Overview of European Standards for Adhesives Used in Wood-Based Products

摘要

This paper is an overview of European standards dealing with adhesives for wood-based products. No standard exists in Europe for the assessment of adhesives for wood-based panels except for the evaluation of the bonding quality of plywood panels. However, many standards exist and are described here for the assessment of adhesives for structural purposes such as glulam beams or non-structural purposes such as glued components for joinery.
