This document classifies thermoplastic resin-based wood adhesives for non-structural applications into durability classes D1 to D4 based on the dry and wet strengths of bond-lines measured under specified conditions after various conditioning treatments.

For special applications, further tests that do not fall within the scope of this document can be applicable.

The adhesives specified in this document are suitable for the bonding of furniture and interior structures, panelling, doors, windows, stairs etc. made of wood or derived timber products.

This document does not specify the temperature resistance of bond-lines.

This document specifies tests for adhesives for wood and derived timber products for the assessment of their resistance to hot and cold water. It is 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.
