Adhesives - Test method for cementitious and calciumsulfate-based floor levelling compounds - Standard mixing procedures
This document specifies the procedure for mixing cementitious and calcium sulfate-based floor levelling compounds with water and/or a liquid component as supplied by the manufacturer.
This document applies to cementitious, and calcium sulfate-based floor levelling compounds used for the preparation of subfloors to ensure the suitability of the substrate prior to the installation of floor coverings. By using the floor levelling compound, a homogeneous layer is built up on the load-bearing substrate, to ensure consistent absorbency, evenness and strength.

Dieses Dokument legt das Verfahren zum Mischen von zement- und calciumsulfatbasierten Bodenspachtel
massen mit Wasser und/oder einer vom Hersteller bereitgestellten flüssigen Komponente fest.
Dieses Dokument ist auf zement- und calciumsulfatbasierte Bodenspachtelmassen für die Herstellung von Unterböden anwendbar, um die Eignung des Fügewerkstoffs vor dem Verlegen von Bodenbelägen sicherzu
stellen. Mithilfe der Bodenspachtelmasse wird eine homogene Schicht auf dem krafttragenden Fügewerkstoff aufgebaut, um Absorptionsvermögen, Ebenheit und Festigkeit sicherzustellen.

Overview
oSIST prEN 1937:2026 is a European draft standard developed by CEN, specifically detailing the test method for adhesives based on cementitious and calcium sulfate-based floor levelling compounds. This document outlines the standard mixing procedures for preparing floor levelling compounds with water and/or a liquid component supplied by the manufacturer. The procedures ensure a consistent, homogeneous mixture necessary for the effective preparation of subfloors prior to the installation of various floor coverings. This standard applies to compounds forming a uniform, absorbent, and level layer, optimizing substrate conditions and helping to achieve reliable and high-performance flooring installations.
Key Topics
Scope and Definitions:
- Applies to cement-based (cementitious) and calcium sulfate-based floor levelling compounds.
- Defines underlayment, powder and liquid components, and the prepared mixture.
- Designed for preparation and evaluation of floor smoothing materials before installing floor finishes.
Standard Mixing Procedures:
- Specifies mechanical mixing using a standardized mixer as per EN 196-1.
- Outlines requirements for mixing times, speeds, and equipment to ensure repeatability and consistency.
- Includes two main procedures: without waiting time and with waiting time, adjusted per manufacturer specifications.
Testing and Reporting:
- Guidance on sampling (EN ISO 15605) and preparation of test specimens.
- Conditions for storage and testing environment, such as temperature and humidity (ISO 554).
- Documentation of mixing methods and timing for accurate test reporting.
Applications
oSIST prEN 1937:2026 is highly relevant in the construction and flooring industries, particularly for:
Quality control of floor levelling compounds:
- Laboratories and manufacturers employ this standard to verify the mixing consistency, performance, and suitability of cementitious and calcium sulfate-based systems.
- Supports development of new products, ensuring compatibility with current industry requirements.
Subfloor preparation:
- Flooring installers and contractors follow the standard mixing procedure to achieve optimal substrate conditions - evenness, absorbency, and strength - before installing resilient, textile, laminate, or other floor coverings.
Regulatory and specification compliance:
- Used by architects, specifiers, and procurement professionals to reference recognized procedures in contract documents, further ensuring that installed materials deliver reliable, long-term performance.
Testing and certification bodies:
- Essential for comparative testing and certification of new and existing floor levelling products across Europe, supporting market acceptance and harmonization.
Related Standards
Implementing oSIST prEN 1937:2026 may require familiarity with several related European and international standards, including:
- EN 196-1: Methods of testing cement - Part 1: Determination of strength.
- EN 923: Adhesives - Terms and definitions.
- EN ISO 15605: Adhesives - Sampling.
- EN 1067: Adhesives - Examination and preparation of samples for testing.
- EN 13318:2025: Screed material and floor screeds - Definitions.
- ISO 554: Standard atmospheres for conditioning and/or testing - Specifications.
Together, these standards provide a comprehensive foundation for the selection, preparation, and evaluation of floor levelling compounds and their use in quality subfloor preparation for all types of flooring installations.
