1 Scope
This European Standard specifies definitions and requirements for sealants used for sealing of joints
applied in sanitary areas in the interior of buildings exposed to non-pressurized water.
It covers joints in:
— bathrooms;

— toilets;

— showers;

— domestic kitchens;

— prefabricated elements in sanitary areas (e.g. shower cubicles).

Industrial, drinking water, underwater (swimming pools, sewage systems, etc.), food contact
applications and sealing of glass-ceramic cooktop panels (stove tops, ceramic hobs) are excluded from
the scope.
This European Standard does not provide criteria or recommendations for the design of joints and
installation of sealants in sanitary applications.
NOTE Provisions on assessment and verification of constancy of performance - AVCP (i.e. Product type
determination and Factory Production Control) and marking of these products are given in EN 15651–5.
iTeh STANDARD PREVIEW
(standards.iteh.ai)
This European Standard does not apply to non-structural sealants in any of non-paste form, to those
used in sanitary joints and to oil-based mastics.

4 Requirements
4.1 Identification requirements and test methods
4.1.1 Short description of the sealant

The short description of the non-structural sealant for sanitary joints includes: brand name, type
(general chemical family), opaque or translucent, waterborne or solvent based or solvent free, reactive
or non-reactive, and one or multi-component (e.g. waterborne acrylic opaque and one component, etc.).
The primer shall be stated for the substrate concerned, if relevant (name, chemical type, etc.).
4.1.2 Thermogravimetric test

The test shall be carried out in accordance with EN ISO 11358 on the uncured or wet sealant, between
35 °C and 900 °C, temperature slope 10 °C/min, non-oxidative condition (e.g. nitrogen). A single sample
shall be used for this test. A single specimen may be tested and there shall be no significant difference
between the reference curve and derivative (profile).
In the case of a multi-component sealant, each component shall be evaluated (if relevant).
4.1.3 Density

4.1.3.1 Principal

A pyknometer is filled with the product under test. The density is calculated from the mass of the
iTeh STANDARD PREVIEW
product in the pyknometer and the known volume of the pyknometer.
4.1.3.2 Method (standards.iteh.ai)
A test temperature of (23,0 ± 0,5) °C shall SIST be used and the test sample and pyknometer shall be
EN 15651-3:2017
conditioned to this temperature, and it shall be ensured that the temperature variation does not exceed
https://standards.iteh.ai/catalog/standards/sist/cfad42fa-7aa7-490a-866d-
0,5 °C during testing. 5ad8b3b68791/sist-en-15651-3-2017
The determination of the density shall be in accordance with EN ISO 2811-1:2016 using a suitable
50 cm3 calibrated pyknometer as described in EN ISO 2811-1:2016, 6.1.1. An alternative is the 50 cm3
Hubbard pyknometer as described in ISO 3507.
Measurements should be carried out on the uncured or wet sealant and in the case of a multi-
component sealant, each component shall be evaluated. At least three samples shall be tested. The
specific pyknometer used and the mean value, recorded to two decimal places, shall be declared. The
tolerance of the declared values shall be within ± 5 %.
4.1.4 Indentation hardness (Shore hardness)

The determination of the indentation hardness shall be in accordance with EN ISO 868. The test shall be
performed on the cured or dried sealant.
The exact conditions of the test shall be defined by the manufacturer, i.e. thickness, cure/drying times
and temperature and relative humidity, specific Shore type (A, D…), test time, temperature, etc.
At least three samples shall be tested and five measurements taken per sample. The mean value and
tolerances of all measurements, recorded to the nearest unit, shall be declared.
4.2 Conditioning, test procedure and substrates

When determining the classification of a sanitary sealant according to the requirements of this
standard, the same conditioning procedure shall be used in all the relevant test methods (Method A or
Method B conditioning shall be used for all relevant tests).

6
 SIST EN 15651-3:2017

EN 15651-3:2017 (E)

For each test method, three test specimens for each substrate shall be tested. The same batch of sealant
(and primer, if used) shall be used in all tests. The same substrates (material and surface finish) shall be
used in all tests.
Substrates to be used in all mechanical tests concerned shall be glass and/or anodised aluminium
according to ISO 13640 and/or any substrate used in the sanitary area.
The specific test conditions shall be in accordance with Table 1.
