Methods of Test for Mortar for Masonry - Part 12: Determination of Adhesive Strength of Hardened Rendering and Plastering Mortars on Substrates
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 1015-12 standard is a method of test for mortar used in masonry. Specifically, it focuses on the determination of the adhesive strength of hardened rendering and plastering mortars on substrates. The standard provides guidelines for conducting tests to measure the strength between the mortar and the substrate.
The purpose of this standard is to ensure that the mortar used in masonry applications adheres well to the substrate, ensuring durability and longevity of the construction. By measuring the adhesive strength, it helps to determine the bond between the mortar and the substrate, providing valuable information for assessing the quality and effectiveness of the mortar.
This standard is relevant for manufacturers, contractors, and testing laboratories involved in the production, installation, and evaluation of rendering and plastering mortars in masonry construction. It provides a standardized methodology for conducting tests, enabling consistent and reliable assessment of adhesive strength.
