scope:

This European Standard specifies a series of methods for the determination of peel adhesion properties of self adhesives tapes. Annexes A and B specify further variations in the testing protocol according to specific conditions. This European Standard contains:-Method 1: Self adhesive tapes-Measurement of peel adhesion from stainless steel at an angle of 180° ;-Method 2: Self adhesive tapes-measurement of peel adhesion from its own backing at an angle of 180° ;-Method 3: Self adhesive tapes-Measurement of peel adhesion of double sided and transfer tapes at an angle 180° ;-Method 4: Self adhesive tapes-Measurement of adhesion of the liner to an adhesive tape at an angle of 180°. Together with-Annex A Self adhesive tapes-Measurement of peel adhesion from a surface at low temperature ;-Annex B Self adhesive tapes-Measurement of peel adhesion from a surface at an angle of 90°. A guide to the use of these methods and annexes is given in Table 1.
