BS EN 17618:2021

This standard BS EN 17618:2021 Adhesives. Wood-to-wood adhesive bonds for non-structural applications. Determination of shear strength by compressive loading is classified in these ICS categories:

• 83.180 Adhesives

This document specifies a method for adhesives for wood and derived solid wood products for determining the shear strength and wood failure percentage of wood-to-wood adhesive bonds loaded in compression. These parameters allow to define different working properties of adhesives (e.g. final bond strength, pressing time, closed assembly time). Annex A gives information required prior to testing.
