Overview

This European Standard classifies thermosetting resin based wood adhesives for non-structural applications into durability classes C1 to C4 based on the dry and wet strengths of bond-lines measured under specified conditions after various conditioning treatments. The adhesives specified in this European Standard are suitable for the bonding of furniture and interior structures, panelling, doors, windows, stairs, etcetera made of wood or derived timber products. Compared with DIN EN 12765:2001-09, the designation "duroplastisch" has been changed to "duromer" and the references to tests with thick bond lines have been deleted. The evaluation is now based on 20 test pieces. Additional information regarding conditioning sequences has also been added. The 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") at DIN.
