BS EN 15651-5:2017 PDF Download

BS EN 15651-5:2017 is a standard that focuses on sealants used in non-structural joints in buildings and pedestrian walkways. The standard provides guidelines for the assessment and verification of the constancy of performance, as well as marking and labeling requirements for these sealants.

The purpose of this standard is to ensure the consistent performance of sealants in their intended applications. It establishes procedures for evaluating the ability of sealants to meet specified requirements and to maintain their performance over time. These assessments include tests for adhesion, movement capability, durability, and resistance to environmental factors such as temperature and ultraviolet radiation.

Furthermore, the standard defines the marking and labeling requirements for these sealants. This includes information such as the manufacturer's name, product identification, batch or lot number, and any relevant performance characteristics. The marking and labeling of the sealants provide vital information for consumers, contractors, and regulatory bodies to ensure the proper selection and use of sealants in construction projects.
