This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an ident
16、ical text or by endorsement, at the latest by November 2009, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by November 2009. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be hel
17、d responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 13888:2002 The main changes from the 2002 version are: the change in the requirements for flexural strength for cementitious grouts; the modification of Table 4 “Production Control Frequency”; the modification o

DIN EN 13888:2009-08 EN 13888:2009 (E) 4 Introduction The characteristics of the construction produ
20、cts 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 the type of substrate and that the grouts should resist the degradin
21、g 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 different types have specific characteristics in terms of application prope
22、rties 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 use of the product and the correct conditions of use. The specifier
23、evaluates the state of the job site (mechanical, thermal and chemical influences) and chooses the appropriate product considering all the possible risks. DIN EN 13888:2009-08 EN 13888:2009 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard is applicable to ceramic tile grouts for internal and external tile instal
24、lations 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 cementitious and reaction resin grouts for ceramic tiles. This European
25、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 adversely affect these materials. 2 Normative references The followin
