The force/extension diagram shall be recorded. 4.3.2.3 Tensile properties at maintained extension to EN ISO 8340:— test procedure at (- 30 ± 2) °C The test specimens shall be stored at ( « 30 ± 2) °C for at least 4 h before the start of the test. The spacers for the preparation of the test specimens shall be removed and the test specimens placed in the tensile test machine at (- 30 ± 2) °C and extended at a rate of (5,5 ± 0,7) mm/min by 60 % or 100 % of the original width (to 19,2 mm and 24 mm respectively). The separators shall be used to maintain the elongation at (- 30 ± 2) °C for 24 h. The test specimens shall be brought to (23 ± 2) °C. The depth of any loss of adhesion or cohesion shall be measured using a suitable measuring device capable of reading to 0,5 mm. Table 4 — Requirements to be suitable for use in cold climate areas

EN 15651-4:2017 (E) 12 Primer may be used if necessary. The use of primer shall be documented in the classification of the product. Test procedure at (23 ± 2) °C. After conditioning Method A or Method B, the test specimens shall be cut in the centre with a 6 mm broad knife blade or chisel blade through the complete thickness of the sealant (12 mm) (see Figure 1). Afterwards the specimen has to be extended to the double of the movement capability e.g. a sealant with 25 % movement capability shall be extended to 50 % (from 12 mm to 18 mm). An example of an extended sealant with cut is shown in Figure 2. After 24 h elongation, the test specimen will be examined and any tear propagation noted. The position of the cut can be taken from Figure 1. The sealant meets the requirement if the cut in the extended specimen does not exceed 12 mm in the length of the sealant.

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. In addition to the requirements given in Table 3, elastic non-structural for sealants in pedestrian walkways required to maintain performance in cold climates (- 30 °C) shall fulfil the requirements given in Table 4. kSIST FprEN 15651-4:2016
FprEN 15651-4:2016(E) 11 The classification of the sealant given in Table 3 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 Table 3 and 4. For example, Type PW Class 25LM CC. Mortar M1 or M2 according to ISO 13640 and/or other substrates shall be used. 4.3.2.2 Tensile properties - Secant modulus to EN ISO 8339:— test procedure at (- 30 ± 2) °C The test specimens shall be stored at (- 30 ± 2) °C for at least 4 h before the start of the test. The spacers for the preparation of the test specimens shall be removed and the test specimen placed in the tensile test machine and extended at (- 30 ± 2) °C at a rate of (5,5 ± 0,7) mm/min until rupture occurs. The force/extension diagram shall be recorded. 4.3.2.3 Tensile properties at maintained extension to EN ISO 8340:— test procedure at (- 30 ± 2) °C The test specimens shall be stored at ( « 30 ± 2) °C for at least 4 h before the start of the test. The spacers for the preparation of the test specimens shall be removed and the test specimens placed in the tensile test machine at (- 30 ± 2) °C and extended at a rate of (5,5 ± 0,7) mm/min by 60 % or 100 % of the original width (to 19,2 mm and 24 mm respectively). The separators shall be used to maintain the elongation at (- 30 ± 2) °C for 24 h. The test specimens shall be brought to (23 ± 2) °C. The depth of any loss of adhesion or cohesion shall be measured using a suitable measuring device capable of reading to 0,5 mm. Table 4 — Requirements to be suitable for use in cold climate areas

After conditioning Method A or Method B, the test specimens shall be cut in the centre with a 6 mm broad knife blade or chisel blade through the complete thickness of the sealant (12 mm) (see Figure 1). Afterwards the specimen has to be extended to the double of the movement capability e.g. a sealant with 25 % movement capability shall be extended to 50 % (from 12 mm to 18 mm). An example of an extended sealant with cut is shown in Figure 2. After 24 h elongation, the test specimen will be examined and any tear propagation noted. The position of the cut can be taken from Figure 1. The sealant meets the requirement if the cut in the extended specimen does not exceed 12 mm in the length of the sealant.

This standard is achieved when the change of the tensile strength value is not bigger than 20 % according to the test mentioned below after the exposure with artificial weathering. The tensile strength value at test elongation shall be calculated and the change shall be presented compared to untreated test specimen. The weathering test has to be performed according to EN ISO 11431. The positioning of the test specimen is shown in Figure 3. A contact material is used instead of glass concrete and also the direction of light exposure has to be changed to the surface of the sealant.
