prEN 15416-1

Adhesives for load bearing timber structures other than phenolic and aminoplastic- Test methods - Part 1: Static load test of single bondline specimens in compression shear prEN 15416-1

Scope

This part of WG4 prEN 02 Adhesives for load bearing timber structures - Test methods specifies a method of determining the ability of adhesive bonds to resist static load. It is applicable to adhesives used in load-bearing timber structures.It is suitable for the following applications:a) for assessing the compliance of adhesives to WG4 prEN 01 Adhesives, One component polyurethane, for load bearing structures - classification and performance requirements;b) for assessing the suitability and quality of adhesives for load-bearing timber structures.This test is intended primarily to obtain performance data for the classification of adhesives for load bearing timber structures according to their suitability for use in defined climatic environments. This method is not intended for use to provide numerical design data and does not necessarily represent the performance of the bonded member in service. It is not applicable to assessment of the suitability of adhesives for the manufacture of wood-based panels.
