scope:

This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the tensile adhesion strength of cementitious ceramic tile adhesives. This European Standard is applicable to all cementitious adhesives and cementitious adhesives with separate components for internal and external ceramic tile installations on walls and floors. This European Standard does not contain performance requirements or recommendations for the design and installation of ceramic tiles. NOTE: Ceramic tile adhesives can be used also for other kinds of tiles (natural and agglomerated stones etc.), if they do not adversely affect the stones.
