ISO 11617:2014 PDF Download

ISO 11617:2014 is a standard that provides guidelines for testing the performance of elastic weatherproofing sealants used in buildings and civil engineering works. The standard focuses on determining the changes in cohesion and appearance of these sealants after exposing them to artificial weathering and mechanical cycling.

The standard specifies laboratory exposure procedures that simulate the effects of cyclic movement and exposure to weathering conditions typically encountered in outdoor environments. This enables the evaluation of how the sealants hold up and maintain their properties under these conditions.

The goal of ISO 11617:2014 is to ensure that the sealants used in construction projects are able to withstand the anticipated environmental conditions, maintain their physical properties, and continue to provide effective weatherproofing. By subjecting the sealants to artificial weathering and mechanical cycling, this standard helps determine their long-term durability and performance.
