This European Standard specifies the test method to be used to determine the transverse deformation of
cementitious ceramic tile adhesives and grouts.
This standard is applicable to all cementitious ceramic tile adhesives and grouts for internal and external tile
installations on floors and walls.
It is not applicable to ceramic tile adhesives and grouts which possess elastomeric properties, such as many
dispersions and reaction resin adhesives and grouts.
This European Standard does not contain performance requirements or recommendations for the design and
installation of ceramic tiles.
NOTE Ceramic tile adhesives can also be used for other kinds of tiles (natural and agglomerated stones, etc.), where
these do not adversely affect these materials.
