EN 12004:2007 (E) 3 Foreword This document (EN 12004:2007) 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of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by February 2008, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by May 2009. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s). For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. This document supersedes EN 12004:2001. 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 United Kingdom.

EN 12004:2007 (E) 4 Introduction It is essential that the characteristics of the construction products defined in this standard 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 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 standard. 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. SIST EN 12004:2007

EN 12004:2007 (E) 7 3.3.2 application to one surface only, Notched trowel or Floating method adhesive applied only to the fixing surface, usually with a trowel to obtain a uniform layer and then combed with a notched trowel
NOTE The tiles are then fixed before a film forms on the surface of the adhesive 3.3.3 application to both surfaces, Floating and buttering method adhesive applied to the fixing surface and to the reverse of the tiles NOTE The combined layer of adhesive should not exceed the maximum recommended thickness.

EN 12004:2007 (E) 12 5 Evaluation of conformity 5.1 Principle The scheme for the evaluation of conformity includes the following tasks:  initial tests,  Factory Production Control (FPC),  registration and traceability. Manufacturers having a Quality System complying with EN ISO 9001, and made specific to the requirements of this standard, are assumed to meet the requirements related to Factory Production Control. 5.2 Conditioning of the test specimen When the test specimen has to be conditioned following the test method, the tolerance in the time of conditioning for all test specimens shall be as follows: Conditioning

Tests which have previously been performed in accordance with the provisions of this standard (same product, same characteristic, test method, sampling procedure, etc.) may be taken into account for the purpose of demonstrating satisfactory initial type testing. Initial type tests shall also be carried out on existing products after any change in raw materials or manufacturing procedures that can modify the declared values of the characteristics or application properties. In these cases the appropriate initial type testing to be carried out are those for the characteristics and properties that can be affected and need confirmation; any new property or properties arising from a change of formulation or manufacturing procedure shall be tested and the results reported. The initial type testing shall be performed as listed in Table 4. The results of initial type testing shall be recorded and be available for inspection. They shall be kept for at least 10 years after the date of last manufacture of the products to which they relate. 5.4 Factory Production Control 5.4.1 General A Factory Production Control (FPC) plan shall be established and documented in a manual. Any change in raw materials, manufacturing procedures or control plan that can affect the properties of the product shall be recorded. The manual shall include the FPC procedures relevant to the declared properties, as confirmed by the initial tests. SIST EN 12004:2007



EN 12004:2007 (E) 13 The FPC procedures shall consist of a system for the production quality control to ensure that the product conforms with this standard. The production control shall consist of the following main phases: 1) inspection and testing of raw materials, 2) inspection and testing of production equipment and process, 3) inspection and testing on finished products. 5.4.2 Production 5.4.2.1 Raw materials The manufacturer shall define the acceptance criteria and control procedures for incoming materials to ensure that these are not used until it has been verified that they conform to the required specifications. 5.4.2.2 Production process The manufacturer shall identify and define the plant and production processes and ensure that the processes are carried out under controlled conditions clearly described in procedures. The processes are verified by means of inspections and testing documented in a plan, as frequency and values or criteria required both on equipment and on operations in the process. The action to be taken when control values or criteria are not obtained shall be given. 5.4.3 Finished products The number and size of the samples, the frequency of sampling, the tests performed and the results obtained, shall be recorded. The tests shall be performed at least with the frequency specified in Table 4. These records shall be available for inspection by relevant parties. For the purposes of Factory Production Control, alternative tests to those given in Table 4 may be used, provided that a correlation of the results between both tests, for the product in question, is established. The use of alternative tests shall be recorded, maintained and be made available on request from a relevant party. 5.4.4 Equipment All the measuring instruments used for production or testing shall be identified, calibrated and kept in good order, in accordance with documented procedures and instructions. The manufacturer shall establish an appropriate plan detailing the procedures and frequency of these checks and shall maintain the registrations. Test equipment shall be calibrated to traceable standards. 5.4.5 Statistical techniques Where and when possible and applicable, the results of inspections and testing shall be interpreted by means of statistical techniques, by attributes or by variables, to verify the product characteristics and to determine if the production conforms with the compliance criteria and the product conforms with the declared values in particular when there is a significant number of results.
