The BS EN 15651 1-5:2017 and BS EN 12004 1-2:2017 are currently being updated, and we await confirmation of their approval in the OJEU (Official Journal of the European Union). There are minor changes and improvements in these specifications which ensure procedures are clearer and diminish any ambiguity over performance requirements. We are certainly ready at 4Ward Testing to carry our any testing to the new specifications and have developed a new testing rig which gives us larger testing capacity with increased accuracy of amplitude and elongation measurements.
With a European sealants and adhesives market worth an estimated value of £8.5 billion in 2014 compliance to the full range of standards of hEN 15651 by July 2014 has to be the highest priority for sealant manufacturers.
