1 Scope This European Standard is applicable 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 cementitious 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 adversely 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. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 12808 (all parts), Grouts for tiles 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 General 3.1.1 wall and floor tiles tiles made out of ceramic or natural and agglomerated stones 3.1.2 grouting a tile surface process of filling the joints between all types of tiles, with the exception of movement joints 3.2 Products 3.2.1 ceramic tile grout any suitable product to be used to fill the joints between all types of ceramic tiles 3.2.2 cementitious grout (CG) mixture of hydraulic binding agents, aggregates, inorganic and organic additives
NOTE The grout has only to be mixed with water or liquid admix just before use. SIST EN 13888:2009

mixture of synthetic resin, aggregates, inorganic and organic additives in which hardening occurs by chemical reaction NOTE They are available in one or more component forms. 3.2.4 liquid admix or latex additive special aqueous polymer dispersion to be mixed with a cementitious grout on site 3.3 Tools and working methods There are three possible working methods for filling the joints between tiles: a) manually with a rubber float or suitable tool; b) with an air pressurized- or handgun from a cartridge or an appropriate container (often done with reaction resin grouts); c) mechanically with a suitable machinery. The cleaning of tiles after the application of the grout can be performed manually or mechanically with appropriate tools. 3.4 Application properties 3.4.1 shelf life time of storage under stated conditions during which a grout may be expected to maintain its working properties 3.4.2 maturing time interval between the time when the cementitious grout is mixed and the time when it is ready for use 3.4.3 pot-life maximum time interval during which the grout can be used after mixing 3.4.4 grouting time minimum time interval after installation of tiles, after which the grout can be applied into the joints 3.4.5 cleaning time time interval between filling the joints and starting to clean the tiles 3.4.6 service time minimum time interval after which the tile installation can be put into service 3.5 Final properties 3.5.1 flexural strength maximum value of a grout prism failure determined by exerting a force in flexure at three points SIST EN 13888:2009
