Full title and description
DIN 18541-1:2021-01 — Thermoplastic waterstops for sealing joints in concrete - Part 1: Terms and definitions, shapes, dimensions, marking. (German title: Fugenbänder aus thermoplastischen Kunststoffen zur Abdichtung von Fugen in Beton - Teil 1: Begriffe, Formen, Maße, Kennzeichnung.)
Abstract
This part of DIN 18541 specifies terminology, product shapes, dimensional requirements and marking for thermoplastic waterstops used to seal complete or partial joints in concrete. It establishes the definitions and geometric/marking conventions necessary for consistent specification, manufacture and identification of thermoplastic joint-sealing profiles.

Scope
The standard applies to thermoplastic waterstops intended for sealing joints in concrete structures (both complete and partial joints). Part 1 is limited to definitions, standard shapes, dimensional tolerances and marking/identification requirements; it does not set out material performance test methods or factory production control (those subjects are covered in subsequent parts of the series).
Key topics and requirements
- Standardized terminology for thermoplastic waterstops and joint types.
- Illustrated shapes and standardized profile types for common joint-sealing applications.
- Dimensional specifications and tolerances for profiles to ensure interchangeability and fit in cast concrete joints.
- Marking and identification rules for product traceability (e.g., manufacturer, material type, profile designation).
- Clarification of the Part‑1 scope versus Parts 2 and 3 (material requirements/testing and factory production control).
Typical use and users
Used by specification authors, structural and civil engineers, manufacturers of thermoplastic waterstops, construction contractors, precast concrete producers and building inspectors. The standard is referenced in product datasheets, technical specifications for concrete construction joints and procurement documents to ensure consistent selection and identification of sealing profiles.
Related standards
