Construction

Construction - Overview - Standards - Text

The study did not identify specific standards for the field of construction. However, some materials, such as, e.g., silicone rubber and nano-calcium carbonate as sealant, paints, and varnishes have been widely used in construction industry. The following four standards by ISO (1) and CEN (3) address these materials:

  • ISO (2018). ISO 18473-3. Functional pigments and extenders for special application — Part 3: Fumed silica for silicone rubber application. Available at: https://www.iso.org/standard/69454.html
  • ISO (2019). ISO 21683. Pigments and extenders — Determination of experimentally simulated nano-object release from paints, varnishes and pigmented plastics. Available at: https://www.iso.org/standard/71350.html 
  • CEN (2020). EN ISO 21683. Pigments and extenders — Determination of experimentally simulated nano-object release from paints, varnishes and pigmented plastics. Available at: https://www.iso.org/standard/71350.html 

All CEN published documents are homologues of ISO standards. Several ISO and CEN technical committees developed these standards:

  • ISO/TC 256 – Pigments, dyestuffs and extenders.
  • CEN/TC 298 – Pigments and extenders.
