ISO 19993:2007 PDF Download

ISO 19993:2007 is a standard that outlines the procedures for testing the strength and durability of glued laminated timber (glulam). The standard focuses on evaluating the integrity of the face and edge joints in glulam through a cleavage test. This test involves separating the glued layers of timber to determine the quality of the adhesive bond.

The standard provides guidelines for conducting these tests in both dry and wet conditions, which allows for assessing the performance of glulam under different environmental conditions. By subjecting glulam samples to this cleavage test, manufacturers can determine the effectiveness of their bonding processes and ensure the structural integrity of glued laminated timber.

ISO 19993:2007 is essential for maintaining the quality and reliability of glulam products. By implementing this standard, manufacturers can verify the strength and durability of glued laminated timber, providing assurance to users and ensuring compliance with industry standards. This standard contributes to the overall safety and performance of timber structures and promotes the use of glued laminated timber in various applications.
