This European Standard specifies a method for testing adhesion and perceptible changes in the coating during reverse side water action. The test covers situations such as: - coating of young, water saturated, surface dry concrete (e.g. coating after 7 days); - coating of old but water saturated, surface dry concrete; - coated concrete with moisture from behind (without additional hydrostatic pressure), causing an alkaline attack to the coating.
