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 В : Self adhesive tapes — Measurement of shear adhesion to a vertical panel covered with NIST SRM 1810A 1) standard fibreboard; — method С : 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.
