The New 2017 version of the EN 15651-1-4 will not be approved for use in 2017 as it has been rejected by the EC Services and will not be cited in the OJEU (Official Journal of the European Union).
Members of the CEN TC349 will now be amending the 2017 version which will move straight to a new 2018 approved version.
As the only Notified Body Test Laboratory for Sealant Testing in the UK we will be continuing to test sealants to the 2012 version of the EN 15651 1-4 until the new 2018 version is approved.

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).
