Adhesives - Sampling (ISO 15605:2000)

This International Standard specifies methods for sampling adhesives and related products, in order to obtain uniform
samples of convenient size which are adequately representative of the product being sampled. The sample or
samples so obtained are suitable for examination and preparation prior to testing.
The methods are applicable to products which require the addition and mixing in of catalysts or hardeners prior to
their application, by sampling each component separately. The methods are not applicable, however, to sampling
from a stream of adhesive (in this case the samples can be prepared in accordance with ISO 8213).
This International Standard does not apply to animal glues.

Adhésifs - Echantillonnage (ISO 15605:2000)

La présente Norme internationale spécifie des méthodes pour l'échantillonnage d'adhésifs et de leurs composants,
afin d'obtenir des échantillons uniformes de dimensions convenables qui soient représentatifs du produit soumis à
l'échantillonnage. L'échantillon ou les échantillons ainsi obtenus conviennent pour l'examen et la préparation avant
l'essai.
Ces méthodes s'appliquent également aux produits requérant l'addition et le mélange de catalyseurs ou de durcisseurs
avant application, par échantillonnage séparé de chaque composant. Les méthodes ne s'appliquent cependant
pas à l'échantillonnage à partir d'un courant d'adhésif (dans ce cas, les échantillons peuvent être préparés
conformément à l'ISO 8213).
La présente Norme internationale ne s'applique pas aux colles d'origine animale.

Overview

EN ISO 15605:2004 (ISO 15605:2000) - "Adhesives - Sampling" is a CEN-endorsed International Standard that specifies methods to obtain uniform, representative samples of adhesives and related products for examination and preparation prior to testing. It sets out principles for safe, reproducible sampling from manufacturing vessels and delivery containers, including multi-component systems (sampling each component separately). The standard explicitly excludes sampling from a running adhesive stream (see ISO 8213) and does not apply to animal glues.

Key topics and requirements

• Scope and applicability
  • Sampling methods for finished adhesives and related products (not animal glues).
  • Applicable to systems requiring separate sampling of components (e.g., catalysts, hardeners).
• Terminology
  • Definitions for batch, delivery, gross sample, laboratory sample, reference sample, storage sample, and test sample to ensure clarity in sampling workflows.
• Safety and handling
  • Hazard controls for volatile or flammable solvents, explosion risk, inhalation and skin exposure.
  • Precautions for static electricity, earthing of large containers, and working with light-, moisture- or oxygen-sensitive adhesives.
  • Filling sample containers typically 80–90% full (except anaerobic adhesives - max 50%).
• Product types
  • Classification of adhesive product types (A–F): single-phase fluids, emulsions, dispersions, viscous mastics, powders, and solids (films, tapes, sheets).
  • Special handling for hygroscopic, moisture-reactive, light-sensitive and anaerobic adhesives.
• Sampling equipment and cleanliness
  • Requirements for materials and design (non-reactive, easy to clean).
  • Use of stirrers, weighted sampling cans, sampling tubes, scoops, and appropriate sample containers (metal, glass, polyethylene).
  • Strict cleaning and labelling requirements; adherence to regulations for dangerous goods labelling.
• Sampling situations and methods
  • Procedures for sampling from manufacturing vessels (stirring, multiple-level sampling) and during filling of delivery containers (regular sub-samples).
  • Guidance on preparing representative gross samples and reducing them to laboratory/test samples.
• Documentation and storage
  • Labelling, sealing, sampling reports, and storage of retained/reference samples for dispute resolution.

Applications and users

• Who uses it: quality control laboratories, adhesive manufacturers, procurement and QA teams, third‑party testing labs, regulatory auditors.
• Practical uses: ensuring representative test material for physical, chemical and performance testing; demonstrating batch compliance; dispute resolution by retained reference samples; safe handling protocols for hazardous adhesive chemistries.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard ISO 15605 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Subcommittee SC 11,

Introduction
Correct sampling is a skilled operation and the various procedures should be carried out with great care by samplers
having the required knowledge and experience. The general instructions in this International Standard are intended
to supplement this knowledge and experience and are applicable to most situations; however, some products require
special sampling precautions not specified in this International Standard and therefore special vigilance is needed on
the part of samplers to take note of unusual characteristics exhibited by the products. It is also essential that sam-
plers observe special precautions in accordance with manufacturers' instructions and safety regulations.

ISO 15605:2000(E)
3.3
sample
any quantity of adhesive taken from and representative of a batch or delivery and intended to provide information
necessary for assessing the characteristics of that material
3.4
gross sample
sample as collected from a batch or delivery
NOTE A reduced sample can be obtained by a method which reduces the quantity of the gross sample without changing its com-
position or physical state.
3.5
laboratory sample
final sample, ready for examination or testing
3.6
reference sample
sample, prepared at the same time as and identical with the laboratory sample, accepted by the parties to a contract
and which is held for use as a laboratory sample in the event of a dispute
3.7
storage sample
retained sample
sample, prepared at the same time as and identical with the laboratory sample, intended for possible future use as a
laboratory sample
3.8
test sample
sample, prepared from the laboratory sample, from which the test portions are withdrawn or taken and used for
examination or testing
NOTE The test sample can consist of two or more separate components of a multi-component adhesive system.
4 Safety
4.1 A number of hazards exist in the sampling of adhesives, particularly those containing volatile solvents. They
include the flammability of such solvents, the danger of explosion (of a vapour and air mixture) and physiological ef-
fects. The precautions indicated on the safety data sheet shall be referred to before handling a product.
Many adhesives are formulated with flammable solvents and the following precautions shall be taken. Care shall be
taken that all sampling equipment used for these materials is made of material that is not liable to induce sparking
from static electricity. It is good practice to connect large containers to earth. All regulations regarding “controlled” or
“flammable” areas in which the samples are being taken shall be strictly followed.
The danger of explosion requires the same precautions as outlined above.
Vapour from solvents can be harmful and precautions should be taken to avoid its inhalation. Contact with the skin,
spillage on clothing, etc., should be avoided as far as possible during sampling. The correct treatment for any harmful
material should be known beforehand and the appropriate antidote should be at hand. Some constituents can also
be absorbed through the skin.
4.2 It is recommended that two persons be present when samples are being taken from large vessels such as stor-
age tanks, road tanks or rail tanks.
4.3 Before sampling from rail tanks, it shall be ensured that no shunting operations are likely.
4.4 Except in the case of anaerobic adhesives, the containers shall be filled between 80 % and 90 % of their total
capacity; this allows, on the one hand, for the high coefficient of expansion of certain liquid adhesives, and for the

need ultimately to mix the samples thoroughly to obtain representative test samples and avoids, on the other hand,
too large an air space which can deleteriously affect some adhesives. Because anaerobic adhesives are adversely
affected by the absence of air, sample containers for these materials shall be filled no more than 50 % full.
Moisture-reactive adhesives or hygroscopic adhesives can react during the sampling procedure or storage. After
sampling, sample containers for moisture-curing adhesives or hygroscopic adhesives can be covered with dry
nitrogen or another inert gas.
Light-sensitive adhesives can be kept in a lightproof container (amber glass provides only partial protection against
the action of light). It is essential that they are exposed to light for the minimum time.
Samples of adhesives in film form shall be rolled up, together with their protective film, if any, and placed in a polyeth-
ylene bag which is then sealed and put in a sample container (see 6.5).
5 Types of adhesive and related product
The sampling procedures appropriate for use with adhesives and related products depend on the nature and the
physical properties of the products. It is convenient to distinguish between the following types of product:
— Type A: Fluid products consisting of a single homogeneous liquid phase.
— Type B: Fluid products consisting of two liquid phases (for example, emulsions).
— Type C: Fluid products consisting of one or two liquid phases together with one or more solid phases (for
example, water-based dispersions).
— Type D: Viscous products which usually consist of one or more solid phases with a small amount of a liquid phase
(for example, mastics).
— Type E: Products in powder form.
— Type F: Solid products not in powder form (for example, blocks, films, tapes, sheets, granules, etc.).
