BS EN 14187-7:2019 PDF Download

BS EN 14187-7:2019 is a standard that provides a test method for determining the resistance to flame of cold applied joint sealants designed for use in joints in roads, air fields, and other trafficked areas. The purpose of this test method is to evaluate the performance of these sealants when exposed to flame, ensuring their ability to resist ignition and prevent the spread of fire.

The standard outlines the procedure for carrying out the flame resistance test, including the necessary equipment and test conditions. It specifies the dimensions and preparation of the test samples, as well as the parameters for the flame application. The test evaluates the sealant's ability to withstand direct flame without igniting, sustaining flame spread, or emitting excessive heat.

By determining the resistance to flame of cold applied joint sealants, this standard enables manufacturers, contractors, and end-users to ensure that the sealants used in critical applications comply with specific safety requirements. This test method helps to mitigate the risk of fire accidents and protects the integrity of joints in traffic areas.
