This European Standard specifies definitions and requirements for sealants used for sealing of joints applied in sanitary areas in the interior of buildings exposed to non-pressurised water. It covers joints in: - bathrooms; - toilets; - showers; - domestic kitchens. Industrial, drinking water, underwater (swimming pools, sewage systems, etcetera) and food contact applications are excluded from the scope of this standard. This European Standard does not specify criteria or recommendations for the design of joints and installation of sealants in sanitary applications. Specifications on evaluation of conformity (that is, Initial Type Testing and Factory Production Control) and marking of these products are given in EN 15651-5. This European Standard does not apply to non-structural, non-plastic (any of non-paste form) sealants used in sanitary areas.
