28、 to be resisted (see Clause 5 to Clause 10): movement (see Clause 5); traffic and load conditions (see Clause 6); wet and damp conditions (see Clause 7); chemical attack (see Clause 8); thermal effects (climatic and environmental) (see Clause 9); contamination from radioactivity (see Clause 10).b) C
29、onditions to be achieved (see Clause 11 to Clause 14): sterile conditions (see Clause 11); thermal insulation (see Clause 12); sound insulation (see Clause 13); anti-static conditions (see Clause 14).For situations where several conditions are present the design specificationshould be directed towar
30、ds achieving the most important function required ofthe system. In some cases a compromise solution might be found for meetingconflicting needs, but this should not be undertaken if its adoption is likely toplace the durability of the installation at risk.Design specifications should meet the most e
31、xacting conditions that could beimposed on the installation, even though these might not be sustained andmight occur infrequently.Slip resistance and cleaning should be considered at the design stage.NOTE 1 Guidance on these subjects is given in Clause 15 and Annex A.BRITISH STANDARDBS 5385-4:20152
32、The British Standards Institution 2015If an installation is subjected to change of use, introducing conditions differentfrom those originally foreseen, a careful check of the installation should bemade to assess its degree of suitability.NOTE 2 Classes of tiles suitable for use in specific condition
33、s are given in Table 1 forwall tiling and Table 2 for floor tiling.NOTE 3 Suitability of bedding methods for use in specific conditions are given inTable 3 for walls and in Table 4 for floors.Recommendations given in Table 1, Table 2, Table 3 and Table 4 regardingsuitability should be read only in c
34、onjunction with the specified clauses.NOTE 4 Resistance of tile bed, grout and sealant materials to various liquids aregiven in Table 5.As some adhesives and jointing materials emit odours during curing that mightadversely affect foodstuffs and other materials and/or cause discomfort tooccupants, th

46、 tofactors such as drying shrinkage (see 5.2) and moisture movement (see 5.3) in thebackground and thermal and moisture changes in the tiling. These stresses, if notproperly controlled, can sometimes be sufficient to promote loss of adhesion andbulging or cracking of the tiling. There are also sourc
47、es of movement external to thetiling system that might affect the tiles themselves, e.g. settlement and subsidence ofbuildings, vibration and lift shafts and machinery. Settlement, subsidence andvibration are uncommon sources of trouble, but where the stresses they promote areconsiderable, wall and
48、floor tiling are likely to be affected.No precautions can be taken at the time of tiling to eliminate the effects ofsettlement and subsidence but the use of a deformable adhesive can bebeneficial in reducing the effects of vibration and specialist advice should besought. With other sources of moveme
49、nt, there are positive steps that should betaken to reduce the risk of tiles being damaged during their service life.5.2 Drying shrinkage movementDrying shrinkage movement of backgrounds is the most common source ofmovement in tile installations and it is important that new constructions shouldbe allowed to dry out before tiles are fixed. Minimum drying times inaccordance with BS 5385-1, BS 5385-2 and BS 5385-3 should be followed.NOTE The times given might require considerable extension dep
