4.3.2 Sealants for glazing elements in cold climates 4.3.2.1 General This test has been developed to demonstrate that glazing sealants perform well at lower temperatures than those currently tested in EN ISO 11600 (i.e. common winter temperatures in Northern Europe). The specification 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 2, non-structural sealants for glazing elements required to maintain performance in cold climate (- 30 °C) shall fulfil also requirements as given in Table 3.
The classification of the sealant given in Table 2 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 2. For example, Type G Class 25LM CC. SIST EN 15651-2:2013

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.

4.3.3 Resistance to flow The resistance to flow shall be measured according to EN ISO 7390, with the precise test method modified according to the following details. A vertical, anodised aluminium U-profile shall be used with dimensions 20 mm x 10 mm. Testing shall be carried out under two temperature conditions: a) temperature of (50 ± 2) °C and relative humidity of (50 ± 10) %; b) temperature of (5 ± 2) °C. If the flow exceeds the required value, then the test may be repeated once. 4.3.4 Resistance to water and UV Evaluation according to EN ISO 11431 using only fully automated equipment. The specific conditions of the test following EN ISO 11431 will require fully automated equipment with immersion of the test specimen in demineralised water. The UV lamp will be switched off during the water immersion.

EN 15651-2:2012 10 4.4 Release of dangerous substances Materials used in products shall not release any dangerous substances in excess of the maximum permitted levels specified in a relevant European Standard for the material or permitted in the national regulations of the member state of destination. NOTE In the absence of specific requirements relating to substances dangerous to health, hygiene and the environment in this document, see Annex ZA. 4.5 Reaction to fire 4.5.1 General Products shall be classified in accordance with EN 13501-1. The appropriate reaction to fire class shall be declared. 4.5.2 Mounting and fixing conditions for test samples Mounting and fixing conditions for the test samples of the reaction to fire performance shall be as follows for the following reaction to fire classes: a) Class A2, B, C or D Design of specimen: 1) substrate: calcium silicate panel b) Class E
Design of specimen: 1) substrate: beech wood, mean bulk density about 720 kg/m³, or calcium silicate panel according to EN 13238; 2) joint dimension: 20 mm x 10 mm x 250 mm (width x depth x length), see Figure 1; 3) conditioning: 28 days at 23 ± 2 °C and 50 ± 5 % relative humidity (according to EN 13238); 4) number of specimens: 6 (according to EN ISO 11925-2); 5) fire test: impingement of flame in centre to the bottom edge (according to EN 11925-2). The substrates are not standard-substrates according to EN 13238. They serve only to prepare a standardized sample according to EN ISO 11925-2. Furthermore, the defined joint dimension is not a classification parameter with respect to the dimension of the tested product. If the product meets the test requirements, it should be classified independently from its dimensions. SIST EN 15651-2:2013

EN 15651-2:2012 12 5 Durability The durability of a sealed joint is only as good as both the adhesion of the sealant (and primer) to the surfaces forming the joint and the cohesive stability of the sealant itself. It is important that the sealant has sufficient adhesion and cohesion to survive the mechanical and environmental stresses to which the sealed joint is likely to be exposed. These characteristics shall be evaluated: without any ageing, according for example to EN ISO 8339, EN ISO 8340, after ageing, according for example to EN ISO 9046, EN ISO 9047, EN ISO 10590, EN ISO 10591 depending on the class of sealants given in Table 2. The sealant performance is determined by classification to Table 2 and this classification will indicate suitable durability of the sealant after ageing. Long-term durability of joints based on such sealants is obtained when they are selected and applied according to the sealant data sheets, taking into account the expected service conditions on site. Sealants are easy to use, ready to use and easy to remove when any unavoidable or unexpected degradation arises. 6 Sampling General requirements for sampling of the sealant shall be as set out in EN 15651-5. 7 Evaluation of conformity 7.1 General The Factory Production Control (FPC) will be defined by each sealant manufacturer in order to show compliance to the level of performance indicated in the initial type testing (ITT). 7.2 Initial type testing General requirements for the initial type testing of the sealants shall be as set out in EN 15651-5. 7.3 Factory production control Requirements for the initial type testing of the sealant shall be in accordance with EN 15651-5. An example of suitable frequency of identification and performance tests for FPC is given in Annex A. Frequencies may be increased during initial production or following an incident of non-conformity. Any deviation from this guidance shall be justified by documented evidence that demonstrates equivalence. 8 Marking and labelling Requirements for marking and labelling are set out in EN 15651-5.
