Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).

ISO 22636:2020(E)
Introduction
When developing a new product, it is an important issue for the manufacturer of floor covering adhesives
to evaluate the suitability of a floor covering adhesive for use with one, or a group of floor coverings.
Manufacturers of floor coverings are also expected to assess whether a particular combination of an
adhesive with a group of floor coverings is capable of giving satisfactory performance in use.
Therefore, both parties need a common and accepted guideline for the requirements for testing
adhesives for floor coverings in combination with floor coverings to confirm the mechanical and
electrical performance of the system under laboratory conditions.
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 22636:2020(E)
Adhesives — Adhesives for floor coverings —
Requirements for mechanical and electrical performance
1 Scope
This document specifies characteristics for adhesives for floor coverings, which comprise:
— resilient floor coverings (such as those manufactured from plastics, linoleum or rubber);
— textile floor coverings.
Adhesives for floor coverings are intended for use within a building according to the manufacturer’s
specification.
This document specifies requirements for establishing performance characteristics of adhesives for
floor coverings with regard to their determination, evaluation and expression.
This document comprises all kinds of adhesives for floor coverings irrespective of the chemical
composition and the mechanism of setting. Products according to this document can be put on the
market as liquids, pastes and film adhesives for floor coverings. The products can be one-component or
multi-component.
This document also defines a special kind of adhesives for floor coverings, which facilitate the easy
removal of the floor covering after the utilization and where the need for a permanent bond is not
always required. These types of floor covering adhesives are referred to as low peel strength, release
bond adhesives.
This document does not:
— cover adhesives for bonding parquet to the subfloor, adhesives for bonding laminate floor coverings
and adhesives for ceramic tiles;
— make provisions for testing the bond strength of low peel strength, release bond adhesives for floor
coverings;
— take account of all influences which may occur in practice.
