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 the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

ISO 9142 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Subcommittee SC 11, Products.

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 9142:1990), of which it constitutes a minor
revision.

INTENRATIONAL TSANDADR IS:2419 O3002(E)

Adhesives — Guide to the selection of standard laboratory

ageing conditions for testing bonded joints

1 Scope
This International Standard describes laboratory ageing conditions under which adhesive joints may be
exposed to various environmental influences — climatic or chemical — for the purpose of assessing the
effects of such influences on certain properties.

The ageing conditions are applicable to bonded assemblies and may be used to constitute a set of tests for
the evaluation of an adhesive.

The results obtained using the procedures described in this International Standard are not necessarily
applicable to the determination of the service life of a bonded assembly because there is no direct relation
between the test results and the behaviour of a bonded assembly over a period of time under service
conditions. However, for certain specific applications, experience with the procedures may enable a
correlation to be established.

NOTE The ageing conditions should preferably be related to the specific application of the adhesive.

5.1
Specimens

Number and type

ｗｗｗ．ｂｚｆｘｗ．ｃｏｍ
The number of test specimens, and the type used, will depend on the properties to be measured and the
required ageing conditions. The test specimens shall be prepared in accordance with the requirements of the
appropriate ISO standard test method. Prepare a sufficient number of specimens to provide homogeneous
sets of samples for testing and to provide control samples. The following International Standards, which do not
constitute an exhaustive list, are applicable: ISO 4587, ISO 4588, ISO 6238.

5.2 Conditioning

Specimens shall be conditioned in the conditioning chamber (4.1) for a minimum duration of 24 h before being
subjected to ageing. The conditioning shall be carried out after the adhesive has been cured in accordance
with the materials specification or the methods specified by the manufacturer of the adhesive.

6 Procedure

6.1 Tests before ageing

Determine the properties required for the sample under test by the appropriate test method, using specimens
conditioned in accordance with 5.2.

6.2 Ageing

Expose conditioned specimens to the environmental conditions as defined in Annex A to Annex F, as required.

6.3 Tests after ageing

Determine the properties after ageing in accordance with the procedure(s) of the appropriate standard(s).
Unless there are indications to the contrary in the Annexes, condition test specimens in the conditioning
chamber (4.1)

 for (3 ± 1) h in the case of specimens exposed at a relative humidity higher than 50 %,

 for at least 24 h for all other specimens,

before determining the properties.

In addition to the test results, all changes visible during the ageing and testing periods, including mode of
failure, shall be noted.

6.4 Controls

For control purposes, a representative group of specimens shall be kept in the conditioning chamber (4.1) for
the period of time covered by the ageing conditions selected.

7 Expression of results


ｗｗｗ．ｂｚｆｘｗ．ｃｏｍ
For properties that can be measured, the results obtained are expressed as either

absolute values or

 a relative variation with respect to the initial value.

For properties that cannot be measured, the nature of the effects observed shall be noted, e.g. rupture
between the substrate and adhesive, failure of cohesion of the adhesive joint due to partial or total corrosion
of the substrate beneath the adhesive, etc.

NOTE It may be worth verifying that the variation in a measured property is caused only by the ageing process from
the following three values:

A the value of the property measured before accelerated ageing;

B the value of the same property measured on the control specimen which has undergone only intrinsic ageing at
(23 ± 2) °C and (50 ± 5) % R.H. (see 6.4);

C the value of the property measured after ageing.

This can be done by calculating the following ratios:

a) [(A – B)/A] × 100 (this ratio represents the intrinsic ageing during the period concerned);

b) [(A – C)/A] × 100 (this ratio represents the overall ageing due to intrinsic ageing and the accelerated ageing under the
conditions specified in this International Standard);

c) [(B – C)/A] × 100 (this ratio represents the degree of ageing due to ageing under the conditions specified in this
International Standard).

The test report shall include the following information:

a) a reference to this International Standard;

b) a description of the type of ageing carried out, with reference to the relevant Annex(es) and the duration
of exposure and number of test cycles;

c) the results of observations made in accordance with 6.3 (last paragraph) and Clause 7;

Preferred temperatures are given, together with tolerances, in Table A.1.

A.3 Preferred exposure periods

Hours: 1 — 2 — 3 — 4 — 6 — 16 — 24 — 48 — 72 — 96

Weeks: 1 — 2 — 3 — 4 — 6 — 8 — 12 — 16 — 26 — 52

Annex E
(normative)

Special procedures

E.1 Procedure E1 — Exposure to neutral salt spray

Expose the specimens to salt spray under the conditions specified for the NSS (neutral salt spray) test in
ISO 9227.

The period of exposure shall be selected from those given in Annex A. Condition the exposed specimens at
(23 ± 2) °C and (50 ± 5) % R.H. for 24 h before measuring the property of interest.

E.2 Procedure E2 — Exposure to water in a damp compress

This procedure requires two chambers, as follows:

 a dry-heat chamber A (4.2), kept at a temperature of (70 ± 2) °C;

 a cold chamber B (4.4), kept at a temperature of (− 20 ± 3) °C.

The procedure also requires purified cotton wool, weldable polyethylene bags and de-ionized water.

Produce the damp-surface contact conditions by wrapping the test specimens in cotton wool and placing them
in one of the weldable bags. Saturate the cotton wool with de-ionized water and seal the bag by welding.

For exposure periods of longer than 14 days, open the bag and re-saturate the cotton wool every 14 days.
Reseal.

Expose the specimens, for an exposure period selected from those given in Annex A, in chamber A.

Transfer the specimens from chamber A to chamber B in less than 3 min.

Keep the specimens in chamber B for 15 h. At the end of this period, remove the bag from the chamber and
allow it to thaw out. Then remove the contents from the bag, discard the cotton wool and condition the
specimens at (23 ± 2) °C and (50 ± 5) % R.H. for 24 h before measurement of the property of interest.

E.3 Procedure E3 — Exposure to laboratory light sources

Expose the specimens to artificial light in accordance with the relevant part of ISO 4892.

E.4 Procedure E4 — Exposure to neutral salt spray and elevated temperature and
humidity

Expose the specimens for an exposure period selected from those given in Annex A to salt spray under the
conditions specified for the NSS (neutral salt spray) test in ISO 9227.

After this, transfer the specimens to a humid chamber (4.3), kept at (40 ± 2) °C and a relative humidity
between 90 % and 100 % for a further exposure period selected from those given in Annex A. Condition the
specimens at (23 ± 2) °C and (50 ± 5) % R.H. for 48 h before measuring the property of interest.
