After all, they exhibit varying resistances to the transport of moisture. This how they ensure well-protected building components. It is important that the spread between humidity-variable s<sub>d<\/sub> values should be as large as possible. The reason for this is that a humidity-variable vapour retarder can only offer maximum protection if it is as impermeable as possible in winter \u2013 meaning that little moisture can enter into components. On the other hand, it should be very open to diffusion in summer to allow components to dry out again when necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"719\" data-size=\"1200x842\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.proclima.com\/int\/files\/2020\/03\/hydrosafe-intello-1024x719.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.proclima.com\/int\/files\/2020\/03\/hydrosafe-intello-1024x719.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.proclima.com\/int\/files\/2020\/03\/hydrosafe-intello-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.proclima.com\/int\/files\/2020\/03\/hydrosafe-intello-768x539.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.proclima.com\/int\/files\/2020\/03\/hydrosafe-intello-428x300.jpg 428w, https:\/\/blog.proclima.com\/int\/files\/2020\/03\/hydrosafe-intello.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Vapour retarder membranes with a humidity-variable diffusion resistance provide the best protection against condensation water damage to building structures.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Testing by an independent committee of experts at DIBt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to DIN&nbsp;4108-3, materials are regarded as open to diffusion if they have an s<sub>d<\/sub> value of under 0.50&nbsp;m. Only vapour retarders with constant diffusion resistances can be tested within the framework of CE marking in line with DIN&nbsp;EN&nbsp;13984. As a consequence, pro clima decided to submit its popular INTELLO and INTELLO PLUS membranes for this demanding testing. The requirements for these tests were specified by an independent committee of experts at the German Institute of Construction Engineering (DIBt). As part of this testing, the two vapour retarders were subjected to accelerated ageing with significantly more demanding conditions (increased temperature and doubled ageing period) as compared with DIN&nbsp;EN&nbsp;13984. In addition, the permitted deviations of the aged diffusion resistances from the unaged diffusion resistances have been made significantly more demanding in this evaluation as compared to the European standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do you have any questions?
