This European Standard specifies the test method to be used to determine the shear adhesion strength of
reaction resin ceramic tile adhesives.
This European Standard is applicable to all reaction resin ceramic tile adhesives for internal and external tile
installations on floors and walls.
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 the stones.
This European Standard can involve hazardous materials and operations. Persons using this European
Standard should be familiar with normal laboratory practice. This European Standard does not purport to
address all the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user to establish
appropriate safety and health practices and to ensure compliance with any European and national regulatory
conditions.
