.</p> <p>8.2 The durability of the product may be affected if dislodged or damaged during or following installation, therefore <br />care must be taken to ensure that the product remains in position and is not dislodged when concrete is poured over it, <br />nor damaged during subsequent actions, eg vibration.</p> <p>Installation <br />9 General <br />9.1 AQUAFIN-CJ6 must be placed onto smooth and dust-free concrete surfaces. Uneven and irregular surfaces must be <br />levelled using a suitable mastic. The Certificate holder must be consulted for suitable products, the performance of <br />which are outside of the scope of this Certificate. <br />9.2 Dust, dirt and other debris must be removed using a stiff brush and/or suitable mechanical means.</p> <p>10 Procedure <br />Placing <br />10.1 AQUAFIN-CJ6 is unrolled and placed onto the concrete surface to sit centrally between the inner and outer rows <br />of the reinforcing bars. <br />10.2 A minimum of 80 mm concrete coverage must be ensured around all edges. <br />10.3 Roll ends must be placed to have an overlap of ≥50 mm and pressed firmly together, or by butt jointing. Butt <br />joints must be covered by a separate section of waterstop with a 30 mm overlap to both sections. <br />Fixing <br />10.4 AQUAFIN-CA can be used on clean substrates, wire brushed to remove all contamination. A 10 mm bead of <br />AQUAFIN-CA is gunned onto the substrate, and the product firmly pressed into the adhesive. <br />Enclosing <br />10.5 Prior to enclosing AQUAFIN-CJ6, the placed product must be inspected for damage and premature swelling. If <br />damaged and/or swollen, the product must be replaced at this stage. <br />10.6 Concrete is then poured to enclose the product, compacting well around the waterstop but taking particular care <br />not to dislodge or damage the strip during the process.</p> <p>Technical Investigations <br />11 Tests <br />Tests were carried out on samples of AQUAFIN-CJ6 and the results assessed to determine: <br />• <br />• <br />• <br />• <br />•</p> <p>product characteristics <br />resistance to hydrostatic water pressure <br />unrestricted swelling characteristics under alkali, neutral and acidic water conditions <br />effect of wet/dry cycles on swelling characteristics <br />load developed when restrained. <br />Page 5 of 7</p> <p>12 Investigations <br />The manufacturing process was evaluated, including the methods adopted for quality control, and details were <br />obtained of the quality and composition of the materials used.</p> <p>Bibliography <br />BS 8102 : 2009 Code of practice for protection of below ground structures against water from the ground <br />EN ISO 9001 : 2015 Quality management systems — Requirements</p> <p>Page 6 of 7</p> <p>Conditions of Certification <br />13 Conditions <br />13.1 This Certificate: <br />• relates only to the product/system that is named and described on the front page <br />• is issued only to the company, firm, organisation or person named on the front page – no other company, firm, <br />organisation or person may hold or claim that this Certificate has been issued to them <br />• is valid only within the UK <br />• has to be read, considered and used as a whole document – it may be misleading and will be incomplete to be <br />selective <br />• is copyright of the BBA <br />• is subject to English Law. <br />13.2 Publications, documents, specifications, legislation, regulations, standards and the like referenced in this <br />Certificate are those that were current and/or deemed relevant by the BBA at the date of issue or reissue of this <br />Certificate. <br />13.3 This Certificate will remain valid for an unlimited period provided that the product/system and its manufacture <br />and/or fabrication, including all related and relevant parts and processes thereof: <br />• are maintained at or above the levels which have been assessed and found to be satisfactory by the BBA <br />• continue to be checked as and when deemed appropriate by the BBA under arrangements that it will determine <br />• are reviewed by the BBA as and when it considers appropriate. <br />13.4 The BBA has used due skill, care and diligence in preparing this Certificate, but no warranty is provided. <br />13.5 In issuing this Certificate the BBA is not responsible and is excluded from any liability to any company, firm, <br />organisation or person, for any matters arising directly or indirectly from: <br />• the presence or absence of any patent, intellectual property or similar rights subsisting in the product/system or any <br />other product/system <br />• the right of the Certificate holder to manufacture, supply, install, maintain or market the product/system <br />• actual installations of the product/system, including their nature, design, methods, performance, workmanship and <br />maintenance <br />• any works and constructions in which the product/system is installed, including their nature, design, methods, <br />performance, workmanship and maintenance <br />• any loss or damage, including personal injury, howsoever caused by the product/system, including its manufacture, <br />supply, installation, use, maintenance and removal <br />• any claims by the manufacturer relating to CE marking. <br />13.6 Any information relating to the manufacture, supply, installation, use, maintenance and removal of this <br />product/system which is contained or referred to in this Certificate is the minimum required to be met when the <br />product/system is manufactured, supplied, installed, used, maintained and removed.
