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:
EN 301, Adhesives, phenolic and aminoplastic, for load-bearing timber structures — Classification and
performance requirements

— Part 1: Determination of longitudinal tensile shear strength
— Part 2: Determination of resistance to delamination
— 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

appropriate disposal of the wastes.
NOTE Local regulations can apply.
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 applicable for the following applications:
a) for assessing the compliance of adhesives according to EN 15425 and EN 16254;
b) 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.
