IS 1946 : Part 3 : 2025 Fixing Devices in Walls, Ceilings and Floors of Solid Construction - Part 3 Testing and Assessment of Post-Installed Adhesive Anchoring Systems
1 SCOPE
1.1 This standard (Part 3) covers the required tests and assessment methods for evaluating performance of post-installed adhesive anchors and torque controlled adhesive anchors in concrete when subjected to static or quasi-static, and seismic loading conditions. The evaluation is done to determine suitability of use and derive characteristic values for design purposes. This standard does not cover undercut adhesive anchors.
1.2 The document outlines the tests required to evaluate the performance of post installed adhesive anchors and torque controlled adhesive anchors in concrete prior to issuance of the assessment report.
NOTE - This does not apply to quality control measures at jobsite.
1.3 The testing and assessment of post installed adhesive anchors shall be done by a third party testing laboratory and evaluation agency, and assessment report (AR) shall be issued by the approval body in accordance with this standard. The AR is not project specific.
1.4 The characteristic values reported in AR shall be used for design of post-installed adhesive anchors and torque controlled adhesive anchors in concrete according to IS 1946 (Part 2).
NOTE - It is the sole responsibility of the manufacturer to coordinate with the Third Party Testing Laboratory, the Evaluation Agency and the Approval Body to obtain the AR.
COMMENTARY - European Technical Assessment (ETA) prepared based on European Assessment Document (EAD) is an example of Assessment Report (AR) which is globally adopted.
1.5 The document covers the apparatus required for the tests, the test specimen, the detailed test regime, and methods of assessment in the sequence mentioned.
