ISO INTERNATIONAL STANDARD 15107 First edition 1998-09-15 Adhesives Determination of cleavage strength of bonded joints Adhésifs - Détermination de la résistance au clivage de joints collés ISO Referencenumber ISO 15107:1998(E) ISO 15107:1998(E) 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 liaison with isO, also take part in the work. isO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission(lEC)onallmattersofelectrotechnicalstandardization. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. International Standard ISO 15107 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Subcommittee SC 11, Products. @ISO1998 All rights reserved.
