What is BS EN 14258 - Structural adhesives about?  
BS EN 14258 specifies guidelines for the evaluation of the mechanical behavior of structural adhesively bonded joints subjected to short- and long-term exposure at specified conditions of temperature (heat resistance). This is determined by means of measurement of the shear properties of structural adhesively bonded joints.
BS EN 14258 specifies how adhesively bonded joints can be characterized:
- at different temperatures
- after having been submitted to continuous exposure under specified conditions of time and temperature
Who is BS EN 14258- Structural adhesives for?  
BS EN 14258 on structural adhesives is for:
- Adhesives manufacturers and suppliers   
- Chemical engineer
- Scientists and researchers
- Manufacturers of wall coverings
Why should you use BS EN 14258 - Structural adhesives? 
The mechanical properties of adhesively bonded joints are strongly dependent on the temperature at which they are determined, and could be altered when subjected to continuous exposures at specified conditions of time and temperature.
BS EN 14258 determines mechanical behavior of bonded joints subjected to short and long terms exposure at specified conditions of temperature.
BS EN 14258 provides you with apparatus, sampling, transport, storage, and preparation of test pieces, preparation of reagents and apparatus, pre-treatment of test pieces, test procedure, and much more.
The specifications given in BS EN 14258 enable you to standardize the quality of adhesives which contributes a lot to maintaining the high quality and efficient functioning.
