Building construction - Jointing products - Classification and requirements for sealants
Also Known As:
The DIN EN ISO 11600 standard provides specifications for different types and classes of sealants used in building construction. The standard aims to classify sealants based on their applications and performance characteristics.
By providing a classification system, the standard helps both manufacturers and users of sealants understand the specific requirements and performance expectations for different types of sealants. It ensures that the sealants used in building construction meet the necessary standards and perform adequately in different applications.
This standard is important for the construction industry as it helps in ensuring the quality and effectiveness of sealants used in various building applications, such as joints, gaps, or spaces between different building components. Adhering to this standard can help improve the durability, performance, and safety of buildings, as sealants play a crucial role in preventing water ingress, air leakage, and maintaining structural integrity.
