General Information
Frequently Asked Questions
A European Standardization Mandate is a formal request from the European Commission to the European Standardization Organizations (CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI) to develop European standards (ENs) in support of EU legislation and policies. Mandates are issued under Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 and help ensure that products and services meet the essential requirements set out in EU directives and regulations.
M/474 is a European Standardization Mandate titled "Standardisation mandate to CEN/CENELEC concerning the execution of standardisation work for harmonized standards on sealants for non-structural use in buildings and pedestrian walkways". Standardisation mandate to CEN/CENELEC concerning the execution of standardisation work for harmonized standards on sealants for non-structural use in buildings and pedestrian walkways There are 18 standards developed under this mandate.
Standards developed in response to a mandate and cited in the Official Journal of the European Union become "harmonized standards". Products manufactured in compliance with harmonized standards benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the corresponding EU directive or regulation, facilitating CE marking and market access across the European Economic Area.
This European Standard specifies definitions and requirements for non-structural elastic sealants used for sealing glazing in building construction applications.
It covers glazing joints from 7° horizontal. Main areas of application are:
- glass to glass;
- glass to frame;
- glass to porous substrates.
Excluding aquariums, structural bonding/glazing, inner and outer seal to manufacture insulated glazing units, horizontal glazing (below 7°), organic glass (e.g. polycarbonate, PMMA, etc.).

This European Standard specifies definitions and requirements for sealants used for sealing of joints applied in sanitary areas in the interior of buildings exposed to non-pressurized water.
It covers joints in:
- bathrooms;
- toilets;
- showers;
- domestic kitchens;
- prefabricated elements in sanitary areas (e.g. shower cubicles).
Industrial, drinking water, underwater (swimming pools, sewage systems, etc.), food contact applications and sealing of glass-ceramic cooktop panels (stove tops, ceramic hobs) are excluded from the scope.
This European Standard does not provide criteria or recommendations for the design of joints and installation of sealants in sanitary applications.
