Global Standards in Your Hands
Next-Generation Adhesive Solutions Led by Internationally Certified Experts

To maximize the performance and quality of all products that apply adhesive bonding in industrial applications—such as railway vehicles, automobiles, and industrial equipment—AESB has provided numerous adhesive bonding training programs and has produced many adhesive bonding specialists who are active across various industries. Training and certification based on international standards (ISO 21368 and EN 17460) bring the following value to your organization.

1. Visualization of Advanced Professional Competence
Adhesive bonding is considered a Special Process, meaning that product quality cannot be fully verified by non-destructive testing alone. International qualifications define roles and competencies according to responsibilities, allowing your professional capabilities to be verified against internationally recognized standards. This makes it possible to visualize otherwise invisible bonding quality through reliable and recognized “certifications.”

• EAE: Qualification responsible for supervision of the entire adhesive bonding process

• EAS: Qualification responsible for product design and process design

• EAB: Qualification responsible for manufacturing processes

2. Providing Customers with Reliable Assurance
By eliminating the risk of nonconformities during the design phase and thoroughly conducting validation, the long-term durability and safety of products can be ensured. During the manufacturing phase, it becomes possible to establish a system that clearly demonstrates who performed the adhesive bonding, how it was carried out, and according to which standards. This framework serves as a strong foundation for building trust with customers.
3. Trust in Global Standards and Industry Presence
ISO 21368 and EN 17460 are standards widely recognized around the world, particularly in Europe. Holding and implementing these qualifications demonstrates that your technological capabilities meet international standards. It also contributes to gaining high recognition both inside and outside the industry as a company leading next-generation adhesive technologies.

AESB provides education, certification, and technical support for adhesive bonding specialists.
By enabling employees involved in adhesive bonding to acquire the necessary competencies, we contribute to ensuring that your company’s unique products utilizing adhesive bonding continue to maintain the highest quality.
