AS/NZS 4364:2010 PDF Download

AS/NZS 4364:2010 is a standard that provides guidelines for the performance requirements of adhesives used in prefabricated timber components for structural purposes. The standard specifies the suitability of these adhesives for use in defined environmental conditions and for the manufacture of structural finger-jointed timber and glulam.

It is important to note that this standard does not cover the performance requirements for adhesive bonds between structural timber components in plywood, LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber), and wood-based panel products. However, the adhesive bond requirements outlined in AS/NZS 4364:2010 may still be applicable to these products.

The purpose of this standard is to ensure that the adhesive bonds used in structural timber components meet certain performance criteria. By specifying the suitable adhesives and defining the required performance attributes, the standard helps ensure the safety, durability, and structural integrity of timber structures.
