BS EN ISO 10365:2022

What is ISO 10365 - Designation of main failure patterns in adhesives about?  

ISO 10365 is an international organisation for standardization that specifies the designations for the main types of failure patterns of bonded assemblies and illustrates, through diagrams, their respective appearances. 

ISO 10365 applies to all mechanical tests performed on a bonded assembly, regardless of the nature of the adherents and adhesive which make up the assembly. 

Who is ISO 10365 - Designation of main failure patterns in adhesives for? 

ISO 10365 on designation of main failure patterns in adhesives is useful for: 

• The automotive industry 
• The building and construction industry 
• The aerospace industry 
• The railway industry 
• The mechanical industry 

Why should you use ISO 10365 - Designation of main failure patterns in adhesives?  

The designation of the failure patterns is provided to classify failures in order to understand better the result of any mechanical test of adhesion on a bonded assembly, which is usually expressed by quantitative measured values. 

ISO 10365 provides its users with the terms and definitions and the application for assessment of performance and efficiency.

Using ISO 10365 guidelines ensures smooth classification systems, quality assurance, and durability to its users.  

What’s changed since the last update?  

BS EN ISO 10365:2022 supersedes ISO 10365:1992, which is withdrawn. BS EN ISO 10365:2022 

includes some technical changes with respect to ISO 10365:1992. These include:
