BS EN 12808-1:2008 is a standard that specifies a test method for determining the chemical resistance of reaction resin mortars used in ceramic tile installations. The purpose of this standard is to assess the performance of these grouts under anticipated service conditions in both internal and external settings on walls and floors. It should be noted that this standard does not provide specific requirements or recommendations for the design and installation of ceramic tiles and grouts.

It is important to be aware that ceramic tile adhesives and grouts can also be used with other types of tiles, such as natural and agglomerated stones, as long as these do not have any adverse effects on the materials. However, it is essential to exercise caution as this standard may involve hazardous materials and operations. Users of this standard should be familiar with standard laboratory practices. This standard does not cover all safety concerns that may arise when utilizing it. It is the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate safety and health practices and ensure compliance with applicable European and national regulations.
