Adhesives for load bearing timber structures other than phenolic and aminoplastic - Test methods - Part 1: Long-term tension load test perpendicular to the bond line at varying climate conditions with specimens perpendicular to the glue line (Glass house test); German version EN 15416-1:2017
Klebstoffe für tragende Holzbauteile ausgenommen Phenolharzklebstoffe und Aminoplaste - Prüfverfahren - Teil 1: Langzeit-Zugprüfung senkrecht zur Klebfuge bei verschiedenen Klimabedingungen mit Prüfkörpern senkrecht zur Klebstofffuge (Glashaus-Prüfung); Deutsche Fassung EN 15416-1:2017
Overview
This European Standard specifies a method of determining the ability of adhesive bonds to resist long-term sustained load applied vertical to the glue lines. The method is used to test and assess the suitability of PUR adhesives in accordance with EN 15425 and EPI adhesives in accordance with EN 16254 for load-bearing timber components. Bonded test pieces are subjected to long-term sustained load applied vertical to the glue lines at cyclic climate conditions. The test climate is at natural outdoor conditions in Europe between latitude 45° and 60°. The loaded samples are protected with light penetrable covering (“Glass house”). The DIN committee responsible for this standard is NA 042-04-05 AA "Spiegelausschuss zu CEN/TC 193/SC 1 Holzklebung" ("Mirror committee for CEN/TC 193/SC 1 Wood adhesives").
