Bibliography

This document applies to calcium sulphate binders and composite binders made of calcium sulphate used for the manufacture of floor screeds for interior use in buildings. It also includes requirements for factory made mixtures made of calcium sulphate used for the manufacture of floor screeds which are given in EN 13813. This document does not cover the application of floor screeds. Floor screeds made with products covered by this document may contribute to thermal and sound insulation and fire protection of the floor.
