This European Standard specifies definitions and requirements for sealants used for sealing of joints applied in sanitary areas in the interior of buildings exposed to non-pressurised water.
It covers joints in:
bathrooms;
toilets;
showers;
domestic kitchens.
Industrial, drinking water, underwater (swimming pools, sewage systems, etc.) and food contact applications are excluded from the scope.
This European Standard does not provide criteria or recommendations for the design of joints and installation of sealants in sanitary applications.
NOTE Provisions on evaluation of conformity (i.e. Initial Type Testing and Factory Production Control) and marking of these products are given in EN 15651-5.
This European Standard does not apply to non-structural sealants in any of non-paste form, to those used in sanitary joints and to oil-based mastics.
