EN 13888:2009 (E) 3 Foreword This document (EN 13888:2009) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 67 “Ceramic tiles”, the secretariat of which is held by UNI. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by November 2009, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by November 2009. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 13888:2002 The main changes from the 2002 version are: the change in the requirements for flexural strength for cementitious grouts; the modification of Table 4 “Production Control Frequency”; the modification of Table 5 “Classification and designation”. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

EN 13888:2009 (E) 4 Introduction The characteristics of the construction products defined in this European Standard have to 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 grouts should resist the degrading actions of climate, environment, etc. Many properties of grouts for tiles are mainly determined by the type of binders used. Tile grouts are defined in different types depending on the chemical nature of their binders. The different types have specific characteristics in terms of 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 standard. The manufacturer gives information about the use of the product and the correct conditions of use. The specifier evaluates the state of the job site (mechanical, thermal and chemical influences) and chooses the appropriate product considering all the possible risks. SIST EN 13888:2009

Introduction
The characteristics of the construction products defined in this European Standard have to 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 grouts
should resist the degrading actions of climate, environment, etc.
Many properties of grouts for tiles are mainly determined by the type of binders used.
Tile grouts are defined in different types depending on the chemical nature of their binders.
The different types have specific characteristics in terms of 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 standard.
The manufacturer gives information about the use of the product and the correct conditions of use.
The specifier evaluates the state of the job site (mechanical, thermal and chemical influences) and chooses
the appropriate product considering all the possible risks.
