This International Standard specifies methods for determining the pot life of multi-component adhesives in
order to be able to determine whether the pot life conforms to the minimum specified working life required of
an adhesive.
NOTE 1 For the purposes of simplification, the term “pot life” is deemed to have the same meaning as “working life”
and will be used to represent both throughout this International Standard.
The test methods described are suitable for assessing all multi-component adhesives, and especially
epoxy-based and polyurethane-based adhesives, but they are not suitable for some acrylic-based adhesives.
NOTE 2 This International Standard can also be used for assessing non-structural adhesives.
