Standards Development
This document establishes a classification for phenolic and aminoplastic polycondensation adhesives according to their suitability for use for loadbearing timber products in defined climatic exposure conditions, and specifies performance requirements for such adhesives for the factory manufacture or factorylike manufacturing conditions of loadbearing timber products only.
This document only specifies the performance of an adhesive for use in an environment corresponding to the defined conditions.
The performance requirements of this document are applicable to the adhesive only, not to the manufacturing timber products. This document does not cover the performance of adhesives for onsite gluing (except for factorylike conditions) or the production of woodbased panels, except solid wood panels, or modified and stabilized wood with considerably reduced swelling and shrinkage properties, e.g. acetylated wood, heat treated wood and polymer impregnated wood. This document is primarily intended for use by adhesive manufacturers and for use in timber products bonded with adhesives, to assess or control the quality of adhesives. The requirements are applicable to the type testing of the adhesives. Production control activities are outside the scope of this document.
Adhesives meeting the requirements of this document are adequate for use in loadbearing timber products, provided that the bonding process has been carried out according to an appropriate product standard.
