What is ISO 26842-2 about?
ISO 26842-1 discusses the adhesives for indoor wood products. ISO 26842-2 is the second part of a series of documents that provides guidelines to select, by means of delamination-resistance tests, adhesive/wood combinations for use in wood products placed in severe environments, in which the products are exposed to the extreme change of temperature and humidity.
ISO 26842-2 provides a series of exposure cycles at various temperature and humidity values to verify that the adhesive selected, or a product bonded with the adhesive meets the necessary requirements for resistance to delamination.
Note: ISO 26842-1 is not intended for use in the qualification of structural components and when actual wood products are tested using this method, the test results might not be comparable because the test laboratory will not normally have had adequate control over the way the product was assembled.
