What Standards exist for shear testing of adhesives?

   

Frequently Asked Questions

Several organisations produce Standards, and three well established organisations are BSI (British Standards Institution), ISO (International Organisation for Standardisation) and ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials). The Standards offered by these organisations include:

BSI

BS EN 1465 (1995): Adhesives-Determination of Tensile Lap-Shear Strength of Rigid-to-Rigid Bonded Assemblies

ISO

ISO 4587 (2003): Adhesives-Determination of Tensile Lap-Shear Strength of Rigid-to-Rigid Bonded Assemblies
