EN 302-1 is a European Standard that specifies the test method for determining the longitudinal tensile shear strength of adhesives used in load-bearing timber structures. It applies to structural adhesives used in products such as glued-laminated timber, finger joints, and other bonded wood components.

The method involves preparing bonded wood test specimens and applying a tensile load parallel to the grain until failure occurs. The resulting data provide an indication of the mechanical performance and durability of the adhesive bond under realistic service conditions.
