scope:

Is applicable to solvent-based, dispersion, hot-melt and reactive adhesives, their basic constituents, and related products the coating of which are coloured and/or subject to a change of colour by light. It describes a method of measuring the colour of an adhesive coat and the magnitude of a change of colour under the influence of light. A change of colour of an adhesive coat can be very undesirable in practice, in particular if goods made of white or bright coloured materials such as paper, textiles or leather are adhesively bonded and material surfaces are contaminated by coated adhesive.
