Adhesives for floor coverings - Preparation of adhesive application - Test methods for the determination of corresponding humidity of mineral substrates
This document specifies test methods for assessment of the moisture conditions of any kind of subfloor prior to the installation of levelling compounds and/or floor coverings or parquet floors bonded with adhesives. The methods are independent from subfloor chemical composition or materials and applicable with available equipment.
For some highly reactive cement based compositions (e.g. ternary systems) the manufacturer might recommend a specific time when the subfloor is ready to be covered.
This document describes the methods in detail and includes a protocol template for documenting the measured values.
Klebstoffe für Bodenbeläge - Vorbereitung der Klebstoffanwendung - Prüfverfahren zur Bestimmung der korrespondierenden Luftfeuchte von mineralischen Untergründen
Dieses Dokument legt Prüfverfahren zur Beurteilung des Feuchtezustands jeglicher Art von Unterböden vor dem Auftrag von Bodenspachtelmassen und/oder Bodenbelägen oder Parkettböden, die mit Klebstoffen geklebt werden, fest. Die Prüfverfahren sind unabhängig von der chemischen Zusammensetzung des Unterbodens, werkstoffunabhängig und mit handelsüblichen Geräten anwendbar.
Bei einigen hochreaktiven zementbasierten Systemen (z. B. ternären Systemen) kann der Hersteller eine bestimmte Zeit empfehlen, wann der Unterboden zur Belegung bereit ist.
Dieses Dokument beschreibt die Verfahren im Detail und enthält eine Vorlage für ein Berichtsblatt zur Dokumentation der gemessenen Werte.
Adhésifs pour revêtements de sol - Préparation de l’application d'adhésif - Méthodes d’essai pour la détermination de la teneur en humidité relative d'équilibre dans les supports minéraux
Le présent document spécifie des méthodes d’essai pour évaluer les conditions d’humidité de tout type de chape avant l’installation de composés de nivellement et/ou de revêtements de sol ou de parquets fixés à l’aide d’adhésifs. Les méthodes sont indépendantes de la composition chimique ou des matériaux de la chape et sont applicables avec l’équipement disponible.
Pour certaines compositions à base de ciment hautement réactif (systèmes ternaires par exemple), le fabricant peut recommander une durée spécifique avant recouvrement de la chape.
Le présent document décrit les méthodes en détail et comprend un modèle de protocole à suivre pour documenter les valeurs mesurées.
Lepila za talne obloge - Priprava za nanašanje lepila - Preskusna metoda za ugotavljanje ustrezne vlažnosti mineralnih podlag
Ta dokument določa preskusne metode za ugotavljanje pogojev vlažnosti različnih podlag pred nanosom izravnalnih mas in/ali talnih oblog ali parketov, lepljenih z lepili. Metode so neodvisne od kemične sestave podlage ali materialov in se uporabljajo z razpoložljivo opremo.
Za nekatere visoko reaktivne sestave na osnovi cementa (npr. trislojni sistemi) lahko proizvajalec priporoči določen čas, po katerem je podlaga pripravljena za prekrivanje.
Ta dokument podrobno opisuje metode in vključuje predlogo protokola za dokumentiranje izmerjenih vrednosti.

Introduction
This document describes test methods for measuring humidity in, at or from a mineral substrate. Using
these test methods will assist a floor layer in determining whether a floor is suitable to accept a levelling
compound and/or an adhesive and a floor covering. High humidity can lead to the decomposition of
moisture-sensitive levelling compounds and/or the decomposition or disruption and subsequent
weakening of flooring adhesives used for installation. This results in a complete failure of the construction
or in a reduction in adhesive strength and a negative impact on indoor air quality due to increased overall
VOC emissions and bad odour. Using these test methods, a floor layer will be able to decide on the time
at which the levelling compound and/or adhesive can be applied in order to help to avoid potential,
humidity related problems. They provide data to determine whether the load-bearing, mineral substrate
is ready for covering.
This document supplements the national standards already described for determining the moisture
conditions of mineral substrates.
The material independent information regarding the moisture activity is one of the advantages of these
measurement methods. They provide reliable data to help to establish the readiness for installation,
especially for mineral substrates containing additives.
SAFETY WARNING — Persons using this document should be familiar with normal practice. The
document cannot address all safety problems that can be associated with its application. It is the
responsibility of the user to define measures for health and safety at work and ensure that these
correspond with the European and national regulations.

Introduction
This document describes test methods for measuring humidity in a subfloor. Using these test methods
will assist a floor layer in determining whether a floor is suitable to accept a levelling compound and/or
an adhesive and a floor covering. High levels of humidity may lead to the (disruption of moisture sensitive
levelling compounds or) breakdown and subsequent weakening of the adhesives used for the installation
of the floor covering. The result is a reduction in adhesive strength and a negative impact on indoor air
quality due to increased overall VOC emissions and bad odour. Using these test methods, a floor layer will
be able to decide on the time at which the levelling compound and/or adhesive can be applied in order
to help to avoid potential, moisture related problems. As stated in the scope, the test method will be
independent of the subfloor material, not measuring a subfloor characteristic, but a subfloor condition.
This document supplements the national standards already described for determining the moisture
conditions of concrete floors.
The material independent information regarding the moisture state is one of the outstanding advantages
of these measurement methods. They provide highly reliable data to help to establish the readiness for
installation, especially for screeds containing additives.
SAFETY WARNING — Persons using this document should be familiar with normal laboratory practice.
The document cannot address all safety problems that may be associated with its application. It is the
responsibility of the user to define measures for health and safety at work and ensure that these
correspond with the European and national regulations.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION NOTE — The materials approved in this document can have negative
effects on the environment. As soon as technological progress leads to better alternatives to these
materials, they can be removed from the document as far as possible. At the end of the test, the user
should ensure a suitable disposal of the waste corresponding to the regional conditions.

Measurement accuracy is normally lower than accuracy of sensor due to the measurement error sources

NOTE Comparing commercially available hygrometers, significant differences were found in the following
parameters:
— accuracy after 30 min;
— accuracy after 60 min;
— drift over a period of 5 weeks;
— suitability for building sites, i.e. measuring accuracy after intensive dusting with cement.
The instrument manufacturer should define the required values for reliable measurement.
4.2 Insulated impermeable box, which can be sealed to the floor surface to create an enclosed pocket
of air which is isolated from fluctuations in humidity and temperature from outside air (examples of
suitable equipment are shown in Figure 1).
It is essential that the insulated box is sealed to the floor using a preformed butyl sealant tape (4.3) and
that readings can be taken while the apparatus is in position on the floor without breaking the seal and
releasing the trapped pocket of air.
Other forms of apparatus may be suitable but the width of the quadratic area should not be less than
150 mm and it is essential that the principles of thermal insulation and vapour barrier are followed, so
that an insulated vapour-proof space is created.
Suitable vapour barrier materials are sheet metal, glass, 2 mm thick clear acrylic sheet, or 2 mm thick
