###### Abstract  
This study reviewed new concept waterproofing performance gradation to respond to the limit of unified single standard performance standard used in each country from the past until now. This study was carried out using the standard test data from 34 products tested and evaluated by Korea's national quality test institution for 2 years (2018-2019) based on national standard specification (KS F 4934, Self-Adhesive Rubberized Asphalt Sheet). Major proposal contents utilized the result values of 9 waterproofing performance evaluation criteria included in the national standard specification. Major study contents and results are as follows. Existing widely used domestic and overseas standard grading (Stanine, Sten Scores, Grade 5 Scale, energy consumption efficiency, and other grading) theories were investigated and analyzed. Based on the analysis contents, standard Grade 5 Scale system suitable for waterproofing material performance grading was selected and applied. Grade sections were set according to the application ratio for each grade section of Grade 5 Scale (grade 1 with 10%, grade 2 with 20%, grade 3 with 40%, grade 4 with 20% and grade 5 with 10%). According to the set sections, performance grades were derived for 9 test criteria of 34 products. Section setting standard for grade section was derived centered on the performance result values of 9 criteria. As a result, average value of waterproofing performance of each of 9 test criteria for 34 products was verified to have 1.2 times to 7.52 times higher performance value than the minimum quality standard (based on grade 5). Such results sufficiently showed the limit of the current unified single standard performance application. Also, as a solution for waterproofing quality degradation problem, possibility to apply the waterproofing performance grading of this study was verified. Therefore, through this study, it is decided that new concept quality standard to pursue future waterproofing industry development can be set, quality reinforcement is possible by performance grading for each product and sustainable waterproofing performance maintaining effect at the waterproofing construction site can be expected with the use of such gradation.

problem (temperature change, snow, rain, wind, water pressure, earth pressure, earthquake, vibration, various service loads, etc.) as one of the problems that must be solved right after completion [2]. Such environmental problem works as a factor to deteriorate concrete structure. Among the deteriorating factors, water leakage that is on the news every day recently as social issue is one of the representative cases [3]. Water leakage occurring in construction structure is recognized as a chronic problem that is not solved yet from the past until now [4]. To solve water leakage problem, all aspects of waterproofing design, waterproofing material, waterproofing construction and waterproofing maintenance [5] must be considered. Especially, waterproofing material performance [6] is one of the performances that are required as mandatory for sustainable long lifespan and high durability construction structure [7]. Therefore, waterproofing material requires high quality complex performance that can respond to various and harsh environment and usage conditions [8] inside and outside the construction structure. Material used for waterproofing are classified to asphalt, synthetic polymer, inorganic, etc. [9] according to the chemical composition ingredients and can be divided to film, sheet and complex form [10] according to the form. These waterproofing material are managed by standard such as KS, JIS, ANSI, ASTM, GB, BS, DIN, etc. [11] in each country, and in most standards, minimum quality standard and the test methods [11] are presented for each waterproofing material. This is the quality management method generally applied not only in Korea but also in many countries, and it has contributed greatly to the waterproofing technology development of the past and the present.
