Grouts for tiles - Part 3: Determination of flexural and compressive strength
This European Standard applies to all ceramic tile grouts for internal and external tile installations on walls and floors.
This European Standard describes the test method to be used to determine the compressive and flexural strength of ceramic tile grouts.
This European Standard does not contain performance requirements or recommendations for the design and installation of ceramic tiles.
NOTE Ceramic tile grouts may also be used for other types of tiles (natural and agglomerated stones, etc.), where these do not adversely affect the stones.
Klebstoffe und Fugenmörtel für Fliesen und Platten - Teil 3: Bestimmung der Biege- und Druckfestigkeit
Diese Europäische Norm ist auf sämtliche Fugenmörtel für keramische Fliesen und Platten an Wand und Boden für innen und außen anwendbar.
Diese Europäische Norm beschreibt das Prüfverfahren zur Bestimmung der Druck und Biegefestigkeit von Fugenmörtel für keramische Fliesen und Platten.
Diese Europäische Norm enthält keine Anforderungen und keine Empfehlungen hinsichtlich der Planung und Verlegung von keramischen Fliesen/Platten.
ANMERKUNG Fugenmörtel für keramische Fliesen und Platten können auch für andere Arten von Fliesen und Platten verwendet werden (Natur , Betonwerksteine usw.), sofern diese die Steine nicht negativ beeinflussen.
Mortiers de joints pour carrelage - Partie 3: Détermination de la résistance à la flexion et à la compression
La présente Norme européenne s’applique à tous les mortiers utilisés pour le jointoiement de carrelages
céramiques sur les murs et au sol, à l’intérieur et à l’extérieur.
La présente Norme européenne spécifie la méthode d’essai qui doit être utilisée pour déterminer la résistance
à la flexion et à la compression des mortiers pour le jointement de carrelages céramiques.
La présente Norme européenne ne contient pas de spécifications, ni de recommandations pour la conception,
la pose et le jointoiement des carrelages en céramique.
NOTE Les mortiers de joints pour carrelages céramiques peuvent être également utilisés pour d’autres types de
