BS EN 12808-5:2008

This standard BS EN 12808-5:2008 Grouts for tiles is classified in these ICS categories:

• 91.100.10 Cement. Gypsum. Lime. Mortar

This European Standard applies to all ceramic tile grouts for internal and external tile installations on walls and floors. This European Standard specifies the test method to be used to determine the water absorption coefficient due to capillary action when the grout surface contacts the water without any additional pressure. The coefficient is measured by means of prisms. This European Standard does not contain performance requirements or recommendations for the design and installation of ceramic tiles. NOTE Ceramic tile grouts may also be used for other types of tiles (natural and agglomerated stones, etc.), where these do not adversely affect the stones.
