BS EN 15416-3:2025

This standard BS EN 15416-3:2025 Adhesives for load bearing timber structures other than phenolic and aminoplastic. Test methods is classified in these ICS categories:

• 83.180 Adhesives

This document specifies a method for determining the creep deformation of bonded specimens loaded in bending shear. It is applicable to adhesives used in load bearing timber structures. It is applicable for assessing the compliance of adhesives to EN 15425 and EN 16254. 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 to provide data for structural design and does not necessarily represent the performance of the bonded member in service.
