18、009 (E) 4 Introduction The characteristics of the construction products defined in this European Standard have to consider that the normal stresses due to the works for which they are intended, assembled or installed, can be properly accommodated. Some special characteristics will take into account
19、the type of substrate and that the grouts should resist the degrading actions of climate, environment, etc. Many properties of grouts for tiles are mainly determined by the type of binders used. Tile grouts are defined in different types depending on the chemical nature of their binders. The differe
20、nt types have specific characteristics in terms of application properties and final performance. The relationship between characteristics and the working conditions (dry or humid conditions, hot climate, fast setting, etc.) is not given in this standard. The manufacturer gives information about the
21、use of the product and the correct conditions of use. The specifier evaluates the state of the job site (mechanical, thermal and chemical influences) and chooses the appropriate product considering all the possible risks. BS EN 13888:2009EN 13888:2009 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard is applicab
22、le to ceramic tile grouts for internal and external tile installations on walls and floors. This standard gives the terminology concerning the products, working methods, application properties, etc., for ceramic tile grouts. This European Standard specifies the performance requirements for cementiti
23、ous and reaction resin grouts for ceramic tiles. This European Standard does not contain criteria or recommendations for the design and installation of ceramic tiles. NOTE Ceramic tile grouts can also be used for other types of tiles (natural and agglomerated stones, etc.), where these do not advers
24、ely affect these materials. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.
