This European Standard is applicable to ceramic tile adhesives for internal and external tile installations on walls, floors and ceilings. This standard gives the terminology concerning the products, working methods, application properties, etc, for ceramic tile adhesives. This European Standard specifies the values of performance requirements for ceramic tile adhesives (cementitious, dispersion and reaction resin adhesives). This European Standard does not provide criteria or recommendations for the design and installation of ceramic tiles. NOTE Ceramic tile adhesives may also be used for other types of tiles (natural and agglomerated stones, etc.), if they do not adversely affect these materials.
