German construction contract procedures (VOB) - Part C: General technical specifications in construction contracts (ATV) - Waterproofing

The German standard DIN 18336:2019, published by the German Institute for Standardization (DIN) on September 1, 2019, is a part of the German Construction Contract Procedures (VOB) and specifically addresses the General Technical Specifications in Construction Contracts (ATV) for waterproofing works. This standard is essential for ensuring the quality and reliability of waterproofing in construction projects, providing detailed guidelines and technical requirements for contractors and engineers.

The standard outlines the materials, methods, and execution techniques required for effective waterproofing, ensuring that structures are protected against water ingress and related damages. It covers various aspects of waterproofing, including surface preparation, application techniques, and quality control measures. By adhering to DIN 18336:2019, construction professionals can ensure that waterproofing works meet the highest standards of durability and performance.

DIN 18336:2019 is widely recognized and used in the construction industry, not only in Germany but also internationally, as a benchmark for waterproofing specifications. It serves as a critical reference for contractors, architects, and engineers involved in the planning and execution of construction projects, ensuring that waterproofing systems are implemented correctly and effectively.
