This European Standard defines the test method for the determination of the maximum open time for thermoplastic wood adhesives for non-structural applications. Open time refers to the longest time within which two wooden adherends, where the adhesive is applied, can remain decoupled ensuring a minimum strength. Testing is conducted by straining a symmetrical bonded single lap joint between two wooden adherends to rupture by a tensile force parallel to the grain. The test specimens are prepared with increasing open times. The committee responsible for this standard is NA 042-04-05 AA "Spiegelausschuss zu CEN/TC 193/SC 1 Holzklebung" ("Mirror committee for CEN/TC 193/SC 1 Wood adhesives") at DIN.
