This European Standard specifies the equipment and procedures for determining shear behaviour. It is applicable toThermal insulating products.NOTE.The tests described inThis standard do not determine pure shear behaviour, but measureThe effects of applying two opposite parallel forces toThe major faces of the test specimen.The test is, however, called 'shear' inThis text by convention.The application of a force tangentially toThe major surface of the test specimen is considered to represent more closelyThe stresses imposed uponThermal insulation products in many building applications, particularly walls, than other methods of measuring shear performance
