Confirmation of equivalent performance of adhesives specified in Japanese Agricultural Standards (e.g. JAS for Glued Laminated Timber)

JAS lists adhesives that can be used for glued laminated timber, etc. Adhesives other than those listed can also be used as long as they have performance equivalent or better than those listed.
FAMIC confirms that the adhesives applied for confirmation have performance equivalent to the listed adhesives.
