Scope:

This Standard specifies requirements for evaluating adhesives used to bond solid wood materials in structural wood products intended for limited moisture exposure applications.

 

This Standard specifies requirements for evaluating the resistance of adhesives to:

(a) shear caused by compression loading, under both dry and re-dry conditions;

(b) delamination during accelerated exposure to wetting and drying;

and (c) deformation under static shear loading during exposure to heat or high humidity.

 

This Standard is not intended for assessment of the effects of chemical treatments of wood on adhesive performance.

Project need:

To update the current standard due to user experience/feedback/new technology (new edition). This proposed New Edition is being developed at the request of the Canadian Wood Council. It will provide the industry with an updated standard useful to the end user. This will meet the strategic needs of the following key interests: Industry, regulators, consumers, government and designers will benefit by a) ensuring that the latest innovative/technology/safety features are available for users, b) addressing needs of regulators by providing suitable requirements; and c) supporting certification bodies.
