1 Scope
This document specifies methods for determining the bonding quality of veneer plywood, blockboard and
laminboard by shear testing.
The relevant requirements are specified in EN 314-2.
This document is suitable for insulating core plywood as defined in Annex B.
Annex A is normative. Annex B is informative.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.

EN 326-1, Wood-based panels — Sampling, cutting and inspection — Part 1: Sampling and cutting of test
pieces and expression of test results.
3 Test pieces
3.1 Sampling
Sampling shall be according to EN 326-1.
Test pieces shall be without any manufacturing defects or characteristics inherent in wood (see EN 635-1) in
the testing area.
3.2 Shape and sizes
The test pieces of veneer plywood shall be prepared as shown in Figure 1.
Each test piece shall be cut so that the grain direction of the layer between the gluelines under test is
perpendicular to the length of the test piece.
The test pieces have to be prepared and the nicking is made to allow the examination of each glueline of the
panel.
The saw cuts shall extend into the layer between the gluelines under test, as shown in Figure 1.
Full panel thickness test pieces may be used for veneer plywood with 3 to 9 layers.
For panels of more than 9 layers, excess layers may be removed by planing, cutting or sanding.
Similar procedure can be used for determining the bonding quality of blockboard and laminboard (Figure 2) or
thin faces veneered plywood (Figure 3). The saw cuts shall extend into one of the layers between the
gluelines under test between face layers and core layers, as shown in Figures 2 and 3.
NOTE For insulating core plywood, see Annex B.

4 Apparatus
4.1 Physical test
Thermostatically controlled water-bath suitable for immersing test pieces and capable of maintaining a
temperature of (20 ± 3) °C.
Boiling tank enabling the test piece to be immersed in boiling water.
Ventilated drying oven capable of maintaining a temperature of (60 ± 3) °C at all points.
Measuring instrument of lengths with an accuracy of 0,1 mm.
A lens with a magnification of 10.
4.2 Shear test
A tensile testing machine with suitable serrated grips capable of operating continuously and measuring the
applied load to an accuracy of ± 1 %.
5 Pre-treatments
5.1 Sequence of pre-treatment
5.1.1 Immersion for 24 h in water at (20 ± 3) °C.
5.1.2 Immersion for 6 h in boiling water followed by cooling in water at (20 ± 3) °C, for at least 1 h.
5.1.3 Immersion for 4 h in boiling water, then drying in the ventilated drying oven for 16 h to 20 h at (60 ±
3) °C, then immersion in boiling water for 4 h, followed by cooling in water at (20 ± 3) °C for at least 1 h.
5.1.4 Immersion for (72 ± 1) h in boiling water, followed by cooling in water at (20 ± 3) °C for at least 1 h.
5.2 Choice of pre-treatment
EN 314-2 gives information on pre-treatments for particular plywood types.
5.3 Positioning of test pieces
The test pieces shall be placed, well separated, in a suitable rack or wire basket. During soaking, each test
piece shall remain completely immersed in water.
6 Procedure
6.1 Determination of behaviour of bonding by shear test
Before the water treatment, the length and width of the shear area shall be measured to an accuracy of
0,1 mm and recorded.
The shear test shall be carried out on wet test pieces from which a wiping can be realized.
The shear test pieces shall be arranged in the centre of the clamping devices in such a way that the load
can be transmitted from the testing machine, via the ends of the test pieces, to the shear area without any
transverse loads. If slipping occurs it is only allowed in the initial stage of the loading. This clamping is
made on faces.
The load shall be applied at a constant rate of motion so that rupture occurs within (30 ± 10) s.
The breaking load shall be determined to an accuracy of 1 %. The shear strength shall be calculated in
Newton per square millimetre (N/mm ) according to clause 7.
After the shear test, the apparent cohesive wood failure shall be determined according to 6.2.
6.2 Determination of the percentage of apparent cohesive wood failure
The failure should normally occur in the wood, or in the glue-lines between the saw cuts, i.e. within the shear
test area. When failure occurs outside the test area, or if by cross-grain breaking within 50 % or more of the
surface of a face veneer, the result shall be rejected and the test shall be repeated with a shear length of
25 mm by using the procedure for plywood with faces made of thin veneers in Figure 3.
With the exception of results from test pieces containing tape, the results of failures arising from the presence
of strength reducing defects shall be excluded. Test pieces with such defects should normally be identified
and replaced during the cutting operation. If the number of test pieces rejected exceeds 20 %, it will be
necessary to resample. If the resampling is also rejected on this basis, then the batch shall be rejected.
The test pieces shall be allowed to dry before the determination of apparent cohesive wood failure.
The apparent cohesive wood failure percentage shall be recorded by use of the written guidelines and
comparison with the pictures in Annex A (determination of apparent cohesive wood failure percentage, if
possible by 5 % increment from 0 % to 100 %).
7 Expression of results
The shear strength f of each test piece in Newtons per square millimetre (N/mm ) is calculated from the
v
following equation:
F
f =
v
l1 × b1
where
F is the failing force of the test piece, in Newton;
l is the length of the shear area in millimetres;
b is the width of the share area
