General Information
Frequently Asked Questions
CEN/TC 193/SC 1/WG 13 is a Subcommittee within the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). It is named "Fire behaviour" and is responsible for: Development of test methods for performance of wood adhesives in load bearing timber structures at high temperatures and fire. Classification of adhesive performance at high temperatures and/or fire and its use in building products e. g. glulam, CLT, finger-joints. This committee has published 2 standards.
CEN/TC 193/SC 1/WG 13 develops CEN standards in the area of Information technology. The scope of work includes: Development of test methods for performance of wood adhesives in load bearing timber structures at high temperatures and fire. Classification of adhesive performance at high temperatures and/or fire and its use in building products e. g. glulam, CLT, finger-joints. Currently, there are 2 published standards from this subcommittee.
The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a public standards organization that brings together the national standardization bodies of 34 European countries. CEN provides a platform for developing European Standards (ENs) and other technical documents in relation to various products, materials, services, and processes, supporting the European Single Market.
A Subcommittee (SC) in CEN operates under a Technical Committee and focuses on a specific subset of the TC's scope. Subcommittees develop standards and technical specifications in their specialized area, reporting to their parent Technical Committee. They may also have working groups for detailed technical work.
This document specifies a test method for comparing the compression shear strength of adhesive bonds in wood and solid wood after exposure to a target temperature for a specified duration of time.
This document is applicable to adhesives used in load bearing timber structures.
This document is not applicable to Epoxy- and two component Polyurethane-adhesives.
This method is intended to obtain data for the performance of wood adhesives at very high temperatures. The result of this comparison can be used to classify the adhesive with regard to the behaviour of load-bearing timber structures in fire.

This document specifies a test method for determining the comparative compression shear strength of adhesive bonds and solid wood at both ambient temperature and elevated temperature. The maximum load of the test pieces at ambient temperature and after exposure to a specific elevated temperature for a specified duration of time is evaluated. It is applicable to adhesives used in load bearing timber structures and to other wood adhesives.
This method is intended primarily to obtain performance data for the influence of elevated temperatures on the behaviour of adhesive bonds.
This method is not intended to provide data for structural design, and does not necessarily represent the performance of the bonded element in service.
