Waterproofing Bitumen Membrane in Sydney: CodeMark Certification Expanded
When selecting a waterproofing bitumen membrane in Sydney for commercial projects, compliance with Australian standards is non-negotiable. With strict National Construction Code (NCC) standards and heightened scrutiny from building certifiers across New South Wales, having third-party verified waterproofing products is essential.
We are excited to share an important milestone for Australian specifiers, builders, and waterproofing contractors. The official CodeMark certification for the SOPREMA Waterproofing System has been updated to include four additional high-performance products.
At Enduroflex, we supply these newly certified solutions to help you meet statutory performance requirements with absolute confidence.

1. CodeMark Certified Waterproofing Bitumen Membrane: What it Means
CodeMark Australia provides unassailable proof of product conformity under the NCC 2022 Amendment 2. This updated certificate confirms compliance with Performance Requirements F3P1 (Volume One) and H2P2 (Volume Two) for weatherproofing across building Classes 1 through 10.
When a waterproofing system holds an active CodeMark certificate, building certifiers and surveyors can streamline the sign-off process. You no longer need to rely on fragmented testing reports or push through complex performance solutions on site.
By expanding the certified list of SOPREMA systems, designers gain significantly greater flexibility. You can now specify a fully compliant waterproofing bitumen membrane in Sydney tailored to local climate demands, severe wind loads, and varied substrate designs.
2. Premium Bitumen Membranes: NOVAR CH & POLIBIT
The update introduces three robust, APP-modified bitumen sheet membranes into the CodeMark scheme: NOVAR CH, POLIBIT S/P, and POLIBIT MINERAL. Engineered with composite polyester and glass fibre reinforcements, these membranes offer exceptional mechanical strength and long-term durability.
NOVAR CH and POLIBIT S/P are versatile solutions for exposed roofs, internal gutters, decks, and below-grade tanking. For exposed roof designs requiring superior UV resistance, POLIBIT MINERAL incorporates a pre-applied slate mineral finish.
- Superior Dimensional Stability: Composite reinforcement resists thermal movement and structural expansion.
- Versatile Substrate Compatibility: Certified across concrete, timber, and approved rigid board substrates.
- Proven Performance: Evaluated to rigorous AS 4654.1 standards for heat ageing and seam strength.
3. INSONO AF3: Acoustic Insulation & Direct-Stick Waterproofing
One of the most notable updates to the CodeMark scope is the inclusion of INSONO AF3. This self-adhesive elastomeric bitumen membrane combines waterproofing, acoustic damping, and anti-fracture protection into a single layer.
Designed for internal wet areas and external balconies, INSONO AF3 allows for direct-stick tile applications. This eliminates the need for thick, heavy acoustic screeds, saving critical floor height and speeding up site schedules. Tested under AS 4654.1, it satisfies both acoustic impact standards and wet area waterproofing rules efficiently.
4. Complete Waterproofing Systems in Sydney
A high-performance waterproofing bitumen membrane in Sydney does not work in isolation. To achieve a durable building envelope, the membrane must function with surrounding thermal insulation and drainage components. SOPREMA systems certified under CodeMark are designed for both cold and warm roof configurations, including tapered insulation and green roofing designs.
