Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom BS EN 12004-1:2017 EN 12004-1:2017 (E) Introduction It is essential that the characteristics of the construction products defined in this standard consider 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 adhesives should resist the degrading actions of climate, etc Many properties of adhesives for tiling are mainly determined by the type of binders used Different types of tile adhesives are defined according to the chemical nature of their binders The different types of adhesives for ceramic tiles have specific characteristics in terms of their 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 standard The manufacturer should give information about the use of the product and the correct conditions of use The specifier should evaluate the state of the job site (mechanical and thermal influences) and choose the appropriate product considering all the possible risks BS EN 12004-1:2017 EN 12004-1:2017 (E) Scope This European Standard is applicable to the following three types of adhesives for ceramic tiles, i.e cementitious ones for internal and external tile installations, dispersion and reaction resin ones for internal tile installations, on walls and floors This European Standard gives the terminology concerning the products, working methods, application properties, etc, for ceramic tile adhesives This European Standard specifies the performance requirements for the adhesives for ceramic tiles It also specifies the appurtenant test methods, assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP), as well as classification, designation and marking of adhesives for ceramic tiles This European Standard does not provide criteria or recommendations for the design and installation of ceramic tiles Ceramic tile adhesives may also be used for other types of tiles (natural and agglomerated stones, etc.), if they not adversely affect these materials Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are

and of FPC Initial inspection of factory and of FPC shall be carried out when the production process has been finalized and in operation The factory and FPC documentation shall be assessed to verify that the requirements of 6.3.2 and 6.3.3 are fulfilled During the inspection it shall be verified: a) that all resources necessary for the achievement of the product characteristics included in this European Standard are in place and correctly implemented; and b) that the FPC-procedures in accordance with the FPC documentation are followed in practice; and c) that the product complies with the product type samples, for which compliance of the product performance to the DoP has been verified All locations where final assembly or at least final testing of the relevant product is performed, shall be assessed to verify that the above conditions a) to c) are in place and implemented If the FPC system covers more than one product, production line or production process, and it is verified that the general requirements are fulfilled when assessing one product, production line or production process, then the assessment of the general requirements does not need to be repeated when assessing the FPC for another product, production line or production process All assessments and their results shall be documented in the initial inspection report 6.3.5 Continuous surveillance of FPC Surveillance of the FPC shall be undertaken once per year The surveillance of the FPC shall include a review of the FPC test plan(s) and production processes(s) for each product to determine if any changes have been made since the last assessment or surveillance The significance of any changes shall be assessed Checks shall be made to ensure that the test plans are still correctly implemented and that the production equipment is still correctly maintained and calibrated at appropriate time intervals The records of tests and measurement made during the production process and to finished products shall be reviewed to ensure that the values obtained still correspond with those values for the samples submitted to the determination of the product type and that the correct actions have been taken for non-compliant products 6.3.6 Procedure for modifications If modifications are made to the product, production process or FPC system that could affect any of the product characteristics declared according to this standard, then all the characteristics for which the manufacturer declares performance, which may be affected by the modification, shall be subject to the determination of the product type, as described in 6.2.1 Where relevant, a re-assessment of the factory and of the FPC system shall be performed for those aspects, which may be affected by the modification All
