About This Item
ASTM D5898/D5898M is the ASTM standard guide for standard details for adhered sheet waterproofing, providing a technical reference for how these systems are typically detailed. It is useful for designers, specifiers, and contractors who need a consistent basis for describing and coordinating waterproofing details in construction documents. By focusing on standard details rather than a single product, this guide helps support clearer communication, more consistent installation expectations, and better alignment between design intent and field practice.
Overview of ASTM D5898/D5898M
The purpose of ASTM D5898/D5898M is to guide the use of standard details for adhered sheet waterproofing systems. As an ASTM standard, it supports a common technical language for detailing where sheet waterproofing is applied and how related components are generally represented. This can be valuable during design development, specification writing, and review of project documents. ASTM D5898/D5898M is best understood as a practical reference that helps reduce ambiguity in waterproofing detailing and supports more consistent project coordination.
Common use cases of ASTM D5898/D5898M
This standard is commonly used when project teams need a reference for detailing adhered sheet waterproofing in building and infrastructure assemblies. It may support waterproofing design decisions, submittal review, and specification preparation for below-grade or other protected conditions where sheet systems are used. ASTM D5898/D5898M is also relevant when coordinating transitions, terminations, and interfaces in drawings, helping teams present waterproofing details in a more uniform and reviewable way.
Benefits of using ASTM D5898/D5898M
