scope:

This European Standard specifies a series of methods for the determination of the ability of a pressure sensitive tape to remain adhered under a constant load applied parallel to the surfaces of the tape and substrate. The European Standard contains: - method A : Self adhesive tapes - Measurement of shear adhesion to a vertical standard steel panel; - method B : Self adhesive tapes - Measurement of shear adhesion to a vertical panel covered with NIST SRM 1810A standard fibreboard; - method C : Self adhesive tapes - Measurement of shear adhesion to a vertical panel covered with a fibreboard agreed upon by the buyer and seller; - method D : Self adhesive tapes - Measurement of shear adhesion of filament reinforced tape applied to a horizontal standard steel panel; - method E : Self adhesive tapes - Measurement of shear adhesion of filament reinforced tape applied to a horizontal panel covered with NIST SRM 1810A 1 ) standard fibreboard; - method F : Self adhesive tapes - Measurement of shear adhesion of filament reinforced tape applied to a horizontal panel covered with a fibreboard agreed upon by the buyer and seller; - method G : Self adhesive tapes - Measurement of shear adhesion to a vertical standard steel panel at elevated temperature after a 10 min dwell time.
