Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 13007-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 189, Ceramic tiles.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 13007-1:2004), which has been technically
revised. It also incorporates the Technical Corrigendum ISO 13007-1:2004/Cor.1:2006.
ISO 13007 consists of the following parts, under the general title Ceramic tiles — Grouts and adhesives:
⎯ Part 1: Terms, definitions and specifications for adhesives
⎯ Part 2: Test methods for adhesives
⎯ Part 3: Terms, definitions and specifications for grouts
⎯ Part 4: Test methods for grouts

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 13007-1:2010(E)

Ceramic tiles — Grouts and adhesives —
Part 1:
Terms, definitions and specifications for adhesives
1 Scope
This part of ISO 13007 defines terms concerning the products, working methods and application properties for
ceramic tile adhesives. It specifies values of performance requirements for all ceramic tile adhesives
[cementitious (C), dispersion (D) and reaction resin (R) adhesives].
This part of ISO 13007 is applicable to ceramic tile adhesives for internal and external tile installations on
walls and floors.
It is not applicable to criteria or recommendations for the design and installation of ceramic tiles.
NOTE Ceramic tile adhesives can also be used for other types of tiles (natural and agglomerated stones, etc.), where
these do not adversely affect the materials.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.
ISO 13006, Ceramic tiles — Definitions, classification, characteristics and marking

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 13006 and the following apply.
3.1
substrate
fixing surface
surface on which the tile is installed or fixed
3.2
wall and floor tiles
tiles made out of ceramic tile or natural and agglomerated stones

immediately prior to use
3.4
dispersion adhesive
D
ready-for-use mixture of organic binding agent(s) that is in the form of an aqueous polymer dispersion, organic

R
single or multi-component mixture of synthetic resin, mineral fillers and organic additives in which curing
occurs by chemical reaction
3.6
notched trowel
toothed tool, which makes it possible to apply the adhesive as a series of ribs of a uniform thickness on to the
fixing surface and the reverse face of the tile
3.7
application to one surface only
adhesive applied only to the fixing surface with a trowel to obtain a uniform layer and then combed with a
notched trowel
3.8
application to both surfaces
adhesive applied to the fixing surface and to the reverse surface of the tiles
3.9
shelf life
time of storage under stated conditions during which an adhesive can be expected to maintain its working
properties
3.10
maturing time
interval between the time when the cementitious adhesive is mixed and the time when it is ready for use
3.11
pot life
time interval during which the adhesive can be used after mixing
3.12
open time
maximum time interval after application at which tiles can be embedded in the applied adhesive and meet the
specified tensile adhesion strength requirement
3.13
slip
downward movement of a tile applied to a combed adhesive layer on a vertical surface
3.14
adjustability
maximum time interval after which the tile's position in the adhesive layer can be adjusted without significant
loss of adhesion strength
3.15
adhesion strength
maximum strength per unit surface area which can be measured by shear or tensile testing

3.16
deformability
capacity of a hardened adhesive to be deformed by stresses between the tile and the fixing surface without
damage to the installed surface
3.17
transverse deformation
deflection recorded at the centre when a beam of hardened adhesive is subjected to three point loading
3.18
fundamental characteristic
characteristic that is absolutely required of an adhesive
3.19
additional characteristic
characteristic of an adhesive for specific service conditions where enhanced levels of performance are
required
3.20
special characteristic
characteristic of an adhesive which provides further information about its general performance
4 Classification and designation
4.1 Tile adhesives are classified into three types (see 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5, and ISO 13006):
⎯ C cementitious adhesive
⎯ D dispersion adhesive
⎯ R reaction resin adhesive
For each typ
