Overview
EN 15651-3:2017 - published by CEN - is the European standard for sealants for sanitary joints used in interior sanitary areas exposed to non-pressurized water. It defines terminology, identification, test methods and performance requirements for non‑structural sealants applied in bathrooms, toilets, showers, domestic kitchens and prefabricated sanitary elements (e.g., shower cubicles). The standard excludes industrial/drinking-water, underwater (pools, sewage), food-contact uses and sealing of glass‑ceramic cooktops. It does not cover joint design or installation practice.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and classification: Sealants for sanitary joints are covered as type “S” with performance classes (e.g., S1–S3 and XS1–XS3).
- Required tests and properties (referenced test methods are normative):
- Thermogravimetric analysis (EN ISO 11358) on uncured product - 35 °C to 900 °C at 10 °C/min in non‑oxidative conditions.
- Density determination by pycnometer (EN ISO 2811-1) at (23.0 ± 0.5) °C (50 cm3 pyknometer is typical).
- Indentation hardness (Shore) on cured sealant (EN ISO 868); at least three samples and five measurements per sample.
- Mechanical performance: tensile properties at maintained extension (EN ISO 8340), adhesion/cohesion at variable temperatures (EN ISO 9047), and after water immersion (EN ISO 10590 / EN ISO 10591). For S‑classes a minimum elongation after water immersion of 25 % is required.
- Change in mass and volume (EN ISO 10563).
- Resistance to flow (EN ISO 7390) measured with a vertical anodised‑aluminium profile; required limits differ by class (resistance to flow values are specified in the standard). Tests are performed at (50 ± 2) °C (50 % RH) and at (5 ± 2) °C.
- Evaluation of resistance to microorganisms (EN ISO 846) - growth intensity classification for sanitary environments.
- Conditioning and substrates: Method A or B conditioning must be used consistently across tests; substrates include glass and/or anodised aluminium (ISO 13640) or other sanitary materials.
- Conformity and marking: Provisions for AVCP (assessment and verification of constancy of performance), factory production control and marking are given in EN 15651-5.
