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 1) 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.
