“Update on Waterproofing”: the live webinar on the new waterproofing standards 2026
The requirements for building waterproofing are constantly changing – particularly with the revised DIN 18533:2026 and the new waterproofing guidelines. This means that architects, building protection specialists and skilled tradespeople must keep their knowledge up to date and plan with confidence. Our live webinar "Update on Waterproofing" provides a clear, practical and concise overview of what now matters most.
At Saint-Gobain Weber, we see ourselves not only as a manufacturer of easy-to-apply system solutions in the field of construction chemicals, but also as an active partner in the construction industry’s transition. We are aware of our responsibility and are committed to shaping sustainable and future‑proof construction.
Our mission statement "Empowering People to Build Better" means sharing knowledge, providing guidance and developing practical solutions to support you in your daily work.
This is precisely why we invest purposefully in high‑quality training formats such as “Update in Waterproofing”.
The latest generation of waterproofing standards introduces significant changes. Notably, DIN 18533:2026 establishes new criteria for building waterproofing and the classification of water exposure levels.
This means increased responsibility for you in terms of planning, execution and documentation. Ensuring the waterproofing of buildings is becoming an increasingly challenging task, particularly in the renovation of existing buildings. Errors in interior waterproofing or in components that are in contact with the ground can quickly lead to damage.

In our practice‑oriented online seminar on waterproofing, experienced experts provide you with solid, up-to-date knowledge of the latest standards and developments.
