Overview
EN 1902:2015 is a European Standard developed by CEN that sets out a test method for evaluating adhesives used in bonding floor and wall coverings through a shear creep test. This standard focuses on assessing the long-term adhesion performance of adhesives under sustained shear stress when applied between coverings and substrates. Importantly, the term "wall covering" excludes wallpaper types.
This standard supersedes the earlier EN 1902:1999, bringing updates such as modifications to roller dimensions and substrate conditioning temperatures. EN 1902:2015 is vital for manufacturers, testers, and quality control professionals involved in adhesives and covering materials, ensuring reliable and durable bonding in building interiors.
Key Topics
- Scope and Application: Specifies methods for testing adhesives bonded to floor and wall coverings under long-term shear stress.
- Test Specimen Preparation: Includes cleaning, sampling adhesives, substrate and covering conditioning, adhesive application using a notched trowel, and bonding techniques.
- Test Apparatus: Notched trowels, rollers (specified dimensions and mass), fibre cement panels as substrate, clamping devices with weight holders, and an optional automatic failure monitoring device.
- Test Procedure: Test specimens are suspended vertically, loaded progressively up to 6 kg shear force, and tested up to 52 days or until failure.
- Failure Assessment: Classifies failure modes as adhesive or cohesive per EN ISO 10365.
- Environmental Conditions: Conditioning and testing are performed at controlled temperature (23 ± 2 °C) and relative humidity (50 ± 5 %) per ISO 554.
- Reporting Requirements: Test reports must detail adhesive batch, covering types, testing conditions, failure times, failure modes, displacement measurements, and test deviations.
Applications
EN 1902:2015 is applicable for:
- Adhesive manufacturers: Validating the long-term shear bonding strength of flooring and wall covering adhesives to ensure product reliability and compliance with European norms.
- Quality assurance labs: Routine testing of adhesive batches to maintain standards and predict in-service performance.
- Construction and interior design: Selecting adhesives that guarantee durable adhesion of specific floor and wall coverings to substrates, helping prevent failures such as delamination or slippage under load.
- Material research and development: Optimizing adhesive formulations to improve shear resistance and bonding durability.
- Certification bodies: Providing a common basis for certification and product labeling related to adhesive performance.
By adhering to EN 1902:2015, stakeholders can achieve greater confidence in the durability of adhesive bonds under static shear forces, directly impacting flooring and wall covering installations' safety and longevity.
Related Standards
EN 1902:2015 references and complements several other standards critical in adhesive testing and building material evaluation:
- EN 923:2005+A1:2008 - Defines terms and definitions related to adhesives.
