The approval processes for load bearing wood applications vary from continent to continent. Knowledge of these is essential in developing new adhesive systems.

Adhesives used in load-bearing timber structures such as glulam and Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) are critical structural components. Their performance directly influences the safety, durability, and reliability of buildings. For this reason, they are subject to stringent national and international approval and certification requirements.
