European foreword
This document (prEN 15416-1:2024) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 193
“Adhesives”, the secretariat of which is held by UNE.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 15416-1:2017.
This document is intended to harmonize the provisions in EN 14080:2013, B.2, EN 15497:2014 and
EN 16254:2023, Annex B and EN 16351.
It differs with respect to the following:
a) consistent specification of the test method for the determination of the long-term performance at
varying climate conditions in one standard;
b) reference to EN 16254 for EPI adhesives added in the scope;
c) Figure 1 and Figure 2 for connection device added;
d) alternative cutting scheme of the components of the test sticks presented in Figure 4.
This document includes the following significant technical changes with respect to EN 15416-1:2017:
a) dated reference to EN 302-3 changed to an undated reference;
b) terms and definitions added as Clause 3;
c) glue line thickness for different application areas in 6.1 described in more detail;
d) use of spacers with different thickness for preparation of test sticks added in 6.3;
e) editorial changes.
Introduction
This document is one of a series dealing with adhesives for use with timber structures, and is published
in support of the EN 1995 series, Eurocode 5: Design of timber structures. The series consists of five
classification and performance requirements for adhesives for load-bearing timber structures, phenolic
and aminoplastic adhesives (EN 301), one component polyurethane adhesives (EN 15425), emulsion
polymer isocyanate adhesives (EN 16254), two component epoxy and polyurethane adhesives for glued
in rods (EN 17334) and for on-site repair of cracked timber structures (EN 17418) and all together twelve
test methods (EN 302-1, EN 302-2, EN 302-3, EN 302-4, EN 302-5, EN 302-6, EN 302-7 and EN 302-8 and
EN 15416-1, EN 15416-3, EN 15416-4 and EN 15416-5).
These European standards have the following titles:

performance requirements

— Part 3: Determination of the effect of acid damage to wood fibres by temperature and humidity cycling
on the transverse tensile strength
— Part 4: Determination of the effects of wood shrinkage on the shear strength

Safety statement
Persons using this document should be familiar with the normal laboratory practice, if applicable. This
document cannot address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to ensure compliance with any
regulatory conditions.
Environmental statement
It is understood that some of the material permitted in this document can have negative environmental
impact. As technological advantages lead to better alternatives for these materials, they will be eliminated
from this document to the extent possible.
At the end of the test, it is recommended that the user of this document take care to carry out an
appropriate disposal of the wastes, according to local regulation.

1 Scope
This document specifies a method of determining the ability of adhesive bonds to resist long-term
sustained load applied vertical to the glue lines. 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 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 long-term sustained load at cyclic 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.
