What is BS EN 15651-5 – AVCP, marking and labelling of sealants about?
BS EN 15651 is a series of the European standards on sealants for joints in building construction that discusses AVCP, marking and labelling of sealants.
BS EN 15651-5 is the fifth part of the BS EN 15651 series of documents that specifies procedures for assessment and verification of constancy of performance, marking and labelling of sealants for non-structural joints in building construction and pedestrian walkways.
Who is BS EN 15651-5 - AVCP, marking and labelling of sealants for?
BS EN 15651-5 on sealants is relevant to:
- Builders
- Contractors
- Civil engineers
- Manufacturers of sealants
- Manufacturers of windows and doors
- Quality control systems
Why should you use BS EN 15651-5 - AVCP, marking and labelling of sealants?
The performance test is the test carried out to verify a value for a required property of the product in terms of its specified performance during application and use.
BS EN 15651-5 provides the sampling and record that can be clearly labelled to uniquely identify the source, location and time of sampling.
BS EN 15651-5 provides AVCP with the compliance of sealants for non-structural use in joints in buildings and pedestrian walkways with the requirements and the performances of type testing and factory production control.
All weighing, measuring and testing equipment is calibrated and regularly inspected according to BS EN 15651-5 documented procedures, frequencies and criteria.
Marking and labelling of sealants for non-structural joints in building construction and pedestrian walkways are specified in BS EN 15651-5.
Overall, BS EN 15651-5 leads you through the right application of a sealant with the proper physical and chemical qualities as well as the process of designing, evaluating, and producing packages and labels. As with adhesives, the substrates to be sealed, joint design, performance expectations, manufacturing needs, and economic expenses must all be addressed.
