European foreword
This document (prEN 12004-3:2021) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 67 “Ceramic
tiles”, the secretariat of which is held by UNI.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document with FprEN 12004-1:2021 will supersede EN 12004-1:2017.
In comparison with the previous edition, the following technical modifications have been made.
Splitting the former document into two parts:
— Part 1: Adhesives for ceramic tiles – Essential characteristics and AVCP;
— Part 3: Adhesives for ceramic tiles – Terminology, specifications, designations and marking.
The series of EN 12004 consists of the following parts, under the general title of Adhesives for
ceramic tiles:
— Part 1: Adhesives for ceramic tiles – Essential characteristics and AVCP
— Part 2: Adhesives for ceramic tiles – Test methods
— Part 3: Adhesives for ceramic tiles – Terminology, specifications, designations and marking

Introduction
It is essential that the characteristics of the construction products defined in this document consider that
the normal stresses due to the works for which they are intended, assembled or installed, can be properly
accommodated. Some special characteristics will take into account the type of substrate and that the
adhesives should resist the degrading actions of climate, etc.
Many properties of adhesives for tiling are mainly determined by the type of binders used. Different types
of tile adhesives are defined according to the chemical nature of their binders.
The different types of adhesives for ceramic tiles have specific characteristics in terms of their application
properties and final performance.
The relationship between characteristics and the working conditions (dry or humid conditions, hot
climate, fast setting, etc.) is not given in this document.
The manufacturer should give information about the use of the product and the correct conditions of use.
The specifier should evaluate the state of the job site (mechanical and thermal influences) and choose the
appropriate product considering all the possible risks.
