Full title and description

ISO 24564:2022 — Space systems — Adhesives — General requirements. Specifies general requirements for selection of adhesives, adhesive bonding processes and associated quality assurance for use in space systems (launch vehicles, satellites, spacecraft and space stations), including bonding, component embedding (space applications), sealing, fixing and repair activities.

Abstract

This standard defines general requirements to support adhesive material selection, process control, qualification and quality assurance for adhesive bonding used in space applications. It covers different adhesive types and their application for bonding, embedding (space-only), sealing, fixing and repair operations in spacecraft and related systems.

Scope

Applies to the selection and use of adhesive materials and adhesive bonding processes in space systems, addressing requirements needed for design, processing, qualification, inspection and quality assurance. Typical applications covered include bonding of structural and non-structural components, embedding of components when applicable to space use, sealing, fixing and repair operations. The standard is intended to be used at procurement, design and integration stages to ensure reliable adhesive performance in the space environment.

Key topics and requirements

• Adhesive selection criteria including material compatibility and intended functional requirements.
• Requirements for process definition: surface preparation, application, curing and assembly procedures.
• Qualification and test requirements to demonstrate performance in the space environment (thermal cycling, vacuum/outgassing, radiation as applicable).
• Quality assurance, inspection and acceptance criteria for bonded assemblies.
• Documentation, traceability and procurement specifications for adhesives and processes.
• Storage, handling and shelf‑life control for adhesive materials.
• Guidance on repair, replacement and sealing techniques for in-service applications.

Typical use and users

Used by spacecraft and launch-vehicle design engineers, materials and bonding specialists, quality and reliability engineers, integration and assembly technicians, procurement teams specifying adhesives, adhesive manufacturers supplying space-grade products, and test laboratories performing qualification and acceptance testing.

Related standards

Commonly used alongside other space and materials standards and test-methods such as applicable ECSS (European Cooperation for Space Standardization) requirements for materials and adhesives, relevant ASTM test methods for adhesive characterization and bond testing, and other ISO space-system standards that address environmental, cleanliness and programmatic requirements. Users should cross-reference project- or agency-specific standards and qualification requirements when applying ISO 24564.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 24564:2022 is an international standard that sets out general requirements for adhesive selection, adhesive bonding processes and related quality assurance for space systems and applications.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers adhesive material selection, process definition (surface preparation, application, curing), qualification and test considerations, inspection and acceptance criteria, documentation and handling/storage practices for adhesives used in space systems.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Aerospace engineers, materials and bonding specialists, QA teams, integrators, adhesive suppliers and test laboratories involved in spacecraft and launch-vehicle manufacture and maintenance.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 24564:2022 is a current published international standard (published 16 November 2022). It is listed as Edition 1 (2022) and is under the normal ISO review lifecycle.
