Joint fillers and sealants - Part 3: Specifications for preformed joint seals
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 14188-3 standard sets out the requirements for preformed joint seals made of vulcanized rubber specifically for concrete pavements. Additionally, it provides general requirements for the completed joint seals. This standard is applicable to joint seals used in both new concrete pavements and maintenance work in concrete highways.
The purpose of this standard is to ensure that preformed joint seals meet certain criteria in terms of their material composition, dimensions, and physical properties. By specifying the requirements for these joint seals, the standard aims to ensure their effectiveness in preventing the ingress of water, chemicals, and other potential damage-causing elements. The requirements specified in the standard are intended to guarantee that the joint seals have long-lasting performance, contributing to the overall durability and functionality of concrete pavements and highways.
Compliance with DIN EN 14188-3 ensures that manufacturers of preformed joint seals adhere to standardized specifications, giving customers confidence in the quality and reliability of the products they purchase. Moreover, using joint seals that meet this standard will help to ensure the proper functioning and longevity of concrete pavements, reducing the need for frequent maintenance and repair work.
