Scope according to EN 205 (Chapter 1):
This European Standard specifies tests for adhesives for wood and derived timber products for the assessment of their resistance to hot and cold water. It can be used for the assessment of the strength of bonds with a thin bond-line. It does not apply to adhesives for structural use or to the manufacture of particleboards, fibreboards and plywood. It does not replace tests on finished products.
Requirements according to EN 205 (Chapter 5 and 7):
- Safety
- Preparation of bonded assemblies
- Preparation of test pieces
- Treatment prior to tensile shear testing
- Tensile shear test
