Grouts for Ceramic Tiles - Part 2: Test Methods
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 13888-2 standard provides guidelines for determining the characteristics of grouts used in the installation of ceramic tiles. It should be noted that this standard does not include performance requirements or recommendations for the design and installation of ceramic tiles.
The standard outlines several test methods for assessing the properties of grouts. These methods include determining the flexural and compressive strength, water absorption, shrinkage, resistance to abrasion, and chemical resistance of the grouts. It is important to mention that the grouts can also be used with other types of tiles, such as natural and agglomerated stones, as long as they do not adversely affect the stones.
It is essential to handle the testing and use of grouts in accordance with appropriate safety measures outlined in this standard. The European Standard acknowledges the potential hazards associated with these materials and operations and advises users to possess knowledge of standard laboratory practices. The responsibility lies with the user to establish and maintain adequate safety and health practices and ensure compliance with any applicable European and national regulatory conditions.
