ISO/TR 20152-3:2013 PDF Download

ISO/TR 20152-3:2013 is a standard that focuses on the use of alternative wood species for bond tests in timber structures. It outlines the procedures that need to be followed in order to recognize and evaluate new wood species for the assessment of structural wood adhesives. The standard acts as a guideline for researchers and manufacturers to ensure consistent and reliable bond performance testing when using non-traditional wood species.

By providing explicit procedures, ISO/TR 20152-3:2013 enables the proper evaluation and comparison of bond performance between different wood species. This helps ensure that the adhesive performance is not compromised when using alternative wood species in timber structures. The standard also aims to enhance the understanding of bond performance in various wood species, allowing for better material selection and design choices in construction projects.

ISO/TR 20152-3:2013 is an important document for the timber industry as it provides a systematic approach to recognizing and evaluating the suitability of alternative species for bond testing. By aligning with the procedures outlined in this standard, manufacturers and researchers can maintain the integrity and performance of structural wood adhesives, even when using non-traditional wood species.
