This International Standard specifies a method for determining the shear strength of wood-to-wood adhesive bonds, with a standard specimen loaded in tension and under specified conditions of preparation, conditioning and testing. This method is intended for testing only those adhesives used in bonding wood to wood in either parallel-laminated or cross-laminated construction. NOTE 1 To carry out this test, basic information regarding certain variables is needed by the test laboratory (see Annex A). NOTE 2 This method is not intended for use in testing manufactured products.
