Where this standard is used on NirmanDost
Listed by product makers
3 products in the NirmanDost catalogue name this standard on their spec sheets — M 15 Thin bed adhesive for AAC blocks, Polymer Modified Adhesive, AAC Block Adhesive. That is the maker’s own claim, copied as printed; we have not tested these products against the standard, and a spec sheet can cite the wrong code.
