This part of EN 302 specifies a method of determining the shear strength of adhesive bonds. It is applicable to adhesives used in load-bearing timber structures.
This method is not intended for use to provide numerical design data, nor is it applicable to the assessment of adhesives for the manufacture of wood-based panels.
