Provides product terminology, work methods and application properties for ceramic tile grouts.

This Standard specifies the values of performance requirements for all ceramic tile grouts, i.e., cementitious grouts (CG) and reaction resin grouts (RG) for internal and external tile installations on walls and floors. It also provides the terminology concerning products, working methods and application properties, etc., for ceramic tile grouts. Ceramic tile grouts may also be used for other types of tiles (natural and agglomerated stones, etc.), where these do not adversely affect the materials.This Standard does not contain criteria or recommendations for the design and installation of ceramic tiles.
