BS EN 13880-7:2019 PDF Download

BS EN 13880-7:2019 is a standard that focuses on the function testing of hot-applied joint sealants. The purpose of this standard is to provide guidelines for testing joint sealants that are used in construction joints and cracks in road and airfield pavements. Specifically, it addresses the conditions where joints are exposed to temperature of -20 °C and crack joint movement of 35%.

The standard outlines the specific testing procedures and requirements for evaluating the performance of these joint sealants under these conditions. It ensures that the sealants are able to withstand the temperature fluctuations and movement without compromising their effectiveness in sealing the joints and preventing water penetration.

By providing a standardized approach to function testing, BS EN 13880-7:2019 helps to ensure that hot-applied joint sealants meet the necessary performance criteria. This is important in maintaining the longevity and durability of construction joints and cracks in road and airfield pavements, ultimately contributing to the overall safety and efficiency of these structures.
