Overview

EN 15651-1:2017 is the CEN European standard that defines requirements and test methods for non‑structural facade sealants used in building joints. It covers sealants intended for exterior wall joints, window and door perimeter joints (including the interior face). The standard excludes non‑paste products, sealants for interior partitions/walls only, and oil‑based mastics. Provisions for assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP), product type determination, factory production control and marking are given in EN 15651‑5.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope & classification
  • Applies to sealants for facade elements (F) with application categories like EXT‑INT (exterior & interior), INT (interior only) and CC (cold climate).
  • Common class designations: 25LM, 25HM, 20LM, 20HM, 12.5E, 12.5P, 7.5P (each class has specific mechanical and durability requirements).
• Performance characteristics
  • Elastic recovery (EN ISO 7389) - minimum recovery targets by class.
  • Resistance to flow (EN ISO 7390) - limited flow under test conditions (table indicates ~3 mm requirement).
  • Tensile properties (EN ISO 8339 / EN ISO 8340) - secant modulus and elongation/extension requirements at defined temperatures and strains.
  • Adhesion/cohesion and tensile properties after water immersion (EN ISO 9047, EN ISO 10590, EN ISO 10591).
  • Loss of volume (EN ISO 10563) - limits for shrinkage/volume change.
• Identification & physical tests
  • Short product description (chemical family, waterborne/solvent, reactive/non‑reactive, single/multi‑component, primer info).
  • Thermogravimetric analysis (EN ISO 11358) on uncured product: 35 °C to 900 °C, 10 °C/min, non‑oxidative.
  • Density by pycnometer (EN ISO 2811‑1) - 50 cm3 recommended; mean value ±5% tolerance.
  • Shore indentation hardness (EN ISO 868) on cured product - manufacturer defines curing conditions; minimum sampling rules apply.
• Conditioning & substrates
  • Consistent conditioning (Method A or B) across tests; substrates per ISO 13640 (mortar M1/M2, anodised aluminium, glass).
• Durability, sampling and marking
  • Durability tests and sampling rules are specified; AVCP and marking requirements referenced to EN 15651‑5.

Applications and users

Practical applications:

• Sealing exterior wall joints, façades, window and door perimeters, and related interface joints in buildings - including cold‑climate façades when using CC‑rated products.

Who uses the standard:

• Sealant manufacturers (product development, specifications, declarations), test laboratories (type and performance testing), architects and specifiers (product selection and performance verification), façade installers and building contractors, and regulatory authorities responsible for CE marking and construction product compliance.

NF = No Failure according to EN ISO 11600. 4.3.2 Sealants for facade elements used in cold climates 4.3.2.1 General This test has been developed to demonstrate that elastic sealants for exterior use perform well at lower temperatures than those currently tested at in EN ISO 11600 (e.g. common winter temperatures in Northern Europe). The specific intention is to ensure that the sealant continues to perform at – 30 °C, which is a common winter temperature in cold climate areas. The test is not relevant for plastic sealants (as defined by classes 12,5P and 7,5P in Table 2). In addition to the requirements given in Table 2, elastic non-structural sealants for facade elements required to maintain performance in cold climates (- 30 °C) shall fulfil the requirements given in Table 3. The classification of the sealant given in Table 2 shall be determined prior to this optional additional test and the corresponding test amplitude shall be applied to this additional test. The designation CC (cold climate) shall be declared for any sealant meeting the requirements of Tables 2 and 3. For example, Type F Class 25LM CC. SIST EN 15651-1:2017
