This European Standard specifies the test method to be used to determine the transverse deformation of cementitious ceramic tile adhesives and grouts.This European Standard is applicable to all cementitious ceramic tile adhesives and grouts for internal and external tile installations on floors and walls.It is not applicable to non-cementitious adhesives and grouts , e.g. dispersion and reactive resin adhesives and grouts. This European Standard does not contain performance requirements or recommendations for the design and installation of ceramic tiles.NOTECeramic tile adhesives can also be used for other kinds of tiles (natural and agglomerated stones, etc.), where these do not adversely affect these materials.
