Implementing Proper Falls and Drainage in External Waterproofing Systems
A well-designed gradient ensures that water is efficiently directed towards drainage points, minimising the risk of pooling and ingress. It encompasses various aspects of installation, from substrate preparation and membrane application to ensuring proper water drainage and membrane termination. The Projex Mission is to source and supply technically excellent products to meet the needs of owners, designers, external above ground waterproofing membrane testing insurers and operators of buildings and structures for specialist protection against water, industrial liquids, impact and corrosion risk
The slip rating however is based on a minimum of five (5) specimens tested, in which the average of the BPN is used. The wet pendulum test covers the majority of installation applications of our products and the below tables set out the various classifications and compare the test results between the P and R Rating tests. AS/NZS 4586 is the primary Australian standard that relates to the slip resistance classifications of new pedestrian surface materials. Flooring must comply with AS 4586 and meet classifications appropriate for high-risk areas exposed to oil and water. It defines classification systems such as P ratings (pendulum test) and R ratings (ramp test), helping specifiers determine appropriate flooring for specific applications. Other methods (Oil Wet Ramp and Wet Barefoot Ramp) exist, but most flooring suppliers and builders only need the two above.

The objective of the Australian Standard for waterproofing is to provide a consistent and reliable approach to both the materials used and the design and installation of external waterproofing membrane systems. These Australian Standards were created to provide recommendations which, when followed, ensure both the materials (AS 4654.1) which is the waterproofing membrane and the design and application (AS 4654.2) of the membrane provide a reliable and consistent result. Compliance with regulatory requirements, suitability for use, and proper curing are all essential factors to consider when selecting and installing a waterproofing membrane. It is important that the correct membrane is selected for each application, a one size fits all approach is never appropriate when it comes to the selection and specification of waterproofing membranes. The inherent properties of a membrane play a crucial role in determining its overall effectiveness and suitability for use for the proposed application. It is important to take proactive measures to ensure that your building remains in good condition and to prevent any water-related damage from occurrin
Don't risk your insurance claim, legal case, or property transaction with biased or non-accredited testing. More importantly, you get truly unbiased results -- which is priceless when making decisions about your property. NATA accreditation involves ongoing assessment, not just a one-time audit. ISO certification typically covers management systems and processes, while NATA accreditation specifically assesses technical competence in testing and calibration. This eliminates any possibility of bias and ensures our results are truly objective.

We provide product and system performance data that satisfies the "fit for purpose" documentation requirements of the Australian Building Code (BCA), the National Construction Code (NCC) and Australian Paint Approval Scheme specifications (APAS
These standards rely on robust accreditation to ensure they are applied consistently and effectively in practice. As the nation’s leading, independent standards body, Standards Australia defines, develops and maintains Australian Standards® that support safety, quality, and innovation. In addition, NMI’s NATA accreditation assists our strategically important partners such the Federal and State Government departments of Agriculture, Health and Environment. Importantly, our accreditation and the processes followed provide superior patient health outcomes for patients. This includes wide brand recognition, industry influence and trust within the broader community.
