This document specifies a test method for comparing the compression shear strength of adhesive bonds and solid wood at 180 °C and a second elevated temperature. The maximum load of the test pieces after exposure to 180 °C and 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 data for the performance of wood adhesives at high temperatures. The result of this method (temperature class) can be used to classify the adhesive with respect to its performance in fire.

This document specifies a series of methods for the determination of peel adhesion properties of self adhesives tapes. This document contains: — Method 1: Self adhesive tapes ? Measurement of peel adhesion from stainless steel at an angle of 180°; — Method 2: Self adhesive tapes ? Measurement of peel adhesion from its own backing at an angle of 180°; — Method 3: Self adhesive tapes ? Measurement of peel adhesion of double sided and transfer tapes at an angle 180°; — Method 4: Self adhesive tapes ? Measurement of adhesion of the liner to an adhesive tape at an angle of 180°. Annexes A and B specify further variations in the testing protocol according to specific conditions.
