UNE-EN 302-8:2017

This European Standard specifies a method of determining the ability of adhesive bonds to resist static load. It is applicable to adhesives used in load bearing timber structures.It is suitable for the following applications:a)for assessing the compliance of adhesives according to EN 301, EN 15425 and EN 16254;b)for assessing the suitability and quality of adhesives for load-bearing timber structures;c)for assessing the effect on the bond strength resulting from constant load at different climate conditions.This method is intended primarily to obtain performance data for the classification of adhesives for load bearing timber structures according to their suitability for use in defined climatic environments.This method is not intended to provide data for structural design, and does not necessarily represent the performance of the bonded member in service.
