These test methods cover tests to measure the properties of adhesives, commonly called rubber cements, that may be applied in plastic or fluid form and that are manufactured from natural rubber, reclaimed rubber, synthetic elastomers, or combinations of these materials.

The tests do provide standard procedures for evaluating the more important properties of the usual adhesives ordinarily classed as rubber cements.
