Introduction
The characteristics of the construction products defined in this document take into consideration 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 degrading actions of climate, environment, etc.
Many properties of grouts for ceramic 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 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 document.
The manufacturer gives information about the 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.
1 Scope
This document is applicable to ceramic tile grouts for internal and external tile installations on walls
and floors.
This document gives the terminology concerning the products, working methods (see Annex A),
application properties, etc. for ceramic tile grouts.
This document specifies the performance requirements for cementitious and reaction resin grouts for
ceramic tiles.
This document does not contain criteria or recommendations for the design and installation of ceramic
tiles.
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.
