This standard specifies a method to measure flagging which may occur under specified conditions.
Knowledge of the flagging is useful in determining whether the adhesion of the adhesive tape to a backing of the same adhesive tape is adequate for applications where unwinding could occur. The flagging may occur under normal conditions, during the curing cycle of thermosetting adhesives or during immersion in liquids.
