Steps
Fluid-applied, separate wearing course: ASTM C836/C836M (High Solids Content, Cold Liquid-Applied Elastomeric Waterproofing Membrane for Use with Separate Wearing Course) is the current designation for hydrostatic-rated liquid membranes overlaid by a topping — verify the current reapproval year (e.g., "-18r22") on astm.org/store before citing.
Fluid-applied, integral wearing surface: ASTM C957/C957M covers the same membrane family without a separate topping.
Cross-type performance guide: ASTM D7832/D7832M (Performance Attributes of Waterproofing Membranes Applied to Below-Grade Walls) lists minimum performance attributes applicable to both sheet and fluid-applied wall membranes — useful for performance-based specs.
Sheet membranes have no single umbrella ASTM specification comparable to C836; self-adhering rubberized-asphalt and composite sheet products are typically qualified against individual property test methods and ICC-ES evaluation reports rather than one designation — verify the manufacturer's cited test methods directly rather than assuming a universal sheet standard exists.
Confirm every designation on ASTM's own product page before publishing a spec — standards get reapproved, revised, or withdrawn (e.g., D6135, a self-adhering sheet practice, was withdrawn in 2014).
Known gotchas
Don't cite ASTM D1970 for below-grade waterproofing — it specifies self-adhering bituminous sheet for steep-roof ice-dam underlayment, a common mis-citation for sheet waterproofing.
A designation like "C836/C836M-18r22" encodes a reapproval year — confirm on the ASTM store page that the cited edition is current and not superseded.
