This document establishes a classification for phenolic and aminoplastic polycondensation adhesives classified according to EN 301, one component polyurethane adhesives classified according to EN 15425 and emulsion polymer isocyanate adhesives classified according to EN 16254, according to their suitability for use for load-bearing timber structures made of selected hardwood species (group A) in defined climatic exposure conditions; it specifies performance requirements for such adhesives for the factory manufacture or factory-like manufacturing conditions of load-bearing timber structures made of selected hardwood species only, with no specific high shear strength classification.

NOTE An adhesive with high shear strength classification is needed when the declared characteristic shear strength of the glued laminated product is above 3,5 N/mm2, which is the declared characteristic shear strength of glulam made of softwoods according to EN 14080:2013 Table 4. See prEN 18307-3 requirements in this case.

It also classifies aminoplastic adhesive systems being used with a range of hardener dosage, and one component polyurethane adhesive product lines where all the products within the line have the same chemical composition except for a different amount of catalyst.

This document only specifies the performance of an adhesive for use in an environment corresponding to the defined conditions.

The performance requirements of this document are applicable to the adhesive only, not to the manufacturing timber products.

This document does not cover the performance of adhesives for on-site gluing (except for factory-like conditions) nor the production of wood-based panels, except solid wood panels, or modified and stabilized wood with considerably reduced swelling and shrinkage properties, e.g. such as acetylated wood, heat treated wood and polymer impregnated wood. It also does not cover preservative treated wood.

This document is primarily intended for use by adhesive manufacturers and for use in timber products made of selected hardwood species bonded with adhesives, to assess or control the quality of adhesives. The requirements apply to the type testing of the adhesives. Production control activities are outside the scope of this document.

Adhesives meeting the requirements of this document are adequate for use in a load-bearing timber products made of selected hardwood species, provided that the bonding process has been carried out according to an appropriate product standard.

Selected hardwood species covered by this document are listed in FprCEN/TS XXX (2), group A. FprCEN/TS XXX (3)also specifies nominal physical properties of the mentioned species that are used for testing according to this document.

This document describes the methodology for the calculation of the carbon footprint and specify the guidelines, requirements for accounting and reporting carbon footprint of steel wire and cords used for tyre reinforcement

This document specifies guidance for the development of standards and specifications covering plastics waste recovery, including recycling. The document establishes the different options for the recovery of plastics waste arising from post-industrial and post-consumer sources as illustrated diagrammatically in Annex A. Consequently, the process stages, steps, and terminology presented in this document are intended to be of general applicability presented in Annex B.

This document specifies a test method for the determination of bond strength between an underlayment produced with cementitious or calciumsulfate-based floor levelling compounds and a standard substrate. This document applies to cementitious, and calcium sulphate-based floor levelling compounds used for the preparation of subfloors to ensure the suitability of the substrate prior to the installation of floor coverings. By using the floor levelling compound, a homogeneous layer is built up on the load-bearing substrate, to ensure consistent absorbency, evenness and strength.

This document specifies a laboratory method for the extraction of microplastics from compost matrices originating from industrial or home composting. The method outlines various extraction steps assuring polymer stability, and high recovery rate. This extraction process separates microplastics from the compost matrix that can be further analysed either by number-based or by mass-based techniques.

The method is applicable for microplastics up to 1 mm in size.

The method is applicable for microplastics with densities lower than 1,4 g/cm3.

This document will not specify downstream detection methods for the identification and quantification.

The method in this document has not been validated for microplastic extraction from other matrices, except for composts.

This document defines methods that measure amounts of bacterial cells or a marker gene DNA to obtain the total abundance in environmental aqueous samples, such as seawater and river water, for biodegradability assessment. Amounts of a marker gene DNA enable to give a prediction of abundance of bacterial cells by using a conversion factor such as average number of the marker gene homologues in a bacterial cell. The methods could be also applicable to aqueous samples artificially enriched with bacterial cells released from environmental sediments. In addition, this document is applicable to solution with bacteria extracted from environmental sediments and plastic surfaces, where appropriate pre-treatment might be defined elsewhere. In the document, the method provides measurement of prokaryotic bacterial cells, though eukaryotic microorganisms are out of scope.

NOTE   Eukaryotic microorganisms, especially fungi, are well known to be primary decomposers in land, but the role in hydrosphere has been less documented and is largely unknown yet. Actually, the proportion of fungi in the ocean whole microbial metagenome has been reported as low (fungal reads make up 1,4 % to 2,9 % [2]).

This document specifies the method for the characterisation of the compaction response of fibrous reinforcements used in liquid composite moulding. Specimens are compressed at a controlled speed to a predetermined thickness and the relative compressive load is measured. In this method, specimens are tested in both the saturated (“wet”) and unsaturated (“dry”) state. The following steps explain how to prepare the test setup and characterise the compaction response. This method specifies the speed of testing. It should be noted that testing at different speeds can yield different results which may not be comparable.

This document specifies methods for determining the pot life of multi-part adhesives, in order to be able to determine whether the pot life conforms to the minimum specified working life required of an adhesive. The different methods described in this document to measure the property do not necessarily provide identical results. The test methods described are suitable for assessing all multi–part adhesives, and especially epoxy based and polyurethane based adhesives, but they are not suitable for some acrylic-based adhesives. NOTE 1      Some of the methods described in this document can also be suitable for determination of working life of one-part adhesives that react to humidity (e.g. PUR prepolymers). NOTE 2      This document can also be used for assessing non-structural adhesives.
