Adhesives - Wood adhesives for non-structural applications - Determination of tensile shear strength of lap joints

This European Standard specifies tests for adhesives for wood and derived timber products for the assessment of their resistance to hot and cold water. It can be used for the assessment of the strength of bonds with a thin bond-line. It does not apply to adhesives for structural use or to the manufacture of particleboards, fibreboards and plywood. It does not replace tests on finished products.

Klebstoffe - Holzklebstoffe für nicht tragende Anwendungen - Bestimmung der Klebfestigkeit von Längsklebungen im Zugversuch

Diese Europäische Norm legt Prüfungen für Klebstoffe für Holz und Holzprodukte im Hinblick auf ihre Beständigkeit gegen warmes und kaltes Wasser fest. Sie kann zur Beurteilung der Klebfestigkeit von Klebungen mit dünner Klebstofffuge verwendet werden. Sie gilt nicht für Klebstoffe für tragende Bauteile oder zur Herstellung von Spanplatten, Faserplatten und Sperrholz. Sie ersetzt keine Prüfungen für Fertigprodukte.

Adhésifs - Colles pour bois à usages non structuraux - Détermination de la résistance au cisaillement en traction des joints à recouvrement

La présente Norme européenne spécifie une méthode d'essai applicable aux colles pour bois et pour matériaux dérivés du bois, permettant d'évaluer leur résistance à l'eau chaude et à l’eau froide. La présente norme peut être utilisée pour évaluer la résistance à la rupture des joints présentant un joint de colle mince. Elle ne s'applique pas aux adhésifs destinés à des usages structuraux ni à la fabrication des panneaux de particules, des panneaux de fibres et des contreplaqués, et ne remplace pas les essais sur des produits finis.

Lepila - Lepila za les za nekonstrukcijsko uporabo - Ugotavljanje natezno-strižne trdnosti spojev s preklopom

Ta evropski standard določa preskuse za lepila za les in lesne proizvode za oceno njihove odpornosti na vročo ali mrzlo vodo. Uporablja se lahko za oceno trdnosti vezav s tanko vezno linijo.  Ne uporablja se za lepila za uporabo pri konstrukcijah ali proizvodnjo ivernih plošč, vlaknenih plošč in vezanih plošč. Ne nadomešča preskusov končnih proizvodov.

Overview

EN 205:2016 - "Adhesives - Wood adhesives for non‑structural applications - Determination of tensile shear strength of lap joints" is a CEN test method for evaluating the tensile shear performance of wood adhesives in thin bond‑lines and their resistance to hot and cold water. It is intended for non‑structural wood adhesives and derived timber products and does not apply to adhesives for structural use or to the manufacture of particleboard, fibreboard or plywood. EN 205:2016 supersedes EN 205:2003 and supports classification into EN 204 (thermoplastic) and EN 12765 (thermosetting) durability classes.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Purpose: Assess tensile shear strength of single lap joints with a nominal thin bond‑line (≈0.1 mm) and to support durability classification (D1–D4, C1–C4).
  • Test specimen and materials:
    • Panels: beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), nominal density (700 ± 50) kg/m3, moisture (12 ± 1) %, thickness (5.0 ± 0.1) mm.
    • Test piece dimensions: total length l1 = (150 ± 5) mm; width b = (20.0 ± 0.2) mm; overlap l2 = (10.0 ± 0.2) mm. Saw cut width ≈ (2.5 ± 0.5) mm.
  • Preparation and processing (if no manufacturer instructions):
    • Adhesive applied to both surfaces, spread (150 ± 10) g/m2.
    • Open assembly time (120 ± 10) s; closed assembly time (180 ± 10) s.
    • Pressing pressure (0.7 ± 0.1) N/mm2; pressing time 2 h.
  • Conditioning and number of tests:
    • Condition assemblies in standard atmosphere (20/65 or 23/50) for ≥7 days after pressing; cut no earlier than 5 days after bonding.
    • Test 20 test pieces per conditioning sequence.
  • Tensile shear test:
    • Use constant‑rate‑of‑traverse machine per ISO 5893 (or equivalent constant‑rate‑of‑loading if specified rupture times are met).
    • Rate of traverse: ~50 mm/min for thermoplastic adhesives; 6–12 mm/min for thermosetting adhesives.
  • Result calculation:
    • Shear strength τ (N/mm2) calculated as τ = (2 × Fmax) / (l2 × b), reported to 0.1 N/mm2. Report all 20 results, valid or invalid, with wood‑failure percentage and test details.

Applications and users

  • Who uses EN 205:2016:
    • Adhesive manufacturers for product development and durability classification.
    • Independent testing laboratories and certification bodies.
    • Wood product manufacturers and R&D teams validating adhesive performance for non‑structural applications (furniture, interior fittings, joinery).
  • Practical value:
    • Enables consistent comparison of bond strength and water resistance.
    • Supports conformity assessment to EN 204 / EN 12765 durability classes.
    • Provides reproducible specimen preparation, conditioning and reporting requirements for regulatory, procurement and quality control purposes.
