This European Standard 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.
